Former Roman Catholic star Brian Wanamaker has signed with NAIA Div 1 powerhouse Texas Wesleyan. Wanamaker is coming off a very successful season at Lon Morris JC and was instrumental in their 26-6 record. He was another participant in our off season workouts that attracted coaches from accross the nation. Look for Wanamaker to play the point guard position for Texas Wesleyan.

Former Southern Illinois big man Kobby Acquah dropped Runhouse a line this week to let us know that he is “excited about what we are doing for the young kids in Ghana.” Acquah hails from Cape Coast, Ghana and completed his collegiate career as a Southern Illinois Saluki. Prior to playing at Southern Illinois he played at Clark University where he was second in the nation in blocked shots. Acquah is now an engineer while rehabbing a knee injury.

Acquah has offered to assist our players with mentorship and has already spoken to them this week. He is planning to return to Ghana in December and visit the Runhouse-Hoops camp in Cape Coast. We at Runhouse wish Kobby the very best and are glad that we have established a friendship with him.

Runhouse-Hoops Gold Coast Project Recruit - Atsu Atakpa has arrived ready to play for Casper College. Atakpa is the third recruit in the project joining 6′ 6″ Daniel Armah and 6′ 10″ Chris Angsomewine.

“Big Tsu” is a highly skilled player on the post with a soft touch on his shot. He is also a great rebounder and outlet passer.
