For whatever reason????? Croatia has professional basketball clubs........would be surprised if this guy didnt play in a pro game or 2 across the pond. Considering Calipari........I'd almost bet on it........may be an NCAA issue if NCAA rules are even still a thing.

If he had been playing for Duke, North Carolina, or Kansas, he would have been cleared to play before the season even started.

You know, I was against Kentucky hiring Calipari, and I still do not care for him, but..........he has ran a very clean program there, and I believe he deserves some credit for that. Everybody knows that the world of college basketball recruiting is as crooked as a barrel of snakes, but so far Cal has been able to recruit without any sign of a problem.

You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.

But basketball in Central and Eastern Europe isn't that big of a deal. Some of the better players get together, put on an exhibition for the locals,...and maybe they get paid $150 or so to put on a little show. I don't believe that foreign players should be excluded from American Collegiate basketball because they accepted some pocket money along the way for entertaining a crowd of locals.

I’ve never heard of him but when I saw 7’ tall and from Croatia the first person that I thought of was Darko Milicic from Serbia.
The 7’ tall center and blown #2 or #3 pick by the Pistons.
I’m not a basketball fan but my grandfather was a Kentucky basketball fan. I root for Kentucky in March but don’t follow it otherwise.
