Welcome, Rahman Olajuwon, a transfer from Tyler JC
🏀 Member of the Jordan National Team 🇯🇴
🏀 Started 13 games at TJC, helping the team make the Region XIV Quarterfinals last season

Idk what class he is but I’m so hyped.
Gotta be next year since he’s a JC player
Season tickets about to soar if “The Dream” comes to games
How big is he?
6’8”, 195 lbs
Seems to be a work in progress. During his freshman season last season he averaged 2.5 points and 3.5 rebounds and averaged 3.8 minutes per game. Hopefully he will continue to develop and contribute to Cajun success on the court in the future.
What is odd is that it says he is ‘signed’. Not sure how he can sign in August, if it isn’t for the upcoming semester.
He played one year at JC after playing in Jordan. Which is similar to a prep school league. He is a preferred walk-on was told today. His dad is paying his way, not certain if that changes later. Waiting for more information like everyone else. Looking forward to seeing his father in the dome on ocassion.
Me and Owen have been playing NBA Jam for the last 6 months. When he found out The Dream’s son was a Cajun, he lost his mind. He can’t wait to go to the dome now.

@Marvin merged your post into existing thread.
I had a Hakeem Olajuwon poster on my wall when I was a kid. I’m confident that I did not really know anything about him nor did I watch much NBA basketball. Just liked the name, I suppose.
Anyway. Happy to have this kid.
He’s on this years roster, just without a number, won’t be shocked if he is redshirted to get some more meat on his body.
Didn’t we win against his dad back in the day?
No, I went to that game in Houston since I was living and working there. We lost by 1 point, 78-79, and the Dream blocked a lay-up by George Almones to end the game. That was Jan 10th, 1983.
I played golf with Clyde Drexler a few years ago at Royal Oaks CC in Houston. The president of my company is close friends with Clyde. After being introduced, I told Clyde I watched him in college against USL. He looked straight at me and said, “they were good". Houston ended up losing the championship that year to NC State. Jim Valvano.
That’s a cool story, bro.
Probably my favorite NBA player of all time. Huge Olajuwon fan.
Man, there’s Coach Q using his UH connections to our benefit again!!!

But your handle doesn’t have the #34 in it. Not a true fan.
