Sheriff Drammeh is already a versatile speaker, fluent in three languages – Swedish, English and Mandinka. He is now looking to become a versatile player for the University of Hawai’i basketball team.
Drammeh, a 6-foot-3 freshman point guard, was a late addition to the Warriors – his signing was announced a week before classes started. He is from Stockholm, Sweden, and made the nearly-7,000 mile flight to Honolulu in time to get enrolled in classes and begin workouts with his new teammates.
