Sagesse 09-10 : updates and news

[daniab]

Latest news that Sagesse is about to make a deal with Guillermo Vecchio as a coach for the new season.
Brian Beshara is supposed to come despite some "annoyance" he showed lately about not keeping him the "Coach" and "player" in the same time!

Roy Samaha is probably going to sign today with Sagesse.Knowing that Roy decreased his salary big time

Lately,it has been reported that Alvin Sims is in talk with Sagesse which is not true at all and Alvin didn't receive any calls from Sagesse!

Roster for 09-10 season:

Marshall Philips (196-F-75)
Patrick Fields
Nadim Souaid(193-F-87)
Joe Ghatas (186-G)
Rony Abou Jaoude (183-G)
Brian Beshara (204-F-77)
Ralf Akl (178-G-90)
David Derghyiyan (190-G)
Robert Abou Dagher (204-F-85)
Roy Samaha (205-C-84)
Amir Eid (186-G-89)
Patrick Bou Abboud (198-F-87)
Alfred Mikhail

If Sagesse could sign two good foreigners,their team is capable to compete,as an exemple Tebnine last year did not have better local lineup than Sagesse this year and they managed to reach the Semi Finals.

Brian Beshara (204-F-77) arrives tomorrow to Lebanon!

[SNIPER]

Did Brian arrive or not yet?

[SNIPER]

I heard that Sagesse got a point guard and a 6'5 forward. Same mistake every year. They need a pg and a center or a PF/C (like jackson Vroman)

Brian Bechara arrived and he's now practicing with Sagesse.

Marshall Philips (196-F-75) and Adrian Penland (189-G-80) will join the green castle!

Marshall Phillips, Adrian Penland join Sagesse
The American duo of Marshall Phillips (196-F-75 ) and Adrian Penland (186-G-80) will join Sagesse – Al Hekmeh Beirut for the upcoming season.

The 34-year old Phillips attended Appalachian State University and has shown good experience along his career which included stops in France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and the NBDL.

The 29 year old Penland was the best player of Lappeenranta NMKY (Finland-Korisliiga) in Finland. He also played before in Latvia, Poland, Cyprus, Greece, Germany.

With these two new imports, Sagesse Al Hekmeh is real candidate for championship in Lebanon.

Penland looks like he's not coming as I heard from multiple sources that he has some problems preventing him from joining Sagesse

[daniab]

Patrick Fields (198-G/F-84) will replace Adrian Penland!
