Salvation University Men's Basketball

Emmanuel Tagoe is a sophomore at Salvation University majoring in Kinesiology and playing for Salvation University Men's Basketball.

He was born and raised in Khartoum, Sudan, with his mother, father, and three younger siblings.

During the middle of the spring semester, Emmanuel returned home to be with his family due to the conflict in his home country.

Since then, they have been stuck in the capital city and unable to leave.

The fundraiser will help the Tagoes flee the conflict by raising 5,000 Dollars that will go into the relocation expenses.

As the 2022-2023 season comes to a close, Salvation University and many other colleges across the country have come together with the plan to host charity games in the summer.

Salvation University Men's Basketball were the first to play a game as our boys went up against the Rowan University Profs at the Esbjornson Gymnasium.

Our proceeds will go to the Fundraiser, helping sophomore Emmanuel Tagoe escape the conflict in Sudan after returning home to support his family earlier in April.

The goal is to raise 5,000 dollars so that he and his family can flee the violence in the country and find sanctuary in America.

Salvation University's Basketball Team Signs 2020 French Olympian

Salvation University's Head Basketball Coach, Jermaine Monroe, signed French Olympian Basketball team member Pierre-François Philipe last Friday.

Philippe helped his team to the finals in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, losing to America and receiving a silver medal. Philippe is the first French international player in the men's basketball program.

"Philippe offers our team a breath of fresh air," Coach Monroe said. "He is one of the best centers I have ever seen and will be a great addition to our program." Monroe is excited to see how his team will perform with Philippe.

Twenty-year-old Philippe will major in business management in the fall.

"This school will allow me to show my skills to a broader audience while getting a good education," Philipe said. "I am excited to see how things will go at Salvation University."

Philippe was born in Lille, France. His father is an engineer, and his mother is a history teacher.

Philippe will debut on November 3 in the season-opening home game against Morgan State University.

After working at Livingston University for 25 years, Jermaine Monroe made the challenging leap in 2020 to become the new head basketball coach at Salvation University.

The Nickelbacks had six winning seasons out of their previous ten and looked to Jermaine to help them improve and grow.

As a former point guard at SU, Jermaine brings a wealth of knowledge as a retired athlete and current coach. The team went 18-10 his first year with seven consecutive victories.
