Head coach Dave Elderkin spent long hours watching DVD and the more he saw the more he was impressed by Paul’s potential and his total commitment to the Yale team concept.

“I can see why Paul would get top ten rankings for rebounding and blocked shots, and if there was such a category, Paul would be the world leader for setting screens for team mates”Paul meets his new team mates on Thursday 2 September, and will have 1 week to fit in and be ready to play the Eagles on Friday 10 September.
