Help 0n an old recruit

A few years back the GRIZ had a Canadian kid at camp. He was named MVP, and quite the player with an unusual name. Does anyone remember the kid's name and where is he playing now? He was quite a player. Thanks in advance.

Just a guess- Henry Bekkering?? He played for Eastern Wa for a while.

No, African American player that moved to Canada. He was unreal.

His name is/was Mangisto Arop a 6-5 guard forward out of Edmond Alberta but was originally from Africa (I can not remember which country). He signed with Gonzaga last spring and is currently averaging about 2 points and 3 rebounds a game this season. He has seen action in all 8 games so far averaging about 9 minutes a game.

The griz coaches were really high on him and wanted him pretty bad, but Gonzaga found out about him and went after him. He is an unreal athlete who can jump out of the gym.

T Y, I was wondering being I thought the GRIZ were in the running for him. He dominated the camp as a 16 year old. http://www.gozags.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/arop_mangisto00.html
