Article: Transfer Portal Target: California’s Andrej Stojakovic [Illinois]

Yes, absolutely!

 

Too late.

Any targets in Boston?

 

Looks like he would bring something a little different from what we had last season. From CBB Analytics:

vs Clayton

vs Martin - not in top 40 player comparisons
vs Richard - not in top 40 player comparisons

 

I realize this is more image than actual player profile, but he feels like a new version of Austin Rivers. That was a rather big pile of poo. Hopefully it will be better this time.

 

Saw an article stating we were not in his top 3. Move on to the next available player.

 

Signs with Illinois

 

Interesting recruiting plans at Illinois

Illinois men’s basketball built a European pro team in college hoops

Stojakovic, Ivisic, Ivisic, Petrovic, Mirkovic

 

Fun reply. Not quite the correct image, IMO. That is Tom from Risky Business.

I think the better symbol is this one:

 

He's young... has several years remaining. That is a plus. He was a good shooter in high school that means he's still raw in the college game, means his 3-pt stats should increase with proper coaching, another plus.

He has the genes/size so he's got the god given potential to excel in the right environment, and Gainesville is that place, IMHO... especially with coach Todd at the helm.

And all that makes him coachable which is what any good coach worth their salt would love to have on their team.

Academics are great at the University of Florida, so that's good news for The Gators, now it's all up to the mutual understanding... can the coach and pupil get a deal done? We shall see.

Coach Todd has proven to be a winner (National Championship Winning college Basketball coach) and I just hope this kid wants to win in Gainesville with Golden.

 

When I think about their plans to build a European minor-league team of the highest order but in the US and at the major college level, I get a feeling of "ick".


Or is it "_ic"?

 

You're a little behind Rick, he's already signed with Illinois

 

You sound like my dad, he said when he was shipping out to the V-day Invasion with Douglas MacArthur in the second WW, they got loaded on trains and traveled across the nation. One of the stops was Chicago, where they would call out names to board the train. he said he never heard so many “ice” in his life, then would chuckle. I guess a lot of Eastern Europeans have always come to Chicago. Stokavic is coming home like Walter, I guess, LOL

 

Just after he thought that he blew it going to Harvard and would "settle" for Illinois.
