Great to hear that they're continuing there basketball careers!
It's always nice to see Panthers have success after they leave here.

Here are updates on other former players still playing (most info gathered from basketball.usbasket.com): Jerard Ajami - Just finished his first season playing in Australia's Waratah League for the Coffs Harbour Suns. Mitch Carter - Played last season with the Markham (IL) City Racers of the Independent Basketball Association. May be going back overseas for the upcoming season. Boo Davis - Last played in 2013 in France for the Union Poitiers. Sounds like he will be playing again this upcoming season. Derek Durham - Also last played in 2013 in France for the ESQ Trappes San Quentin En Yvelines team. I'm not sure if he has finally retired or just took a year off. Ricky Franklin - Will be returning to France to play for Union Basket Chartres Metropole. Paris Gulley - Played for the Bloomington Flex of the Premier Basketball League this past season. Anthony Hill - Spent last year in Germany with MLP Academics Heidelberg. I believe he will be with a new team next year. Jason McCoy - Was in Costa Rica last season with Ferreteria Brenes Barva. Not sure if he is returning. Tony Meier - Played 2014 season in Portugal for Vitoria SC. Going to Poland for 2015 to play for Polpharmie. Dylan Page - Finished another strong season in 2014 in the Czech Republic for CEZ Nymburk. Not sure if returning for 2015. Marcus Skinner - Played 2014 in Mongolia for UVS Erdene Drilling Rigs. Not sure of 2015 team but apparently he put a coaching career on hold last year to play in Mongolia - www.mlive.com/sports/flint/index.ssf/2013/02/mott_assistant_marcus_skinner.htmlAvery Smith - Played in Colombia in 2014 season for Bucaros. May be returning for 2015 season. Clay Tucker - Heading back to Turkey for 2015 season to play for Aykon TED Kolejliler Ankara. Kaylon Williams - Heading to Switzerland to play for Starwings in 2015. Spent last season in Slovenia. While JO hasn't signed with a team yet, I do expect that he will find a team somewhere. So including Kyle and Bobo's participation for Senegal in the FIBA World Cup, the Panthers will have at least 15 former players actively playing professional basketball around the world plus one playing professional football as well. Pretty cool to have this many former players active at once. |

Many signs are pointing to him making the Chiefs 53-man roster. Most published reports believe he is a lock. |

I believe that he would be the first UWM grad in the NFL since Mike Reinfeldt.

I believe that he would be the first UWM grad in the NFL since Mike Reinfeldt. Didn't he make the final roster last year? If so, he's already the first since Reinfeldt. If not, i hope he does make it. |

I don't see him on the list of cuts for KC according to the NFL, so it appears that he's made it, pending any adjustments after the front office looks over players cut from other teams.
Congrats, sir. Well done.

He's listed as #84 on the Chiefs roster online. Sounds like he made it.
