Dagunduro Endures Long Journey Home
Photo by NoneWhen Ade Dagunduro walks across the court at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Saturday night, Nebraska basketball fans will recognize his smile.
That hasn’t disappeared. He’s still gregarious, friendly and easy going.
Dagunduro’s physical stature looks familiar, too. He remains lean and fit, with the right amount of muscle and very little fat adorning his 6-foot-5 frame. At age 32, he looks able to suit up and play today.
Only, he’s not. Far from it.
What Nebraska fans won’t realize they're seeing is a former collegiate and professional basketball player who spent months in a wheel chair, knowing his playing days were well behind him, wondering why, and what would be next.
