Men's Basketball
Alfonso Reyes
Hometown: Madrid, Spain
Previous Schools: ESIC University
Club: ADC Boadilla
Height: 6'6"
Position: Power/Small Forward
Reyes, “I'm grateful for this chance to play overseas at Capilano University. It’s a great opportunity to develop my game and reach my true potential with a very good sports/academic program. It will get me out of my comfort zone as well. I'm excited to win as much as possible with my team, and grow as a player and person."
Coach Klim, “We are thrilled to welcome Alfonso Reyes Sanz to the Blues men's basketball program! Hailing from Spain and coming to us with professional league experience. Alfonso brings a wealth of knowledge, intensity, and competitive edge to our squad. His transition from the pro ranks overseas to the collegiate scene in Canada is something we are extremely excited about. Alfonso is known for his relentless work ethic, toughness, and high basketball IQ. He is a dynamic offensive player who can knock down shots from deep and fearlessly attack the rim with purpose. His skill set fits seamlessly with our style of play, and we fully expect him to be a go-to presence on both ends of the floor. Defensively, Alfonso brings a tenacious mindset and a strong physical presence. He can guard multiple positions and will be looked upon to lead by example with his intensity and commitment on the court. His leadership qualities and experience make him a key addition not only for what he’ll do in games, but also for the tone he’ll help set in practice and in the locker room. We’re proud to have Alfonso begin his next chapter with us at Capilano University. His journey from Spain to Canada is just beginning, and we can’t wait to see the impact he will make with the Blues. Welcome to the Blues family, Alfonso!”
Oliver Seto
Hometown: Vancouver, BC
Previous Schools: Sir Winston Churchill Secondary
Height: 5'11"
Position: Guard
Seto, “I’d like to thank Coaches TJ and Ross for such a warm welcome into the Blues family. I’m excited to further my studies while working within our team towards building upon this program’s success. I love the environment being fostered here, and I feel extremely fortunate to come into such a great group of guys. The biggest thanks go out to my family, friends, coaches and teammates whose time and efforts have allowed me to pursue my goals.”
Klim, “The Capilano Blues are excited to welcome Oliver Seto to the program—a dynamic and tenacious guard whose presence will immediately elevate the team’s tempo and intensity on both ends of the floor.
Though not the biggest player on the court, Oliver more than makes up for it with his grit, court awareness, and relentless work ethic. Oliver is a strong ball handler with a natural feel for pace and rhythm, enabling him to control the game's flow. His ability to push the tempo in transition and create quick offensive opportunities will be a key asset for the Blues this season. Whether it’s turning a defensive rebound into a fast break or finding teammates in stride with sharp, decisive passes, Oliver plays with a fast and fearless edge that keeps defenses on their heels.
Defensively, Oliver brings toughness and energy to the perimeter. He takes pride in locking down opposing guards, using his speed and anticipation to apply ball pressure and disrupt passing lanes. Oliver’s competitive drive ensures that he battles for every
possession, diving for loose balls and taking on bigger opponents without hesitation. What truly sets Oliver apart is his mentality—he's a hard worker, a student of the game, and a team-first player.
His physicality, combined with a high basketball IQ and a never-back-down attitude, makes him the kind of player every coach loves to have in the rotation.
Welcome to the Blues family, Oliver!”
