“People don’t know how much I prank people,” Ogonna told VolleyBallMag.com. “On my answering machine, if you would call my phone and I wasn’t available you would listen to an answering machine and think I was there but I really wasn’t. I say ‘hello, oh, just a minute I’m on the other line. Can you hang on?’ And then I’m not even there.”
