Title: 2012 G Mislav Brzoja
Post by: brewcity77 on April 24, 2012, 08:53:00 PM: Think the spelling is right...just saw on Twitter this guy is currently visiting Kentucky and plans to also visit Dayton and Marquette in the coming days. Don't know much, other than that he's 6'5". Anyone heard any more about this guy?

Post by: brewcity77 on April 24, 2012, 09:06:57 PM: Seems like he's a really good shooter. And if he comes, is it bad to want to nickname him Ambrosia? Like M. Brzoja...

Post by: brewcity77 on April 25, 2012, 05:55:12 AM: Man...we could really use someone with that kind of shooting touch. However, with Lockett reportedly headed here (taking Durley's spot), that'll mean someone else is headed out.

Though regardless who among the rumored names might go, Brzoja looks like a nice replacement for any of them. Good shooter, rebounder, passer...fits Buzz's switchable mode nice.

Agreed. What kind of competition is Brzoja playing against? At least Thomas has experience at the D-1 level, and is a proven shooter.

They are both unproven at a high level. Seems a crapshoot if between the two to get money.

Post by: brewcity77 on April 29, 2012, 02:22:01 PM: 6'5" and a shooter, Jake is here regardless. I think it's be worth taking a flier on a guy who can reportedly can play 1-3. He at least has interest from UK, even if there's no offer. Not a bad option if we don't have anyone else who wants it.

Post by: TedBaxter on April 29, 2012, 02:30:57 PM: Class balance is a big thing for me.

2014 - Otule, Gardner, Blue and J.Wilson
2015 - Anderson, Mayo, T.J. Taylor, D. Wilson
2016 - Steve Taylor, Jamal Ferguson
2017 - Deonte Burton, Duane Wilson, Jr.

If you add a player, I'd rather go with a frontcourt kid in the Burton/Wilson Jr. class and if they add a kid in the Taylor/Ferguson class, I'd take a D1 transfer who has 3 years left if you can get one of bank it. Thomas isn't listed since he'd back to a walk-on in the 2015 class.
