Lol. GCU is on Camelback west of downtown Phoenix. It is not in a good part of the city (it’s campus is actually surrounded by a high gate and there are guards at every entrance) but it has the exact same model as Liberty and so is swimming in cash. Their basketball arena is actually nice and literally within walking distance to their dorm (their dorms are patterned after downtown Disney, by the way).

Ekanem is an interesting hire because Torey Alston, a bouncy 6-8 wing, just decommitted from Sam Houston State. I know a lot of recruiting folks were surprised when he committed there in the first place, wonder if he’s seen as an A-10 level player. Definitely athletic enough.

May have to start putting brisket on the team menu with them Texas boys coming in...

I'm sure Malik would something to say 'bout that.. "If it's not brisket made in Texas then don't bother."
