HENRY Suico is going from Espana to Spain.
The 6-foot-1 playmaker has decommitted from University of Santo Tomas to pursue his basketball dreams overseas in joining Zentro Basket.
Suico confirmed the development to SPIN.ph on Wednesday.
The Mandaue City native spent the past month in Madrid, Spain for a two-week training camp which was previously attended by NBA star Luka Doncic.
"Supposedly training lang talaga and no other intentions. But coach Luis Guil and the Zentro coaches saw me play and they gave me a offer," said Suico.
Guil is a Spanish coach who also serves as deputy for Real Madrid Baloncesto.
Curiously, he also coached Kiefer Ravena when the Filipino guard joined the Shiga Lakes in the Japan B.League back in 2021.
From Eagle to Tiger, no more
Suico was one of the top performers for Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu in its CESAFI title run last season.
