Top international point guard prospect led France during 2025 FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup
Talis Soulhac, one of the highest-rated U19 point guards in the world, has signed with Murray State men's basketball. He will join the Racers now that his club season with France's ADA Blois Basket 41 French ProB has concluded.
He joins fellow countrymen Roman Domon, Mathis Courbon and Jonas Boulefaa on the Racers' roster for 2026-27.
"Talis is an exceptional young point guard with a tremendous feel for the game and maturity well beyond his years," head coach Ryan Miller said. "He brings a high basketball IQ, outstanding playmaking ability and a competitive spirit that fits perfectly with the culture we are building at Murray State. His experience competing at a high level internationally and representing France has helped shape him into a poised leader who makes those around him better. We are excited to welcome Talis to Racer Nation and look forward to watching him continue to develop in our program."
After averaging 8.5 points and 2.9 assists in his first year, Soulhac had a career year in 2025-2026 with 12.2 points and 3.8 assists per game in league's regular season. He helped guide the team to a deep playoff run into the quarterfinals.
As a result of his standout year, he was named the Best Young Player in ELITE 2.
While representing Team France at the U19 World Cup in 2025, he helped guide France to a spot in the Round of 16 with 9.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists in six games played.
