Canaria Basketball Academy - One year On

Can someone - probably Franklyn or CBA player - post where other players/graduates are off to next year?

Players that have not been mentioned yet are (from website)

Amir Boucenna
Daniel Thompson
Filip Macevski
Jason Beharie
Menelik Watson
Gilvydas Biruta
Johnathon Hirst
Bandja Sy
Tosha Gommers
Nathaniel Smith

Believe that Keith Anderson was a player there - one that was sent home (along with Ryan Richards) before being allowed back due to their part in the "breaches of discipline".

Franklyn - I notice Rich Sheubrooks pic being on the website and I am sure I have seen a couple of others up during the year - do u have more?
BTW, from the website , it looks like Nate's surname is "Vernon" : wink

We have seen Menelik Watson and Jonathon Hirst recently and I believe both are returning to GCBA
A bit rusty and knackered but still impressive for her age!

All the players you mention will be back next year. With the exception of Jason and Menelik, the other young men had commited to a program of 2 + years. Jason and Menelik were potentially 1 year students but a number of factors (long term injuries, position transitioning, etc) have made it necessary for them to do a second year.


Yes, I do have more and I'll put them up later. I know Rob has posted some on the academy facebook group

and thanks for the reminder about Nate's surname :-)

This one is a bit complicated

1993 England Development squad named individual (see link November 2007) Dale Francis. He was stated as a 1994 unattached boy.

He then went off to Gran Canaria but does not appear on their roster.

He has not attneded recent England Camps

Is he at Gran Canaria?

Has he been assigned elsewhere?

Did he ever go there ?

Does he still belong to England Development - all a bit of a puzzle and I would appreciate someone throwing some light on the subject.

CBA nicked Samit from Magic good for Samit not so good for Magic, though it gives our young coaches a chance to shine.

Those apartments are better than the 4 star hotel I stayed in whilst in GC over the summer, is a very nice place the weather is amazing 20+ degrees at 3am! 33 during the day during May-June time.

Having had the pleasure to seeing some of the players play last year at the Haris tournament last Christmas I hope they come back and defend their title will be the first team to do so.

Good luck to everyone at CBA Faster, Harder, Stronger!
