By: Daniel Hawk TULSA, Oklahoma - As the NBA draft approaches, one former Golden Hurricane star hopes he’s one of the 60 chosen. Brandon Rachal is aiming to become the first TU player drafted since Jordan Clarkson in 2014. "It’s a lot of hard work, this is the job I've always wanted," Rachal said. Rachal has had one goal on his mind ever since he could pick up a basketball: become a professional athlete. The former TU guard started 52 games for the Golden Hurricane, averaging 13 points a game. He could have returned for one more year, but understood with the chance to play professional basketball, it was time to move on.
