National recruit Festus Ezeli who was a 17 year old greyshirt for 2 seasons at Yuba College has signed at Vanderbilt Univerity in the SEC. Vanderbilt which is known as the "Harvard" of the south "will be a great fit for Ezeli"
said Coach Cornelius," Festus is an extremely bright young man with either a future as a doctor or playing in the NBA. It is tough to loose a young man who spent two years learning the game with you but Festus is in a great situation at Vanderbilt where he will redshirt this year and get 5 years of scholarship paid for!"
Festus walked into Coach Cornelius' office as a 6'10 260 pound 16 year old and asked to be taught. This past summer Festus was offerd scholarships by over 30 high major programs including National Champion Florida and runner up Ohio State.UConn,West Virgina,Minnesota and UNLV.

Yuba possibly to loose two big men-both to scholarships! - (Date Last Updated: 07-02-2007)

As the summer gets going and the recruiting heats up, four year colleges are on the prowl looking for big time basketball players. After a successfull 27-8 season, the 49'ers could loose two players who have spent over a year developing in the 49'er basketball program. The first player-Eric Wahlander is a 6'10 275 pound physical speciman from Sweden. Eric was a redshirt in the Yuba program this last season because he was 3 units short after transferring from a four year university. An extremely hard worker who spent hours in the weight room and gym, Eric has just signed a full scholarship to play next year at Hawaii Pacific University. Eric finished this last year at Yuba with a 3.6GPA and will transfer to Hawaii with 3 years still to play. It came down to money-said Coach Cornelius. We looked at his situation and even though Eric wanted to stay and help Yuba back to another "Elite 8" the cost of him being at a Community College were such that it just made since to go play on a full scholarship. The coaching staff at Yuba is very happy for the opportunity that Eric has in front of him!
The second post player that has been developing at Yuba College is Festus Ezeli.
Nigerian born, Festus walked into the basketball office in December of 2006 and asked to be taught. At 6'10 255 pounds and only 16 years old at the time, Festus has quickly developed into one of the most recruited players ever to come from Yuba College. After spending the 2006-07 season as a greyshirt, Festus now is being recruited by UCLA, Stanford, CAL, UNLV, Minnesota, USC and about 30 others. Without ever having played in a high school or college game, Festus has offers from schools all over the country. With a 3.85 GPA at Yuba with almost 30 units done, Festus will decide shortly if he wants to stay and gain valuble playing experience at Yuba or sign with a college basketball power and possibly redshirt in 07-08. Either way, Yuba basketball is proud of these two young men and how far they have come this previous year at Yuba College.
