The Rhine River Rhinos are bolstering their roster for the new season with one of the top young players from U.S. college sports. Jake Eastwood is transferring from Auburn University to Wiesbaden.

Shortly after the end of the past season, the Rhine River Rhinos have announced their first roster changes for the upcoming season. With Nico Dreimüller, Hannah Dodd, and Nicola Damiano, three key figures are taking on new roles within the club: two are leaving the Rhinos, and one is moving to the coaching staff. All three have shaped the team both on and off the court in recent years and have contributed significantly to its development.

In the first semifinal of the playoffs, the Rhinos faced off against RSV Lahn-Dill on the road. There, the Rhinos suffered a narrow 48–54 loss, even though the Wiesbaden team had previously won there in the regular season. The rematch was then set for Wiesbaden. The Rhinos edged out a 56–45 victory, setting the stage for the decisive third game in Wiesbaden. But less than 24 hours after the home win, the Rhinos’ luck ran out and they lost to RSV Lahn-Dill 52–62. That was the end of all hopes of reaching the German Championship final. Now the season is over, and in Wiesbaden, planning can begin for the new season, which starts in the fall.
