OUTLOOK
Sanmi is a son of Polish mother and Nigerian father who is computer engineer. He clearly stands out in national youth teams of his country and hopefully can transfer to School in USA before being eligible for college. 1-2 inches more would be highly appreciated but he can become good low major Division I player given his strength, length, rebounding ability and dedication.
