Daniel Gomis first came to America as a junior in high school. He spoke 3 languages, but English wasn't one of them. He attended a school in Idaho with only one other African-American student.
The 6-foot-10 native of Senegal became one of the top 100 basketball recruits in the nation and signed at Oregon State, spending 5 years at OSU that included a lot of low points (two missed seasons due to a broken leg, plus several other injuries) and high points (finishing in the top 10 in program history in blocked shots, and playing in the program's first NCAA Tournament game in 26 years).
I really enjoyed talking with Daniel about how he's finding his life purpose, his job in Portland at a French-American school, and about racial unity wherever he's traveled to: America, Senegal, New Zealand and more.
