brianstl Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 From his Leverkusen profile: FROM LIMBURG TO THE RHINE: STEF VAN BUSSEL Stef Van Bussel is new on the Rhine. Just like Nino Vrencken before him, the 2.08 meter tall board player is moving from the Limburg Basketball Academy to Leverkusen. Van Bussel is a Dutch Under-18 international and word of his talent hasn't just spread in the Netherlands. Stef is not only planned for the squad of BAYER GIANTS, but also for men ll (1. Regionalliga West) and the NBBL. His new U19 coach Jacques Schneider sees him as an important reinforcement: "Stef will play a similar role in the NBBL as Nino Vrencken did before, he should become an important performer for us. In the men's ll he will also receive minutes and train with the ProA squad. He received a good basic education in Limburg and we want to give him the opportunity to improve on the various gaming platforms. I am very much looking forward to working with him and I am sure that he will enrich our program.” In the summer of 22', Van Bussel played for the Dutch U18 national team at the B-EM in Ploiesti (Romania), scoring an average of 4.1 points and picking up 5.9 rebounds per game. The board player scored his first and only "double-double" against Romania in the "match for 7th place" (ten points and just as many collected rebounds). Leverkusen is looking forward to its new Power Forward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Dang I was hoping to come here and see the extreme takes about a guy we didn't know existed 2 hours ago. Eventually he'll either be "exactly what we need and the savior" or he'll be "another wasted euro big man who won't last 3 months on campus". I hope our entire front court is foreign.

ACE Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I'd like to know what other colleges were recruiting him. I felt pretty good about both Loe and Ellis because they had some P6 interest/offers. Ingvi - not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison hopefully changes it but under Ford international players have been huge busts in one way or another. Like, every single one.
