Americans bring height and presence to Friends

The Board of Directors of the CAB has just announced the hirings of Ricky Franklin, Aaron Anderson and Jobi Wall. The three athletes, of American origin, close the squad of the club of Nazaré, giving the group guided by João Freitas greater stature and competitiveness, fundamental ingredients for the campaign of Friends in the Professional League. Ricky Franklin graduated from the University of Milwaukee and has been working in Portugal for the last few seasons, particularly in the service of the Lusitania of the Azores and Benfica. The player, six feet tall, plays in the base position and is known to be a very strong athlete physically, as well as having very interesting records in the chapter of the outer launch and penetrations into the basket. Aaron Anderson comes from Keneshaw State University. At 2.01m in height, the athlete holds the university record in terms of achievements and led the conference where he acted in that chapter in the last two years. Anderson is not necessarily a scorer, but is distinguished by his ability to fight and deliver in the inner game. Jobi Wall is an athlete who has been labeled an excellent pitcher and who last year recorded the averages of 14.3 points and 5.1 strikes. to add to these records the fact that it led the second division of the NCAA in percentage of releases of the three, where it distinguished itself with the notable 49% of use. Wall is also a very intense defensive player. The arrival of foreign reinforcements at a time when the time of Friends has already begun is the decision of the Club Administration to reduce by about 50% the costs with the squad. The decision of the managers made the club have to wait until almost the closing of the markets to get athletes who fit the established financial profile. In this way, the club assured players that they will be able to help the team on their way to the League without questioning the goals of financial rebalancing outlined, which are considered priority by the Friends Directive structure.
