He is from Monroe CC (juco) in Rochester (NY). He has offers from: Rhode Island, St. Bonaventure, Charlotte. He also is interested in Georgia but does not have an offer. No other news on him at this time.
He Mbangs, He Mbangs.
I’s take him sight unseen based on the name alone.

my senior year my high school bball team went to the NY champs for division C…which is your guys 2a…and i kno a kid on our team went there…but he really wasn’t all that great of a player, and i was surprised he even was picked by anyone
but then again it is JUCO, so it could go anyway

Hoopscoop is reporting Mbang to Rhode Island. Even compares him to CW…
[b]6'6 Joe Mbang from Monroe (JC) NY has verbally committed to Rhode Island. That last one is huge, because Mbang, who is a originally from Cameroon, is a big time athlete, a killer on the boards, and very effective from 15-feet and in. In other words, [b]Mbang is out of the same mold as Jason Maxiell, Eric Hicks, and Curtis Withers.[/b] He also is one of the leading candidates for National Division II Player-of-the-Year honors and, once he gets to Rhode Island a year from now, not only should start immediately, but also has a chance be one of the best players in the league. It's also a good thing that Rhode Island got this one done when they did, because the word was starting to get out as big time schools like Georgia and Maryland were making a strong a push.[/b]Link: [url=http://www.hoopscooponline.com/visitors/scoop-free.html]HoopScoopOnline.com[/url]
