MYERSCOUGH COLLEGE BASKETBALL ACADEMY X KAPPA
Kappa UK & Ireland are delighted to announce a new kit deal to supply Myerscough College Basketball Academy until 2027. The Academy has been with Kappa for three years already and also wore the brand’s kit from 2016-19.
SUCCESSFUL ALUMNI...
This comes as the UK’s premier basketball academy has been in the news thanks to the exploits of one of its most successful alumni. Great Osobor has just signed a $2 million deal – a record sum in the US collegiate ranks – to play for the University of Washington.
The 6ft 8in, 21-year-old Spanish-born forward moved to England at the age of 12 and attended the Myerscough College Basketball Academy in Preston from 2019-2021. The Academy is an elite development programme designed to accelerate the journey of talented athletes to the next phase of their careers.
MYERSCOUGH TO MONTANA
From the springboard of the Myerscough Academy, Osobor moved to the US to begin his career at Montana State where he played from 2021 to 2023. He moved on to Utah State for the 2023-24 season, and it was here that he got noticed, resulting in his big money move to Washington in May of this year.
Osobor is not the only recent high-profile product of Myerscough. Amari Williams, who hails from Nottingham and attended the Academy from 2018-2020, has just joined the prestigious University of Kentucky basketball programme. In its 121-year history, the Kentucky Wildcats have won more games than any other US college and boast the best all-time winning percentage.
