Much thanks to Jesse, founder and President of Medway Park Basketball program in the U.K. for his input on CIS Players in Europe (stay tuned for a more detailed bio for Jesse). One of the common misconceptions of CIS men's basketball is that players are limited in their career opportunities after eligibility expires. The growing ranks of CIS alumni in the European professional ranks dispells that notion with no less than 16 CIS alumni on Jesse's list of current players overseas:
