Rugby, football, basketball and handball: to meet the five promises of Sport Palois

And like these young steps of talent, the sports service did not want to wait more. The time has therefore come to do our first assessment and choose, Sport by sport, the one who deserves the honorary title of promise of the season.

Fabien Brau-Boirie, the clear blue of the Paloise section

This summer, except misery, Fabien Brau-Boirie will pass him partly with a blue jersey on his back. It will be either that of the U20 for a second world championship – he was outclasssed and holder with the Bleuets last year – in Italy, or that of the XV of France for the tour in New Zealand.

Announced as very promising, the 19 -year -old Bigourdan Center, often injured last season, is confirming his potential in Top 14 where he has not left the match sheets of the Paloise section for six games (including 5 tenure). “He has the technical and physical qualities to play at this level despite his young age,” said Sébastien Piquronies in early March.

Since then, the kid trained at Esca-Tournay agreement in the 65 before going through Tarbes and then rallying Pau in hopes 2nd year at 17, continues to dig his hole. Thanks in particular to his punch on the line of advantage, which allows him to pierce or pass his arms. If he considers that he has to impose his beautiful template (1.90m, 94kg) in defense, Fabien Brau-Boirie, capable of evolving in 12 as in 13, which has already been made to the section, which extended it until 2028.

Pathé Mboup, the offensive promise of Pau Fc

With 11 goals scored (9 in L2) in 32 games under the colors of Pau FC, Pathé Mboup has a superb first professional season in France. A real revenge after his failures in Belgium or at Olympique Lyonnais, where he had not managed to pass the CAP of the reserve.

At 21, the young Senegalese has a “big potential”, according to his coach Nicolas Usaï, who appreciates his versatility. Mboup is a real poison for the defenses of Ligue 2, but also a needy, “a very hard -working player who makes a lot of effort”. The striker trained in the Dakar Sacré-Coeur still has a lot of waste (checks, passes, shots, failed dribbles) in his game, which can be explained by his overflowing activity.

“These efforts can from time to time lead him to lack lucidity in front of the goal, on the last gesture,” said the technician, who saw his player flourish little by little in the Béarnais collective. Since his double in the Coupe de France against Bayonne, on November 16, the Senegalese scored 10 goals in 20 matches in all competitions.

Under contract until June 2027, Mboup should nevertheless attract the eye of many more upscale training.

Kévin Marsillon-Noléo, the interior of the Béarnais Elan which explodes

With thirteen matches completed with an assessment greater than 15 (for a record at 27 reached three times this year), Kévin Marsillon-Noléo quickly joined the Elan’s collective, confirming the potential that has been germinating for two seasons in Denain, already in Pro B. Before the big sprained an ankle requiring an operation, which forced it, on April 11, to have to put a premature end in its season, 2.02m which celebrated its 23 years on May 6, was mainly used in post of winger at the Bulimic Relais Chris Ledlum.

Kévin Marsillon, in the major five 13 times out of 32, also found a nice field of expression as a pivot where his rebound sense (6.4 per game, 2nd total of the team, in addition to his 9 points on average) and his athletic qualities are major assets. More than encouraging when you know that this pivot position is slowly maturing with a climax rarely reached before 28-29 years.

Versatile interior par excellence, Marsillon, to whom a doctor had recommended to stop basketball when he was reached by Osgood-Schlatter’s disease during his adolescence, can also bring interesting minutes of the winger 3 where his faculty to draw behind the three-point line is not to be neglected even if his margin of progression in this sector (25 % of success) is still enormous. So much the better for Elan with whom he is always under contract.

Marine Kazmierzcak-Douet, the nugget of Lionsoises

At the Lons section Paloise Rugby Female, a name emerges this season in Elite 2: Marine Kazmierzcak-Douet and its 18 years tumble with indisputable qualities at its 2nd line post (1.85m). If her parents were not rugby at all, the girl followed her brother Simon’s footsteps by shoeing the crampons at 14 in the long bridge jersey. More than a discovery, a revelation for Marine, upgraded with the youngest and which, the following year, joined the hope pole of Pau and then spinning its wings in Lons.

There, with the youngest, she attracts looks and joined the top 50 elite young people. Since then, blue is part of her landscape and the 2023/24 season allows her to discover the Six Nations U18 festival, where she has three tenures, and to compete in a selection tournament with Wales.

This season is that of high level learning for her. She combines her schooling at the Immac and her objectives to integrate an engineering school with three training sessions per week and appearances in Elite 2. “She is a player in the making. She is very tall but manages to move forward and pass her arms, to play in defense, ”appreciates Elodie Poublan, manager of the Lons section Paloise, who has not finished savoring her progress. “Marine is still young, she will grow. »»

Romeo Kersauson, the future Grand Grand de Pau Billère

At a time when the poles of excellence are too often focused on the scale and the height, Emmanuel Aletto, head of the Billère training center, had a hollow nose when he saw a frail boy three years ago with the Brittany team in the intercomed final. “He was not yet 18, he had to do 1.75 m and it was a featherweight. But he was a captain, went to coal and he already had a great relationship with the pivot. ”

Romeo Kersauson, he made this apparent fragility a force: “I am aware of my corpulence. I will never be a big size, and that forces me to develop an atypical game. Disputing for opponents often surprised to see the guy escape their pincers to distill caviars or clean the skylight.

Not yet 21 years old (he will have them on July 7), the young Breton made a shattering entrance to the pros this season, prematurely called by rare fortuneanu to compensate for the absences of the two titular leaders, Doudeau and Kolakovic. In 18 matches, he slammed 42 goals (63 % success) and distributed 62 assists!

The one who was very young, to meet Nikola Karabatic several times, dreams of following the traces of his idol. The coach of the French team U21 Guillaume Joli has just put him down on his extended list to prepare the World Cup in Poland (June 18/29.
