You can still make the Elite Eight without him.

He can speak English pretty well. For Turks, that's not very common. He moves pretty well without the ball. Just the fact that his Dad wants him to go to a U.S. University (and master English) is enough of a reason for Turks to go all out to sabotage him. He didn't represent Turkey in FIBA, because his Dad wanted him to study, (and stay academically eligible.) Do you realize how unpopular all this is going to be in Turkey? They will do all they can to sabotage this guy. Look, after this Flotilla thing, people should all know how these folks twist stuff. They hit military people over the head (with steel bars,) and then complain when they got killed? PALEAZE!! Call us supporters of terrorism (Israel,) while they support Hamas (obviously a terrorist group.) They twist to get what they want. The NCAA better have really strong proof before they do anything. Truth will be elusive in this situation. I hope you get him. Very, very hard for Turks to learn English. Turkey Glue still butchers it. This kid has to be in the top 1% of all Turks (smart.)

Maybe, but they are thin in numbers. Without him they are only 10 with 2 uproven bigs and a small freshman that would be a walkon any other year. Although everybody else is a 6'6"/6'8" high flier.
