California, land of “Frenchies” in the NCAA: after the young Ilane Fibleuil, who joins Westwood and the UCLA Bruins campus, it’s Adama Ball who continues his college career in the Golden State. AT Santa Clara precisely where Broncos coach Herb Sendek actually secured the services of the French back.
A “discreet” choice but ultimately very logical on the sporting level since a choice position has become available in recent weeks, in the workforce of Santa Clara, the former college of Steve Nash. It is that of rear holder, occupied last year by Brandin Podziemski (19.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists), author of an excellent exercise and therefore on his way to the NBA.
But his remarkable volume of play will have to be replaced, as far as possible according to the qualities of his successor, and the native of Le Mans will undoubtedly be in the front line to be the incumbent at the start of the school year.
After two very frustrating first seasons in Tucson in the ranks of the Wildcats (1.5 points in 5 minutes then 2.5 points in 8 minutes), under the leadership of Tommy Lloyd who arrived from Gonzaga and who had nevertheless recruited him, Adama Bal seems revengeful, quest for playing time and above all impatient to launch his university career in earnest.
