With the fourth Ajayi Elebire Elites Basketball camp at the Ekiti State Pavillion, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State hitting Day 4 today, there is already anxiety in the camp with some of the players hoping to make the slot for the final 10 scholarship slots promised by the organisers for over 50 players in the camp.
Olalekan Ajayi, the founder of the Foundation, said they have been able to notice some players and about six of them have been identified.
“Basketball is not like football, we have noticed some of the players since Day 1 of the camping exercise,” he said.
“Yes, we might see some turning up in the final day, but at least the coaches already have idea of some of the top talents here and I am happy with what we have been able to do.
“Apart from those that will make the final cut, I am sure the others are going to be happy with what they have learnt here at the camp.
“Apart from bringing top coaches for the camp, we were able to feed them three times daily while also kitting them with most of them going home with new shoes, so I am happy with what I am doing with the AEE Basketball Camp.”
Meanwhile, the Ekiti State government through the Technical Adviser on Sports, Dr. Olusola Osetoba, visited the players during their training on Monday evening, where she brought a goodwill message from the state governor, Biodun Oyebanji, who she said would have love to be present to see them but had to travel outside the state due to the death of former president of the country, Muhammadu Buhari, who died on Sunday after in the UK.
