Hell yeah! Good way to start the day
Great to hear it's official. Hope there's no major issues getting him eligible. Can't help but be a little paranoid after Enes/with overseas prospects in general.
Oh boy!
Need to start having the conversation of where this team ranks, talent wise, among Cals teams.. because it's up there.

This is awesome......... and the fears of some that he might never get to play ala Kanter.. even if he is like that somehow, he'll make Bradshaw , Mitchell and Ugo that much better in practice and be another Cat in the NBA repping UK. But this time around, I think this foreigner will be able to play for us. doesnt seem like any Croatian team is trying to put the screws to him like Kanter's Turkey team was.
Now that we have him, and I imagine Cal intends to play him this year.. Kentucky needs to just tell the NCAA to deal with it, more or less. Deny everything and don't comply at all, just like Kansas, Duke and UNC did. Play this kid, because by the time the NCAA can even get around to looking into this, they might not have any power to do anything.

This guy is the perfect addition, IMO. He’s very skilled & moves extremely well for a 7-2 player & will provide more floor spacing & rim protection. Handles & passes very well for a big, too. We’ll be tough to defend with him & Mitchell on the floor, together. Interior passing with those two could be a thing of beauty.
But, his versatility will make him a great fit with all of our bigs. Looking forward to him playing with UGO & AB, as well. Definitely no shortage of post combinations we can roll out, now. He had a late 2nd round projection this past season, but, has all the tools to work his way into the lottery. All the pieces are there, now, for a special season.

Looks like he’s projected in 2nd round of NBA draft next year. #42 on one site, #48 on another. 👍🏻
This season right?
This sounds like good news, but I'm gonna temper my expectations.
Let’s let them play some games first but I like the roster a lot now.
I have visions of something between Larry Lentz and Art Laib. Nothing against them personally at all, just ability and overall contribution.
I’m going to hold my excitement until the NCAA clears him to play.
LET’S FREAKING GOOOOOOOOO!

Did anyone else read that statement with a Croatian accent?
That's kind of what I mean.. just from a "talent" perspective. Still could wind up being a bad team. But here in August (which I know doesn't mean zilch), this team is up there.
I also think we need to revisit the preseason ranking discussion. We got almost no bump from Tre committing, a forward which is a position we were lacking, and now we have a 7-2 center who, for nothing else, just provides some nice depth at center with game changing height. We go practically 3 deep at every position now. I know preseason polls are all just speculation, but I fail to see how Kentucky shouldn't be right there with KU and Duke now. I guess Mark Mitchell and Dajuan Harris are just too good to surpass...

My hope is he helps enough to win a title, but coming back next year can elevate him to the first round, or even lottery, and he returns. I do worry about him joining in August and adjusting to the college game, which is why I’m not sure if he can do enough this season to get drafted in the first round.
Then you got him, Somto, and possibly Reed, Adou to build around for next season.
But dreams like that hardly ever come to fruition anymore.
I guest he will be known as "Z". Hope by the end of season he will earn the " Big Z"
Hell of a pick up - dudes tape looks ridiculous. LFG
Do you guys know why Ivisic shoots so many threes????

He has been playing in pro type games. Will be no,adjustment. He will be gone after this year.
I imagine his twin brother Tomislav will also want to come with him.
The Z-Man!!

Top European prospect Ivisic heading to Kentucky
Zvonimir Ivisic, who turns 20 next week and has already entered and withdrawn from the NBA draft twice, announced his commitment to Kentucky on Tuesday.
"The best part of waking up, is an overnight commitment from a 7-foot-2 center."
It sure beats the crap out of Folgers!

You’re showing our age lol. Youngsters on here won’t get that reference."The best part of waking up, is an overnight commitment from a 7-foot-2 center."

Partial? I'm full on Daffy Duck over here.Partial Chubby!!
It would really be something to have his twin come too. It would be the Zonnie and Tommie show.
