2012 G Mislav Brzoja

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?

So, who's all leavin? Chernobyl revisited.

[brewcity77]

Seems like he's a really good shooter. And if he comes, is it bad to want to nickname him Ambrosia? Like M. Brzoja...

[Markusquette]

Here's a long highlight reel.  Looks like a great shooter indeed.

So now we're getting away from all the Jamals, Jamils, Jamails, etc, and going with guys with unpronounceable names?

[brewcity77]

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.

Looks like he visited Kentucky this week but didnt receive an offer yet. He plans on visiting Marquette and Dayton this week.

I'd rather give the scholarship to Jake Thomas for a year quite honestly.

I'd rather give the scholarship to Jake Thomas for a year quite honestly.

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.

[TedBaxter]

I don't want Buzz to take a player just to take a player.

[brewcity77]

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.

[TedBaxter]

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.
