PORTALES — Chukuka Emili will spend his final col- lege basketball season at Eastern New Mexico University, as the Greyhounds announced landing the 6-foot- 7 forward Tuesday. Emili is a Division-I trans- fer from Houston Baptist. "Chu's size and athleticism are truly special,” ENMU coach Tres Segler said in a release from the school. “His wingspan and leaping ability will give him the ability to Greyhounds play above the rim at all times. We needed someone last season to give us the big lob-dunk plays, and to finish with power and authority from the short corner in our ball screen motion offense. Chu gives us all that and more. His shot blocking abil- ity is a true gift that he will bring to our family here at ENMU, and because we focus so much on physical defensive play, I believe Chu will find himself involved in a ton of action."
