Inbe MLP Academics Heidelberg has made the decision: the sporting director Alex Vogel remains loyal to the club by 2028. This makes a strong sign to continue the positive trend in the club. The MLP Academics reported this on their website and thus confirmed an important course for the coming years. Vogel returned to the club four years ago, after he had an impressive career in various functions, from a sporty consultant to the sports planner to the sporting director.
The MLP Academics have lived through some ups and downs in recent years. The remarkable moments include early relegation in the premiere season and the surprising achievement of the BBL semi-final in the past season. Vogel sees it as his task to create the prerequisites for a successful season and to achieve encouraging results again. In his obligations, he demonstrated a good knack and brought players into the team with a lot of potential from smaller leagues, including the Austrian Michael Weathers and the Belgian Osun Osunniyi. The commitment of rookies such as DJ Horne and O’Brien, which come directly from the college, also shows his ambitious approach for the squad.
squad change and future prospects

However, there are also personnel changes: Bakary Dibba leaves the MLP Academics after one year and pulls its exit option.

In addition, Ryan Mikesell, former captain of the team, changes to the London Lions, where he plays both in the Eurocup and in the local league.
Despite these departures, DJ remains, who has the second best scorer of the past season with 14.8 points. Horne describes his time in Heidelberg as positive and is looking forward to the coming season. The squad for the next game includes well -known faces such as Niklas Würzner, Dominic Vengert and Paul Zipser, while Kevin McClain is on board who moves from the Gießen 46ers to Heidelberg. As a former player, McClain achieved solid 12.7 points last season and is praised by Vogel as an underestimated passer and defensive player.
