Nella NCAA si lavora al recruiting per 365 giorni all’anno e anche col coronavirus non ci si ferma. Il numero di newcomer europei per la stagione 2020-21 cresce di settimana in settimana, anche se le dinamiche strane imposte dal virus in ambito reclutamento finiranno per ridurre il numero di volti nuovi dall’Europa rispetto al passato recente (l’anno scorso ci furono più di cento esordienti europei).
Al momento, il conto dei volti nuovi europei è a quota 69, di cui 35 in arrivo direttamente dal Vecchio Continente. Qui di seguito, il numero di giocatori per Paese di provenienza.
