QUOTABLE
“They would really like to use my talents,” Nnaji said of Indiana’s recruiting pitch. “They think that I could be a stretch four, like a three or a four. They’d like me to put the ball down on the floor more and play off the wing, too. But also don’t go away from the post — use both.”

RECENT INTERVIEW
There aren’t a lot of good Nnaji interviews out there, but he does appear in this one midway through discussing his Minnesota AAU program.
Escaping the office for a few days, so throwing this promo up now. I'll feature the loaded @D1Minnesota program Sunday night on @KSTP at 10:45 p.m. They have six players with #Gophers offers, others with high or mid-major ones. Best part is it's an unselfish bunch. pic.twitter.com/L3EYdxM6uz
