All-Navy hoops star commits to WSU
Staff Report

Paul Darkwa, a 6-foot-7 All-Navy basketball player originally from Ghana, has given Wright State a verbal commitment for next season.
Darkwa, whose family moved to New Jersey, played high school basketball in Los Angeles at Ramona High School in Riverside, then joined the Navy eight years ago. He is stationed at Key West, Fla., where he is an aviation boatswain?s mate and an airman recruit.
He was spotted on the Navy team and a friend alerted WSU, which is hoping the NCAA will clear Darkwa for four years of eligibility since he has never enrolled in college. If Darkwa signs in April as expected, he would give the Raiders a full complement of 13 scholarship players.
