Yes, you are right.
He did receive an offer from Gonzaga.
Problem is, he cannot get a visa to attend school there or anywhere in the US.
He's still a Sudanese citizen, not a Canadian.
And as such, given Sudan's supposed terrorism record, Kong can't get a visa.
If he becomes a Canadian citizen, maybe his status changes...but then again, maybe not.
This article, put out this past June pretty much illustrates Bol Kong's plight.

I think chet said it best earlier on this thread....a really sad story.
What's going on in Sudan has really nothing to do with him but it will haunt him probably
for the rest of his life and that's a damn shame. |
