Eliel came over from the Congo sometime in late 2015. He is 6'9 and very long. Runs the floor, is a tremendous shot blocker and has a very high motor. Very good finisher at the rim. Played for Northern Kings out of Toronto which is affiliated with Stackhouse Elite. Also was a member of Team Canada at Adidas Nations

His regular AAU Team was the Northern Kings out of Canada. He and Marcus Carr switched to Stackhouse Elite for the final 2 weeks of July which is when UC saw him in Milwaukee. He played in Vegas the last evaluation period but was limited because of a minor injury. So there was really only one event he played in America to be seen at full strength and he flirted with a triple double in almost every game. UC was able to get in quick and keep things quiet before he blew up and they likely got a little lucky he wasn't full strength in Vegas or at Adidas Nations. I know Georgia Tech was working to get him to visit and several others were calling, but it was down to the kid liking UC on his visit and committing or letting others get involved. Obviously the visit did the trick...

They are still very much involved with Epperson. He's a skilled 4 and Eliel is a rim protecting 5...

So at 6'8, does his length make him play taller? Arms really long?
