JL Bourg-en-Bresse signs top French recruit Hugo Robineau, recent EuroCup winner. The combo guard French player Hugo Robineau (26 years, 1.92 m) has signed a two-year contract with JL Bourg. Welcome Hugo! For Bourg, the operation is significant: the French guard has come from a solid season with Boulazac, averaging 15 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 20 Betclic ÉLITE games. He is the third recruit signed by JL Bourg after Lionel Gaudoux and Tyson Walker. In a French market where locally formed players (JFL) capable of producing at a high level are rare, Robineau's arrival, the 13th best scorer in the Betclic ELITE, is a significant reinforcement for the Burgundy backcourt. Revenu in Betclic ÉLITE with the promoted Boulazac, the Choletais has confirmed that he can compete in the elite. His offensive performance, his ability to provoke, and his overall efficiency have made him one of the faces of the Périgord season. His spring has marked a turning point with a nice reward: elected Player of the Month of March 2026, a first distinction this season for him. He had collected 70% of the votes, ahead of Landers Nolley II, Élie Okobo, and Darius McGhee with his statistics on this period of 18.5 points per game for 20 average evaluation and notably a peak of 33 points and 35 evaluation against Mans. François Lamy, JL Bourg's sports director, on Hugo Robineau's arrival: « We try to maintain the thread of being a club that allows promising French players to reach their best level under the JL jersey, by taking responsibility. In this perspective, Hugo's signature for 2 seasons, with clauses that are now part of all contracts, is a real satisfaction. His offensive aggressiveness, his relevance in the game, and his ability to play with or without the ball, are elements transposable to a higher level. The backcourt of next season should be structured around a true dominant point guard and complete combo guards who can compose various options ». The trajectory of Robineau has, however, been brutally halted a few weeks ago. The player had been the victim of a fall against Dijon, on April 17, causing a physical problem in the knee and an unavailability, rendering his regular season compromised. This injury does not erase the rise of the former Choletais, but it has deprived Boulazac of its best scorer in a decisive period. At Bourg, Hugo Robineau will take a new step: that of the European scene. JL has officially pursued its adventure in EuroCup for the 2026-2027 season, after studying the Eur hypothesis.
