French Basketball Star's US College Journey

Andy Sigiscar, a 20-year-old French basketball player, embarked on a new journey in June 2024, leaving Orleans for Tarleton State University in Texas. Despite his lack of American experience and limited English, he chose Tarleton over other offers, drawn by their strong program and welcoming atmosphere. Coach Billy Gillispie discovered him on YouTube and convinced him to join the team. Sigiscar, who played professionally in France, finds American college ball more physically demanding, which he believes will better prepare him for a professional career in the NBA or Europes top leagues. He also has a backup plan to start a custom jewelry business. Despite initial homesickness, Sigiscar has settled in well, excelling on the court and in his sports management studies.
