He was a Breakers Academy player and grew up on Aucklands North Shore, close to the Breakers base but holds a UK passport so may even end up in Europe.
I would say that would be further down the road after a stint in the NBL polishing his game.

Well Ben Allen is IN the NBL. Not sure about "playing" in the NBL though. He averages 3.6 minutes per game over 14 games this season.

"Rob Loe is good enough to play in the NBL and probably not good enough to go to Europe."

The majority of leagues in Europe aren't as good as the NBL, do you mean not good enough for the Euroleague etc?

I think the Breakers will make every effort to bring Loe in, including not re-signing Gary Wilkinson, which is a big sacrifice because Loe has a lot of work to do to be as good as Big Red.

Of course, if that extra room allows them to sign Penney and Jackson I'm sure they'll be ok!

He surely won't be playing in Woolongong. Wherever the fuck that is.

His best college game ever today! ups to him
but still a long road ahead

Really nice player.

Was one of the top prospects of the FIBA U/19 WC 2009.

Had some major D1s lined up - including Pitt (Dixon took a visit to NZ to see Loe and found Steven Adams). SLU were nice this year though being ranked.

Loe probably didnt put up the numbers many expected.

I thought the death of Rick Majerus really delayed/hindered his development.

He will suit the Breakers offence perfectly. Very similar game to Wilkinson!
Will enjoy that 5 spot with the opportunity to pop out and shoot from the perimeter

I agree with the comments that he is still raw and needs room to improve.

He won't set the league on fire overnight but certainly wouldn't look out of place in the NBL.

Richard Clarke (NZ Breakers GM) has confirmed that the Breakers will be pursuing Rob Loe when they are able to (as he's currently playing NCAA he cannot yet be approached).
Clarke has also said that Kirk Penney will probably not be back next season although it is likely he will be back just a little further down the road.
The Breakers also have not yet formally approached Cedric Jackson about a possible return although several players are in contact with him.

Tom Abercrombie is expected to test the water in Europe in this offseason so is not a certainty to return.

Staying.

Webster, TeRangi, Corletto, Vukona, Pledger

Leaving.

Bruton

Questionable.

Abercrombie, Wilkinson, Johnson, Frank

Cody Ellis hasn't exactly set the league on fire yet either.

"Players coming back from College aren't choosing to play here in the NBL - they come here because they aren't good enough for Europe or the NBA."

who killed JFK?

I don't know anything other than I've read on here about Rob Lowe but if Breakers want him and its am issue of $ then why would they re-sign Corey Webster?

I'm over him, he is your classic young player that choc full of talent and doesn't deliver. Surely he has already peaked and he looks so lazy on the court.

If Webster gets a new contract will that be because he knows the systems and players and they don't want to feel they wasted their efforts on him or will he keep getting contracts due to his potential?

At this point of time I'd put Cadee, Tomlinson, Demos and Norton ahead of Webster and I'm not sure anyone thought that before the season started

I can tell you on excellent authority that Rob will not play NBL any time soon. I am unsure what volume of Billikens games people here have watched, but I can tell you, he is going to a good European League at worst.

Believe he could be suiting up in the NZ NBL for a few games before the World Cup, and then it'll depend on how many teams' interest he has piqued. But Europe is likely the go.
