A giant ONE-HANDED basketball star has confirmed his college team – after snubbing several offers elsewhere.
Hansel Emmanuel rose to prominence after posting videos playing streetball in his homeland of the Dominican Republic.
And his successful high school career with Life Christian Academy in Kissimmee, Florida has taken his profile viral.
The guard averaged 26 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists as he helped his side win the Central Florida Christian Academy state title.
Now according to On3Sports, Emmanuel is going to Northwestern State in Lousiana for his college basketball.
But the report adds he decided on Northwestern after rejecting advances from Memphis, Tennessee State and Bethune-Cookman.

The 6ft 4ins ace was born in 2004 in the Dominican Republic.
However, aged six a wall collapsed on his left arm and it needed amputating just below the shoulder.
Emmanuel's father, a former pro basketball player himself, initially feared his son getting hurt if he played.
But Emmanuel refused to let losing an arm restrict or hold him back and now has the full support of his family.
