Bilal Kelly, a former Strawberry Mansion star and now at Redlands Community College has checked in with the staff at Runhouse and Rasool Hajj. Kelly reports that the college workouts are ”very intense with a lot of running”. While classes may start at 9am that is by no means the beginning of the day for the lean athletic forward. Kelly also says that the “team gets up at 5:30am to run then workout with positional drills”

Kelly was an attendee of our 1st summer workout and earned his scholarship off the video of that workout that Rasool sent to the coach at Redlands. 

Bilal, make sure with the day beginning at 5:30am that your going to bed early and that hard work will pay off. Perhaps you can join your brother at the next stop on your journey. Check back with us soon and let us know how the team is doing.

Daniel Armah, aka “The Accra Assassin”, got a chance to show Lakeland’s coach Cedric Brown his skills recently at Rick Ball’s Juco Showcase in Chicago.

Armah not only was the leading rebounder but also finished as the 3rd leading scorer. Coach Brown was very pleased with his newest recruit and has alot of confidence in his ability.

Speaking with Coach Brown last week also revealed that Armah has had a growth spurt and is now a legitimate 6′ 7″. When asked about the growth Armah simply replied “I hope I grow to 6′ 8″. We hope you grow as well Dan and feel confident you will have a breakout season with Lakeland.
