Lol. GCU is on Camelback west of downtown Phoenix. It is not in a good part of the city (it’s campus is actually surrounded by a high gate and there are guards at every entrance) but it has the exact same model as Liberty and so is swimming in cash. Their basketball arena is actually nice and literally within walking distance to their dorm (their dorms are patterned after downtown Disney, by the way).

More on Ekanem from his Sam Houston bio:
Ekanem is an interesting hire because Torey Alston, a bouncy 6-8 wing, just decommitted from Sam Houston State. I know a lot of recruiting folks were surprised when he committed there in the first place, wonder if he’s seen as an A-10 level player. Definitely athletic enough.
