Has the Brazilian league started up again? I was told that they were trying to get into the Oscar Schmidt league...anyone know what is going on over there?

Hey Jon.
Nice to talk to you again.
It seems Marquinhos is injured or he transferred somewhere else. There's nothing about him at all, no news, all I know is he is not playing for his team as of late, in the Nossaliga competition.
Maybe he is trying to play for another team in the CBB competition, which is way better than the Nossaliga.
Both competitions are on but no interesting prospect has emerged so far.
The only news is that Lucas Tischer is back in Brazil playing for Unitri/Uberlandia's powerhouse and sharing the Center position with Estevam Ferreira Jr.

To me, it's a very strange situation. Seems like he got the hype he wanted going back to Brazil: he went from the fairly strong Italian second division to an awful team in his native country in a regional league, where he enchained some statistically monster games, making a lot of noise in the draft media through second-hand oppinions.

This is probably not true, but he might have decided to start practicing individually thinking about the draft and forget about more game appearances in the national league that could hurt his stock. He's a player that can shine in private workouts. Anyway, as I've said, it's just a thought, probably not true.

I have some news.

His team São Carlos left Nossa Liga because of money problems, and before that he had already left the team because of those problems.

Now he is working with the american treineer Robert Donewald. He is trainingl along with the C Morro, someone that have never heard anything before but is also practicing to go to try enter the league. Now he is just practicing and probably won´t play until the draft. He is scheduled to go to USA in March.

Here is the link with those infos and much more, but i´m a lazy person to translate everything.

Adding some more info about Marquinhos, he is going to Cleveland in march, to begin his preparation for the draft at the Speed Strenght Gym.
He has signed with Michael Coyne and is currently training with Donewald.
The article also says he should be a top 30 pick in next June's draft.

[Rodger]

I will definitely be able to get in there and watch him train at Speed Strength, so we'll have him covered for the draft...

Any word on this kid yet?
He was suposed to begin his training for the draft in Cleveland in late march.
Does anyone know if he arrived?
????????
