Le’Anthony Reasnover:
“After conversations with Coach Pekka, I knew Kuopio would be a great fit for myself! I would describe myself as tough, a leader, a playmaker, team-oriented, all-around talent! I bring to the team a championship mentality, high expectations and high performance.
“I’m learning more about Finland day by day, I have a lot of Google facts and have watched videos about Kuopio. I’m excited to come to Finland to learn on and off the field and about the country! I have big expectations! Just to get better every single day with my teammates and achieve the goals we set to achieve!”
