Excerpts:
Junior center Akolda Manyang learned over the weekend that his younger brother, Ater Manyang, was found dead from an apparent suicide at a state addiction-treatment center back home in Minnesota... Akolda Manyang left his teammates and flew home Saturday to be with his family and it’s uncertain when he will rejoin the team... “We told him to take as much time as he needed,” Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said of his 7-foot- center after Sunday’s win (versus VCU). Forward Khadeem Lattin told the Oklahoman newspaper after Sunday’s game that the Sooners are playing for Manyang." -

To have gone thru so much in their young lives...
Our condolences to the young man and his family and friends.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain "Innocents Abroad"
