Adan martin coronado at HNK Branitelj (bosnia)

Transfermarkt (but no other source I've yet been able to find) says he's returned to Germany, joining TSV Ottersberg for 2013/14.

That team appears to have a player named Lord Hoopmann, which is obviously awesome and, from what I gather, the Germany's #4 brand of basketball apparel.

 

Google Translate: "Otter Mountain-

... ​

Although still lacking the passports of the two "U.S. Imports" Adan Coronado and Eishun Yoshida, but are Omer Aktas and the talented Obed Scholl Amoara (Werder Bremen U19) here."

It looks like Yoshida is Japanese, but played college ball at St. Leo's in the US.

 

Transfermarkt has him as "Adam Corando" -- he scored in his debut & thus far only game, a full 90 vs. 1.FC Egestorf on 9/15:

Snip:

“I was like: ‘Oh, where’s Azerbaijan?’” Coronado recalls when he learned AZAL, a team in Azerbaijan’s Premier League, was interested in signing him. “I went on Google and said: ‘Where’s this place at?!’ I saw it was under Turkey: ‘Oh, it’s a little further out from home. It’s way over the pond.’”

That Guardian article says he got to Europe through some sort of talent combine that picked a team and toured German lower division teams.

Those tours seem like rip-offs to me. But I guess Adan "made it."

 

In a general sense, having to pay to play is never a good thing. But for guys who are willing to take opportunities like this -- at small European clubs with limited resources -- they're probably at least as good a deal as a lot of US-based combines. There are also just guys who pack a bag and knock on doors, which can certainly work particularly if you're willing to play at a very low level and work your way up.

Of course, all of those opportunities only work for people who have the means (among other things).

Sometimes opportunity reaches out to talent. Other times, talent has to reach out. The marketplace is a tangled web...

 

Transfermarkt says he's out of contract as of January 1.
