You read that and it makes one frustrated and angry that a kid like Adam Robinson (only because he is most current example) pisses away his opportunity, albeit on an even lesser stage.

Is that Adams bong that he has there?? sorry bad joke!! really 'd like to see, Jok, Gessel, Woodbury+ our all over the country recruits!!! GO Hawks

Really an impressive young man,Dau Jok.
I get the same impression from Luol Deng,another Sudanese native,whose family also fled the violence.
These are young men who seek to give back. Bol was the same way.
I certainly would love to see high-character kids like these attend Iowa. Hope that Peter Jok ends up being a Hawkeye,as you can see that these kids really appreciate the opportunity for higher education,and work hard at academics.
So, Manute Bol was their uncle? Keep growing,Peter,and then be a Hawkeye!

Would love to see Peter in a Hawk uni. Class act with character, intellegence, & caring.
