While Mario Saint-Supery’s potential move to Gonzaga hasn’t been officialized yet, another European prospect made his way to the NCAA to officially join Baylor University.
It’s the case of the 2007-born Italian talent Maikcol Perez, previously with Orange1 Bassano.
He won back-to-back silver medals with the Italian national team’s youth system, at the U16 FIBA EuroBasket 2023 and at the U17 FIBA Basketball World Cup 2024.
The player announced the news himself on his social media. “Today I want to announce to everyone the biggest step of my life until today,” he first said.
“I want to thank my family first, who always stayed with me. Then I want to thank the Orange1 family and my agent who helped me go through this, and then all my friends who supported me over the years.”
“Now it’s time to roll, baby, and write history. Go Bears,” Perez continued.
