Uros Plavsic commits to Tennessee

[VolDaddy61]

I just hope he can be granted immediate eligibility. Any chance he can?

I thought he redshirted last season, he'd have to sit another year ?

 

[SweetDaddy]

Sounds like a solid addition to me.

Hope he's eligible immediately.

 

[BruinVol]

Very possible.

Imo id say it's less than 50/50 he gets a waiver.

I'm hoping there is something that can help him get one that we don't know about it

 

[sport3500]

Sweet.

 

[sccshortstop]

That leaves one open spot in 2019-20 for Bone to return or to add another. If the latter, I hope it's a grad transfer and then we have two open spots still in 2020-21 (Keon and Springer?).

I THINK BONES GONE TOO

 

[firedog28]

50% chance he will play next season.

 

[jbr82]

Our front court is growing: 7-1 6-11 6-9 6-9 and what's ORN? 6-8 he's the little guy

The question is can they play?

Welcome to Tennessee Uros Plavsic Tennessee is finally getting some size

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Bit of a tongue twister it is.

Bob Kesling will butcher the hell out of his name

 

[Putbacks]

Maybe he'll stick to his first name only. Save his full name till Senior Night?

 

[illinoisvolfan1]

Boom?? Seems like it.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Boom I say!...Very excited to have this young man terrorizing the middle...He'll be a good player for us...We needed a big guy like him.

Tennessee has landed 7-foot-1 Uros Plavsic, a Arizona State transfer who was a redshirt last season. Plavsic is a native of Serbia who attended Hamilton Heights in Chattanooga will likely seek immediate eligibility from his transfer. “After spending a lot of time thinking and discussing with my closest ones, I realized that my future belongs to Tennessee,” Plavsic said in his tweet announcing his plans. Tennessee lost Grant Williams to the NBA draft officially on Friday morning when the two time league player of the year announced his decision to stay in the draft. If Plavsic is granted immediate eligibility then he will factor in the paint with DJ Burns, Zack Kent and John Fulkerson. Tennessee lost key post players in Williams and Kyle Alexander following a record setting year under Rick Barnes.

Serbian collusion, I like it.

[TNnative]

Please for the love of all things have bob say his name

Don't matter to me, I won't hear it.

 

[feathersax]

Serbian collusion, I like it.

Serbia is what once was a part of Yugoslavia. They've had some spectacular basketball teams for years. If Uros Plasvic is the next Vlade Divac, I'm good.

If he. Was that good, why would he be leaving Ariz. st. after a redshirt season? I would say it's just like Walker leaving here, CRB told him he's not going to get much playing time. Hopefully I'm wrong and this guy is better than Walker

 

[tbones0711]

Watching the highlights I could, it kind of irked me that he's a 7 footer that attempts so many layups. Dunk the ball!

Happy to have him on board, though. Always good to add size this late in the process. Hope he's added a lot of strength in college.

not sure how it converts to strength but he added 40 lbs. in his freshman, (redshirt) year.

 

[RollerVol]

Serb tough...

GO BIG ORANGE!

If I remember correctly, one of those countries, either Yugoslavia or one of the countries that was formerly part of it, had the only team that remotely gave the original Dream Team a game in the Olympics.

Serbians are damn tough

 

[pimo1]

His tape from HS is very limited but the tape of him on the Serbian team shows a guy more athletic than Bol Bol and if reports on his weight gain are true is a bit heavier than him 1 inch shorter 10ish pounds bigger.

Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia and Macedonia. Probably has produced more european players to the NBA and NCAA than all other countries combined. The Dre team played Croatia (Toni Kukoc) and yes they were the team the played them the closest if u call 30 points close. We didn't play Serbia as a team in Olympics until 2016 they only started competing as a separate country again in 2008.

Actually Yugoslavian participation in the Olympics is very interesting and you'd be surprised how much talent came from that region in its many flavors and permutations
There is a 90% chance if u were watching the news and say something about something blowing up I'm Europe on the late 80's thru the 90's it was happening in that region. Which makes it even more amazing.

You could build a really good Playoff roster from exclusively Slavs. Hell you could just with Slovenia and Croatia. That’d be like 3 All-Stars.
