Unhappy with Brad Waldow's performance, Caen leaders recruited Jordan Tolbert, post 4-5 preview last season at Hyères-Toulon (Pro A), this Wednesday. It should bring the spectacular side that is missing at Caen BC.
In search of an inside to replace Brad Waldow, whose performance (4.5 points, 3.8 rebounds) was too insufficient for an American, Caen BC found the player he was looking for. This is Jordan Tolbert, post 4-5 who arrived this Wednesday afternoon in Paris and will celebrate his 26 years Thursday (2 m, 102 kg). Originally from Texas, Tolbert was trained at the University of Texas Tech and then at Southern Methodist under Larry Brown.
The strong US winger launched his professional career in Casale (2nd Italian division), before joining Hyères-Toulon. Last season, in Pro A, it was 7.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 10.5 average rating.
Smaller and more mobile than Brad Waldow, Jordan Tolbert will have to bring this spectacular side that is currently missing at the CBC. "He has a profile close to that of Jarvis Williams, being stronger and more collective than him," said the leaders of Caen.
They will make the forcing to be qualified from Saturday, for the championship match in Lille. Otherwise, it will begin in its new colors against Paris, November 16 at the Sports Palace. That night, Jerrold Brooks will make his comeback.
Caen BC is 17th in Pro B and remains on three consecutive losses.
