TOLEDO, Ohio – Former University of Toledo men's basketball center Luke Knapke (Maria Stein, Ohio) will enter the professional ranks after signing a contract with Hubo Limburg United in the Euromillions Basketball League. The EBL is the highest tier of professional basketball in Belgium.
"Playing professional basketball is something I've always dreamed of and it feels really good to have the opportunity to make that a reality," Knapke said. "I've heard great things about living in Belgium. It sounds like it would be relatively easy transition for me."
"I'm extremely happy for Luke to receive the chance to continue his playing career in Belgium," Head Coach Tod Kowalczyk said.
