7’1” 240lb Uros Plavsic will be a Vol (reportedly)

[BruinVol]

Hard to make some of you guys happy....

A good idea would be to first let's see if the guy comes here, and if he is not the second coming of the player you want him to be, then bash him....

Give the kid a chance....

Wondering what post was bashing him?


I haven't seen anyone bashing him

 

[ATC_VOL]

Too many names I couldn't pronounce so I got confused. Lol

Did the same thing.

Seems like a good pick up.

 

[Roustabout]

Minimal height difference between this guy and alexander

He already looks bigger than Alexander in terms of girth.

 

[BruinVol]

He already looks bigger than Alexander in terms of girth.

No doubt there

 

[calban]

Thought it interesting that he was ranked right after Burns in the 2018 class.

2018 Top Center (BK) Recruits

Lol Changed after I posted the link.

 

[Roustabout]

He's in an Arizona State uniform while throwing up the Vol sign?

ASU uses this as the trident. Duh

Nah...no fun in that argument.
- totally not trollin Bruin prolly

No doubt it could be a stretch I agree. It just makes it's more likely that Hurley didn't see a high level career coming for this kid. We see assistant coaches hired a lot to get players to sign with schools so it's hard to know exactly what it means in this case

Yes, but those kids are most often 5*, sure-fire NBA draft picks. Plavsic was never that.

 

[OrangeMagic]

He's doing the Sun Devil pitchfork

That's a piss-poor pitchfork, It's better thinking he's in an Arizona State uniform flashing the Vol sign.

 

[livefaith]

Has anyone noticed that LiveFaithSports.com has him rated as a 5*, the number #2 Center, and #11 prospect overall?










There, that should fix the narrative around here. Let the natty talk begin.

 

[papatomany]

Len Kosmalski, Tom Boerwinkle, or Stevie Hamer. Roth was 6'11" iirc.

I think it would have to be either Kosmalski or Boerwinkle. Kosmalski was a better scorer, (he had a little jump hook that was hard to stop) but Boerwinkle rebounded a little better, and, as I remember it, was a great shot blocker, whereas Kosmalski was only an okay shot blocker. (And, as was noted by someone before, Boerwinkle averaged nearly 10 rebounds a game in his NBA career. Has nothing to do with who was the better college player, of course.)

Who was the #1 center? Another Barnes fail.

 

[Stoked]

Poor-man's Nikola Jokic? Another Serbian.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

But will he be the rim protector?


I doubt it. If he turns out to be as good as Alexander I'll be happy

Maybe not next year but by the time he’s done I think he can definitely match KA’s bpg

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Well exactly how do you know he's ahead of Kyle?

You do know this kid couldn't get on the floor at his school this year right ?

Uhm, he redshirted? Not like he was sitting there and coaches just opting not to play him.

 

[BruinVol]

Maybe not next year but by the time he’s done I think he can definitely match KA’s bpg

That's a bold statement on blocks.

I'd guess he can match or exceed all his other stats but won't come close to his rim protecting ability

 

[bleedingTNorange]

We don’t know that, have you seen him play?

Enough to see that he won’t fall over if the wind blows

 

[BruinVol]

The big question is can we get a ruling from the NCAA asap in order to make a choice which direction to go if a grad transfer is in the works.

If this guy is a no go I think we have to take a big. If he can play I could see looking for a pg

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I think he can be those things but if he was already there he would have played this past season and Hurley woudnt have essentially pushed him out the door by firing what got him to ASU

We’ve been over this, just because you redshirt doesn’t mean you suck.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

KA career 1.4bpg, betting Plavsic can exceed that...Grant Williams has exceeded that number.

Either way you go best available imo

Grant Williams is an darn good shot blocker


Where do williams and Alexander rank all time for us in blocks?

 

[BruinVol]

I think we are going to choosing from a nonimpact list anyway. More for depth purposes than anything else

Yup exactly

Both likely finish Top 5 I believe, largely due to both playing ton of minutes from Day 1
