Uros Plavsic commits to Tennessee

[Freak]

There's another discussion thread here, but for those who may not check it, he has committed to Tennessee. He's a 7-foot center from Serbia who's transferring from Arizona State.



Go Vols!

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

Yes there’s a chance, but no guarantee.

If so do you believe he plays right away or does he need a lot of work? I guess what I’m asking is if he wasn’t a 7 footer would we be as excited about his basketball skills?

Bring him on down. Need all the size we can get. This basically knocks us out of the running for blackshear, correct?

Don’t think we were ever in that marathon.

 

[calban]

Sign him up.

 

[butchna]

Sounds like those saying this was contingent on Grant Williams final decision were dead on.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

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?).

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

We are considered a dark horse in it for KB. Still can take him if Bone stays in the draft.

Much like Memphis has been doing, UK (the perceived leader for KB) is still taking players and the idea of just being another guy may not appeal to guys like Blackshear and R. Tucker. It will be interesting to see where those actually land if they pull out of the draft.

I don’t think I can even say his name

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.

Loves the weight room. Meddy will create a beast.

Most everyone we sign needs a year or two before they're ready to help.

 

[GameTime]

Looking good on the inside baby...

 

[Voltopia]

Sweet. Can't coach height.

YourRoz Plovzitch I was told is how to pronounce it, I’d probably need a few drinks to get it right

EDIT: Proper pronunciation is Yur-Osh Paloff-cish after listening to him in an interview

Bit of a tongue twister it is.

 

[508mikey]

be nice if he plays the way Nikola Jokić does

Well no, if he was 6’4” we wouldn’t be excited...part of being a big man is being big.

 

[Zues1]

Oh baby ! This is the type player I've wanted for year's. Let's hope he is he real deal.

 

[firedog28]
