RED ROO HALL OF FAME

Tot Jok

CONGRATULATIONS JBMS 2022 WINNER

Congratulations to the 2022 winner of the John Bewley Memorial Scholarship (JBMS) award, Mr.Tot Jok.

Tot has displayed all of the characteristics associated to meet the criteria for this amazing opportunity.

Buay Jok

” Product of Grace”

In this interview Buay Jok details his early life in Sudan and his growth, development and aspirations in Australia.

His philosophy on life of “Be uncomfortable on a daily basis” and his strong belief in himself and God demonstrates his attitude to life and sport.

Elijah Doul

At 6’7”, Elijah is the new prototype point guard. Handles, elite passing, speed, elevation and prodigious scoring capacity makes him a real handful for opposition guards.

It’s a scenario he has exploited to the benefit of his team many times.

Elijah is now a NBL1 Development player for the Dandenong Rangers

Yuot gai

Red Roo’s Yout Gai (YG) graduated from Abilene Christian University. Read more.”Courage and talent pay off for YG”

“Nothing is guaranteed anyone, at any level in life, other than the opportunity to excel, and that is what YG has at Abilene Christian,”remarked James Kerr, President of Red Roo Sport. “YG has, through his work, earned the respect of his teammates, the coaching staff, and everyone else connected to the program and the school. There is no greater achievement”, continues Mr. Kerr.

Teny Puot

LEADING THE WAY

Melbourne’s Teny Puot visibly supported the improvement of the South Sudanese National basketball in the recent round of 2023 World Cup Qualifiers.

Selected to don his familiar no. 0 jersey in pursuit of a 2023 World Cup berth, Puot unfortunately injured his elbow in the lead up.

COLLEGIATE PLAYERS

Michael Jok

Settling in to life in D2 after transferring from JUCO is exactly the challenging experience Michael Jok anticipated.

Any notion that his on-court success, exposure to leadership, or scholarship offer would create a soft landing were blown out playing limited minutes in the first games of the new season. “It’s definitely tough to go from top performer to being at the bottom of the pile again,” said Jok. “I worked hard at Dawson to establish myself and that resulted in me receiving the Minot State scholarship. But that’s just the beginning. Now I must establish myself here, with my teammates and more importantly, the coaching staff.”

Chris Davidson

Chris is an excitement machine. Able to use his athleticism on both ends of the court, Chris has the capacity to take over games through his offensive or defensive efforts.

As a committed team player, he will use his high basketball IQ to lift his team and capitalise on the opportunities his court vision detects.

The values he places on Education is driving him to make the most from his basketball career.

Justin Asi

An incredibly dynamic, and exciting, young prospect, Justin has the world at his feet. A tough competitor with lights out perimeter shooting who will also do the interior work on the boards. Able to dominate and take games away from opponents, this young man is going somewhere, given the right support and opportunities.

SOLOMON KUOL

Red Roo star, Solomon ‘Solo’ Kuol, has headed to Hill College in Hillsboro, Tx, to accept his scholarship offer.

The 6’7” wing was a hot item on April’s AAU’s Australia Elite USA College tour gathering serious interest from D1 programs.

With his length, shooting range and defensive capabilities, he made himself irresistible to the Texas Juco.

Lieb Yat

Congratulation to Lieb. His recent commitment to play for the University Of Southern Mississippi at the division one level is

another positive step in his pursuit of higher education. The Golden Eagles are extremely focused on qualifying for the NCAA March

Madness tournament in March of 2024. We wish the team nothing but the best for the 2023-2024 season. Well done Lieb Yat!

delang muon

Red Roo standout, Delang Muon, is turning heads in the Christmas lead up at Grace Baptist Academy in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The 6’8” Frankston native is dominating in early proceedings and grabbing the attention of multiple Colleges in the region. Having already received multiple full ride scholarship offers from some very highly rated JUCOs, Muon and his Head Coach, Brad Shauf, expect there’s more to come for the power forward.

Tessi Thong

Congratulations to Tessie Thong who has signed his letter of intent to play at Northwest University located in Powell, Wyoming.

Realizing a lifelong dream Tessie is more than prepared for the blessing this opportunity presents.

We would like to thank head coach Any Ward for trusting in Tessie and wish the Trappers all of the success that comes with good character, coachability and competitiveness. Well Done Tessie, the belief, and trust you have displayed over the last five years is in yourself and in Red Roo makes you truly deserving of this opportunity.

Kur Maler

6’8 Kur Maler from Melbourne, Australia has joined the Dawson Bucaneers

“Kur was the last piece we were looking for in our recruiting class,” shared Dawson Coach Joe Peterson. “We’ve been looking for another guy with size and length, but also with the ability to get up and down.

James Kerr commented ” We wish Kur Maler nothing but success as he enters this new chapter of his life. Go Bucs!”

Daniel Piech-Meat

RedRoo’s Daniel Piech-Meat fulfilling his dream in the US. With Daniel’s legendary work ethic the sky is the limit.

Daniel cites his faith and family as major influencers in his achievement. “They kept believing in me”, explains the Freshman of his large family. “Because of COVID I kind of gave up a little bit. I wasn’t playing basketball. But I kept my family around, kept going to church, kept praying. This helped me a lot. My mum, dad, brothers and sisters. All of them.”

For more insight on Danel see the Youtube Video

USA High school/preparatory school

Elijah Guer

Congratulations to Red Roo 6’1 Combination guard Elijah Guer who has committed to the Academy of Central Florida, USA.

At just fifteen years of age Elijah will continue his education and hardcourt development with an attitude of eager anticipation.

Understanding how important a change in environment can be to elevate one’s game we all look forward to watching the development

of this remarkable young talent. Seek the truth Elijah in everything you do, it will set you free.

Padiet Amum

6’7 Padiet Amum is a fifteen year old power forward to keep an eye on. His basketball IQ, and recent commitment to be all he can be, both on and off the court has awoken this young man.

A threat both in and out of the paint, Padiet has the ability to influence the outcome any game.

Padiet will be working harder than ever to achieve what he knows will be the opportunity to play at a higher level.

mangok LOk

At 6’8”(203cm) and wingspan of a young Australian Wedge Tail Eagle, Mangok is a young man truly capable of playing above the rim.

A “Problem” on the defence this impact player make a difference on both ends of the court. With numerous Australian AAU Championships and a New York Inner City High School Championship, to his credit this RIM Protector should have any amazing senior year in high school. We wish Mangok all the best with his time in Toronto, and thank Crestwood Prep for this amazing opportunity.

This life changing opportunity was afforded by Kuich’s hard work and dedication on the court.

We wish Kuich nothing but success in the classroom and on the court, this is a lifelong dream that has come true.

Thomas Duach

Congratulations to Thomas Duach who has accepted a student athlete scholarship to Baltimore City Community College. Basketball continues to teach Thomas how to develop his leadership skills both on and off the court.

Finding a way through traffic and a confidence in his shot making selection, his determination and basketball IQ, will continue to grow.We encourage Thomas to excel in the classroom, as well as on the court, this will provide every opportunity for a very bright future.

Daniel Gak

His competitive mindset and ability to play lock down defence has allowed him to be blessed with an opportunity to attend school and play basketball overseas. We wish Daniel all the best in the year ahead, and look forward to watching him develop both on and off the court, congratulations.

BANGUOT UZI

A young man with a bright future is the best way to describe Banguot. Long, athletic and able to cover both ends of the court effortlessly, this player loves the game. Dangerous from the three point arc, this player will make you pay if you do not close the space. Part of a 13-0 run, that netted two Championship tournament victories in Orlando, FL, Banguot is ready to move to the next level. A heartfelt thanks to Kennedy King College, in Chicago for this amazing opportunity. Play with confidence this season Uzi, you know exactly what it take to win, God Bless.
