Some days ago we published an article talking about Vlad Popovici ('94), the romanian forward who decided to go to a high school in Orlando (Florida) after shining one more summer with his NT. But that's not the only prospect of that country in USA because Vlad Moldoveanu ('88) is playing with American University ('88) and Alexandru Olah ('93) followed their steps also landing in Indiana. The 2.10 center has joined the Traders Point Christian High School looking for an improvement in his career. This summer he competed in the Division "B" U-18 European Championship in Tel Aviv (Israel), where Eurohopes staff travelled, ending with 8.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks even he was one of the younger players there.

 

We contacted him. "I've chosen to come to America because here is a better basketball program, and I want to play at a high basketball level. My goal for next years is to play at college and after that if I have an opportunity I want to play in the NBA. If not I want to go somewhere in Europe".
