Wolves Unleash Salinas in Guard Rotation
“We have always been focused on establishing a strong local contingent in our SBL teams – where our junior Wolves can clearly identify with the strong development path that is available to them” said Wanneroo Basketball Association President Ryan Hunter.
“To be able to do this, it is important to unleash exciting Wolves juniors into the program, retain our club stalwarts and recruit impressive WA based players who show a commitment to the development of junior basketball and understand the importance of the Wolves culture”. Hunter added.
Joining club stalwarts Tony Pearman and Doug Gates and exciting juniors Reece Maxwell and Rhys Smyth are new recruits Seb Salinas and Reece Langford. Seb and Reece both join the Wolves after progressing from the Stirling Senators junior program through to the Senators SBL program.
Phil Doherty, head coach of the Titan Interactive Wolves made it a priority in the offseason to recruit Seb and Reece to the program.
“I am excited about the quality and depth of our guards for the upcoming season and can’t wait to see these guys develop and reach their full potential over the coming years”, Doherty said.
“Seb is a player that I never thought would be available for the Wolves program. Seb shows all of the characteristics that the Wolves embody and he has already fit right into the group with his high work ethic and commitment to developing juniors”.
“Reece is also an exciting prospect for the Wolves. In the early stages of the preseason, Reece was able to show us what he is capable of, and we are excited to see the three Reece’s (Reece, Reece and Rhys) develop into a solid guard rotation that can be at the club for a long time. All three possess on court smarts, are remarkably quick and compliment each others games” Coach Doherty said.
“Now with a solid guard rotation that will take us into the next phase of the Wolfpack’s SBL program, we can look to find and develop the next Wolves big man. The Wolves have had great success in previous years, with Damian Matacz and Alex Loughton both Wolves juniors. I am excited that our next job is to find the next Damo or Big Al that is going to join our talented young team on an exciting journey over the coming years.” Hunter said, reflecting on the signing of Seb and Reece.
Be on the lookout for further announcements about the finalisation of the Wolves lineup for season 2010.
