MK Breakers forward Buai Luak has committed to Division One Junior College, Casper College on a full athletic scholarship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based in Wyoming, Casper College is one of the most respected JUCO programmes in the United States and finished with a record of 10 wins and 2 losses this year in Region Nine.<\/p>\n

Buai joined the Breakers and MK5D Academy from local club Bedford Thunder in 2022 and always had ambitions of gaining a scholarship and continuing his playing career in America. The 6\u20199\u201d Finnish international explains, \u201cI\u2019m really happy to announce that I\u2019ll be committing to Casper College for the upcoming season, I\u2019m very excited and looking forward to this next step in my career! Big thank you to everyone at MK and of course my Parents for supporting me through this whole process.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fan favourite Luak instantly made an impact to the team in Milton Keynes and has been part of winning four league titles and four National titles in just two years. MK Breakers\u2019 Men\u2019s and MK5D Academy Head Coach, Billy Beddow-Patel said, \u201cIt\u2019s been a brilliant two years with Buai in our programme. He has helped us achieve so much and now it feels brilliant to help him secure the next step of his basketball journey. Coach Tom Parks is a well-respected and a player\u2019s first coach who I know will help Buai to continue to grow and improve at the rate he has here. It\u2019s a big step for our young basketball academy and club here in Milton Keynes. Buai becomes our first player to acquire a full scholarship to the States, proving our pathway and the support that we can offer our players who work hard enough to achieve this. We are so proud of him and everyone wishes him the best moving forward.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
