Crazy Mirkovic is only 17. He’s extremely skilled but the defense in the league he plays in would make Iowa look like Houston

So… did the kid we are waiting on to enter the portal win or lose last night? 😉

Adou Thiero is my guess- final answer, he’s the only one that seems to make sense of a huge get that the staff would feel good about, and he is slipping in draft mocks - at 6’8, but not a shooter or nor huge rebounder or shot blocker he might be a bit of a tweener for the NBA liking

But for us next year he would be huge- he was the one guy we couldn’t stop when we played them and his physicality, perimeter defense and ability to get to the rim is exactly what we will need next year at the PF spot. If we get any kind of decent SG and Sarr/portal wing, we’ll be a B1G title contender again and the type of team that can make a run

Are you thinking of a different player?

Mirkovic is 19 and the league he's been playing in is a top professional league (grown men) that's seen a lot of NBA talent come through it. Meaning younger players, I feel like the EuroLeague is where most ex-NBA guys end up, but this league is full of ex-college stars... they just played against a team with a guy who averaged 25ppg in the ACC a few years ago (Anthony Barber)

I've been looking at the board for a few days. I'm surprised that so many think Will Riley is coming back. Even if his measurements aren't the best, he reclassed to get the the NBA as soon as possible. He didn't have the best last game, but I don't see a scenario where he comes back to college. I think he will be a top 25 pick.

But if he stays another year he could still be a very young lottery pick.
