"We are pleased to announce the signing of Elhadji.  He comes from a great family and a great basketball program in Pickerington Central.  He's exactly the type of talented, high character young man that we want to continue to add to this program.  Elhadji has an incredible work ethic, and his length and athleticism will make an immediate impact on both ends of the floor.  Elhadji has displayed a special passion for the game of basketball and we feel he will thrive in our system." Tom Church, Tiffin University Head Men's Basketball Coach  

"I chose Tiffin because they offered me an opportunity to work hard and better cultivate my game.  I can see this program helping me grow as a player and a person.  The team had a family-like atmosphere and the campus is close to home."  Elhadji Thiam

 

"Elhadji has worked extremely hard over the past 4 years to develop himself into a great player in our basketball program.  He possesses the talent and work ethic to become a force on both ends of the floor at the college level.  More importantly, Elhadji is an even better young man off the court who carries himself the right way, has excelled in the classroom and is respectful to everyone he comes across.  He is a winner and will truly be missed but I can't wait to see the impact Elhadji has at Tiffin and going forward in life!" Eric Krueger, Pickerington Central Boys Basketball Coach

 

"Elhadji is a great player and a better person.  He will have the opportunity from Day one to make an impact on the Tiffin University Program." Andreas James, NOVA Village AAU
