The future is bright.

Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson recently spoke about one of the recent additions who will be a redshirt and shared his thoughts on Djafar Silimana joining the program.

“We were looking for a big kid that we could put in the oven,” Sampson said.” Preheat it to 400, and then hit start and let him just stay in there. In a year from now, Djafar will be a freshman, and that’s what excites me about him.”

Silimana is now the latest star to be added to the Cougars after signing a scholarship agreement announced this past Tuesday. He comes from overseas and will be able to gain a lot of useful insight and intelligence from the players and coaches around him, and expand his talents to the next level whenever he takes the court and faces big-name teams in the Big 12 Conference.
