LMBS supported former prospect David Simonovic in pursuing his career at a US university through personalized assistance from trusted intermediaries.
David Simonovic concluded his time in LMBS's youth academy by opting for an international turn. The young player is flying to the United States to join an American university and begin his collegiate season. His first game will be played in the early hours of Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
This trajectory differs from that of the majority of French athletes migrating across the Atlantic. In this specific case, the project was co-constructed in an original manner over the months. The Sarthe club wished to remain involved in this transition to ensure the experience would integrate best into the player's sports career.
The bridge between the parties was established by trusted intermediaries. The initiative was facilitated by the father of Terry Tarpey, a former LMBS player, as well as Paul Fortier. These contacts allowed for structuring exchanges with US university authorities while maintaining a direct line of communication with the local entourage.
The club continues to closely follow David Simonovic's beginnings in this new competition. This form of extended cooperation illustrates a modern approach to managing young talents within professional structures. It demonstrates that it is possible to prepare a move abroad without permanently severing the link with the organization of origin.
This transition is part of a logic of personal and sports development. By entering the NCAA system, the player is preparing to reconcile studies and a high level of performance. The club, in turn, takes advantage of these networks to enrich its contacts in international basketball.
