Late yesterday evening (thanks a lot, time zone differentials!), we had a great chat with Mandela Tobin. Mandela is a young man from San Diego with some big plans for himself and for the Blue Devils. During our chat, we talked about going from San Diego to Durham, the recruiting process, what made him commit to Duke, as well as Mandela's Nigerian heritage. And, since we were talking about Nigerians who have played football, Christian Okoye's name came up (I may have mentioned Tecmo Bowl). This was a fun talk with an impressive young man. Go Duke!
