I got the chance to talk to 2018 David Nzekwesi and the forward from Netherlands has seen his offer sheet rise with Lamar, Abilene Christian, New Hampshire, Oral Roberts, Rice and Air Force in a span of ten days.
Nzekwesi talks about what motivates him and the key component to his continued developments.
“I believe that God is a major part of my development because without him nothing is possible. I just want to thank my coaches and family supporting me through this process because it really isn’t easy moving continents money wise,” Nzekwesi said. ” I’m just so thankful that my mom is keeping me right and always happy and positive and she is what drives me because I don’t want her to come out of pocket for college.”
His impressive play at Byron Nelson this year caught a couple of coaches eye especially after posting an 20 point, 20 rebound game against Richardson, where he got four offers within 24 hours afterwards which included North Texas, UT-Arlington, Stephen F. Austin and Texas State.
Nzekwesi goal is to not be a under the radar player in his class, but to be in the top of his class this time next year.
“I want to be considered a top 10 player in my class in Texas and I know I have the ability to show that, Nzekwesi said. “I don’t like doing anything if I’m not first or considered one of the best so I continue to work hard to show my worth.”
Nzekwesi plays for Triumph in the Adidas Silver division and we will continue to follow Nzekwesi’s recruiting and his breakdown of his top schools in the upcoming months. Follow us on Twitter @Txboysbasketball and @ani_umana for news and updates and check texasboysbasketball.com for content!
