By the way:
- Montegranaro signs Edgar Sosa (188-PG-23) 14.1 ppg and 4.5 apg last season in Biella; and release Daniele Cavaliero
- Caserta signs croatian Andrija Stipanovic (208-C-25) 13.7 ppg and 7.4 reb at Liegi, Belgium
- Varese signs Luca Garri (207-PF-29) last season 6.7 ppg and 3.7 rebs at Caserta
- coach: Treviso signs Sasha Djordjevic, Roma could bring back one of Svetislav Pesic or Jasmin Repesa
***A NEW SEASON ARE COMING***
- Newly promoted Casale Monferrato agreed to terms with rookie F Joe Trapani (Boston College). Dunno if he's getting an Italian passport, though.
- Montegranaro is in talks with SF Michalis Pelekanos (Olympiakos), but he asks for 400k euros. They're trying to bring back USA/Swiss C Greg Brunner (Treviso), too.
- PF Justin Doellman was about to sign with Pesaro but in the end he choosed to stay in Spain where he will play with Manresa.
- Biella is dealing with Aris' youngster Linos Chrysikopoulos. They're looking for a PG, so they would like to have Anthony Maestranzi on loan from Siena, but they're also after Cantù' s Jonathan Tabu.
- Cantù may add an experienced player in their frontcourt rotations, it could be Marco Mordente (Milano).
- Virtus Bologna would like to re-form the PG/C duo that had so much success in Siena, so after Terrell McIntyre they would like to sign Benjamin Eze, who's under conctract with Milano, but not on Scariolo's plans.
- Newly promoted Casale Monferrato officially announced the signing of rookie PF Joe Trapani (Boston College), who I think may get an Italian passport, in this case it would be an interesting move.
- Milano agreed to terms with C Ioannis Bouroussis (Olympiakos).
- Treviso finally announced the agreement with Israeli PG Gal Mekel (Galil Gilboa).
- Cantù should have reached a deal with rookie G/F David Lighty (Ohio State). I think they will only look for a PG to seal the roster.
Any rumours who it might be? Remember Hickman was somehow close. Basically if I remember all the players correctly, roster might look really good and interesting:Originally Posted by boyd20
PG: xxx, Cinciarini, Tabu
SG: Markoishvili, Mazzarino
SF: Micov, Lightly (?)
PF: Scekic, Leunen
C: Parakhouski, Ortner, Marconato
I have no clue. I just hope they're not adding an Italian PG, as there are no good options available there (Giachetti or Vitali, please no!!)
Hickman would have been interesting, but signed with Pesaro.
Guys do you know if Varese will keep Recalcati??
Obviously yes.
I thought Giachetti just signed for Milano or he was very close...
Rumors about Cantù backup PG involve Bulleri, Vitali, Basile, Cavaliero and Spinelli...
Ortner maybe stay for euroleague. Tabu go away.
Maestranzi left Sutor Montegranaro
Jerel McNeal signs to Fabi Montegranaro
Important new player for Montegranaro. And the next maybe will be Greg Brunner by Benetton Treviso.
Biella signs Jacob Pullen Evers
I don't know if is a good player but is sure that will be not easy to play better than Sosa
Edgar Sosa imo is a very interesting and talented young player. You can't say he had a bad rookie season...He had a terrific start and led his team not far from the top positions of the standings in the first months. Then, he went fading later in the season, but the same happened to all of his teammates.
He has to play defense and needs to learn he can't run all the time, he has to improve playing against the defense set, but he can make a difference on the offensive end and he's capable to win games by himself. I think he will do well next to a defensive specialist like Jerel McNeal.
They're going to change a lot of things there in Montegranaro, as they based almost all of their game on the pick 'n' roll Maestranzi (Cinciarini)-Ford, now they have a scoring minded PG in Sosa and different type of big men with Nicevic and probably Brunner coming back only one season later.
Montegranaro is in talks with Kennedy Winston, since Pelekanos is asking for too much money.
Cavaliero is nowhere close to be a PG, I don't know what the f**k they are thinking about there in Cantù. Cinciarini-Cavaliero as a PG duo the year they're back in Euroleague...C'mon.
Latest signings...
- Cremona ----> SF Brandon Thomas (Braunschweig)
- Montegranaro ----> SG Jerel McNeal (Rio Grande Valley Vipers)
- Biella ----> PG Jacob Pullen (Kansas State)
Where is Troutman ?
Suffered a serious, season-ending injury...he's a free agent.
Thank's
troutman will be re-sign by air avellino next days...but the big rumors in italy is Milano wants to sign Richardson!
if this rumor will be right, we'll have the new champions of Serie A 2011-2012 for sure
- Biella officially signed Aris' young SF Linos Chrysikopoulos with a 3-yr deal.
- Casale is waiting fro Joe Trapani to get an Italian passport. Meanwhile they signed PG/SG Matt Janning (Rio Grande Valley Vipers).
- Treviso is targeting Romanian PF Vlad Moldoveanu (American).
