ok, i want to see what this dude looks like in a game. He has some speed and athleticism
What you've done most recently (in any pursuit) is generally a better indicator than what you did the year before (absent injury or other mitigating factors).
Mirkovic showed up in very solid shape, a lot better than Tomi last year.
Is he able to practice with the team yet?
I think the summer practice window is closed.
Once school starts he will be able to.
He will surprise many. He comes from a winning background. He’s going to be tough.
Pretty sure he's 19.
First man off the bench?
I may have missed it, but is he expected to have 4 years of eligibility?
What is the school starting date?
I think Mirko will be good this year, but after a summer with Fletch he’s going to be a monster. Good luck moving him off the block with those tree trunks under him.
25th.
Mirk looks like a load.. Hope they're talking agility training.
Certainly looks like he has long arms in that photo.
Mihailo update? I expect him to be a huge asset next season.
This. We struggled with teams that were really athletic in the paint. Our guys are tall, but by no means intimidating, which is the earmark of the European game. In the backcourt, dribble drive and dish/kick out has been an issue. Outside of Boswell, it's a complete wait and see if we'll be able the shut the water off consistently.
As we sit here in August, we're going to score a ton, but we're going to give up a ton. I think that's where the Iowa comp comes from.
Not that my opinion matters, but I am not a fan of building through the Baltics. It's not sustainable. You always want to have multiple pipelines and avenues, but it should be a nice mix.
Having Morez and Ty on this roster would have made a HUGE difference.
You mean THIS season?
