Get ready, Louisville! The exciting news is out—Sananda Fru, one of the best German youth basketball players in the Bundesliga, is swapping Europe for the US! This towering 21-year-oldlete (okay, we couldn't resist) will grace the University of Louisville with his presence, bringing his coveted skills to Cardinals men's basketball team.
Born on August 28, 2003, Sananda Fru stands tall at a towering 6 feet 11 inches, boasting a wingspan of an impressive 7 feet 4 inches. He treads the hardwood courts weighing around 245-255 pounds, equipped with a leaping ability that would make even Michael Jordan jealous.
Fru's professional journey began five years ago when he traded his hometown Berlin for the vibrant city of Braunschweig, where he played for Basketball Löwen Braunschweig. In the 2022-23 season, he was named the BBL's Best German Young Player, with an astounding average of 12.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and a staggering 1.6 blocks per game!
But this isn't the end of the story—the next chapter of Fru's incredible journey unfolds as he gears up to conquer American soil. Coach Kelsey is none too pleased about this acquisition, touting Fru as a promising, versatile player who'll bolster both offense and defense for the Cardinals.
As he embarks on this new adventure, Sananda keeps a steadfast focus, acknowledging the support he's received from Braunschweig and the folks he's met along his journey.
