If there was ever a player with a name that was guaranteed to throw Chris Marlowe for a loop, it’s Jesusemilore Talodabijesu Ojeleye, the hybrid forward from Southern Methodist University.
Ojeleye, who goes by Semi, is the son of Nigerian parents, and was raised in Ottawa, Kansas. Semi was one of the top high school players of all time in Kansas, and was heavily recruited, ultimately choosing to play for Coach K at Duke. He sat on the bench his first two seasons, averaging 6.2 minutes per game before deciding to transfer to SMU. He sat out the 2015-16 season, but exploded this last season for the Mustangs, finishing as the AAC Player of the Year.
