NORMAN—It's been a wild summer for Hannes Polla.
Polla bounced from his native Finland to Romania where he represented his country in the FIBA U20 European Division B Championship to Oklahoma, where he's a freshman for the Sooners' men's basketball team.
But after just eight days getting settled into his new home and meeting many of his teammates for the first time, Polla will hit the air again.
Polla and the Sooners leave Thursday for an 11-day trip to New Zealand and Australia and Polla couldn't be happier.
“I think I should probably get used to that because I'm going to play this game as a profession,” Polla said matter-of-factly.
