Great news Colonial fans! Former RMU forward Russell Johnson
has struck a deal to play overseas in Spain for Penas Huesca (also known
as Lobe Huesca for sponsorship reasons). As far as I’m concerned, the news was
broke by head coach Andy Toole via twitter.
This is awesome news for Russell, who has always had great
talent and still has his best basketball ahead of him. Russell was a guy who
has seen time since his freshman year but never seemed to reach his full potential
until he came on strong the second half of this past season. Russell is a great
rebounder (second in school history) and has a solid inside-out game.
I’m not too familiar with Eurobasketball but Lobe Huesca
sems to have a pretty good history. Right now they’re in the second tier of the
LEB Gold division with twelve other teams. They went 11-15 last season and made
the playoffs as the eighth and final seed, where they lost the best of five
series 3-1 to the eventual champs Lucentum.
We wish the best to Russell Johnson for his continued
success. It’s not everyday you get to play the game you love for a full-time
living.
