Belgian joining Wyoming basketball team
Wyoming wrapped up its recruiting season in men’s basketball by signing a 7-footer from Belgium who is one of Europe’s top junior players.
Mikhail Linskens is expected to play on Belgium’s 20-and-under national team this summer, according to Wyoming athletic department officials.
Linskens was one of his club team’s youngest players. He averaged nine points and five rebounds a game, hit 39 percent of his 3-point attempts and made 80 percent of his free throws.
“He’s a big, European and skilled guy,” coach Heath Schroyer said. “I’m really, really happy to get him.”
