With all of the hard work Egwu puts in, I'm surprised to not see him listed.

Sam McLaurin being voted captain is very interesting in my opinion. Last year the team was obviously very tight and let the pressure get to them. I think Sam's "F*** it" attitude could go a long way in helping this team succeed!

Probably because he is so soft-spoken.

Agreed. I think he meant that Nnanna is less vocal as opposed to soft-spoken. TA is soft-spoken as well, but vocal with his teammates. The other difference is that all the captains have more playing time than Nnanna, plus two of them are point guards. Good mix of new and old (at UI) as well.
