He has been performing very well. I think he is gonna be the player that is a lot better than we all expect
If he can acclimate to the physicality, he will be better than most expect. That is a big if though. He is older. So, he may mature in that area faster than a Freshman might. Has there been an official weight posted. He has wide shoulders. While he doesn’t look as imposing as Williams, he looks more defined and muscular than Ivisic.

Already shrunk an inch.

Watching his game closely I’m willing to bet on him being one of our very best next year next too Otega! I think Jelavich will be the steal of the class!

I think once everyone is on campus and he's battling every day against Garrison and Dioubate that will accelerate the physicality aspect faster for him hopefully, either way can't wait to see the growth and development of the whole team.If he can acclimate to the physicality, he will be better than most expect.

Me too, he is very fluid for a guy his size with promise on the perimeter as well. Pope scouts guys that are definitely modern skill sets.

Don't forget the adjustment to American cuisine.It seems that many of the foreign players have an adjustment period to American basketball.
Anything we get from Jelavic is a bonus for this roster.
I’ve seen the league be compared to a mid major conference and then to the MEAC which is one of lower D1 level so I honestly don’t know. But I will say this guy looks like he fight and be a little more aggressive than big Z wasI’m not going to get too hyped about this guy. I don’t know what the level of competition is like in the league he is playing in, and we were burned by Ivisic as a Freshman, so I am expecting him to be a 10-15 minute a game role player, playing behind our veteran frontcourt guys. If he gives us more and pushes some college Juniors and Sophomores to the bench, then good for him and good for us.
The best I could find (it was hard finding much) is FMP 86 Mega 81. That would be the 2nd loss by Mega and would put them out of the playoffs (if what I read was correct).So, is his team still alive?
Yup.Ive seen AJ listed at 6'11" 224lbs. I would not be surprised to see him listed on UK roster to start the season at 6'11" 234lbs along with Mo at 6'7" 225lbs. Either way we have a pretty solid rotation at the PF with Jelavic for scoring/shooting and Mo for defense/dirty work. Jayden gets backs to 100% we have him at 6'9" 235lbs, BG 6'11" 255lbs, MM 7'0" 240lbs and RP 7'1" 230lbs should be one of if not the best frontcourts in college basketball next year.
KSR had a writeup on the post season for Jelavic. He is out of one tourney and is down 0-1 in the 2nd / last chance tourney for them. If they lose tonight, the season is over for Jelavic and Mega team. FMP beat them 86-81 and they play FMP today/tonight.The only bracket I found still shows a game for Jelavic team on the 20th of May. There are different Mega BEMAX teams (one under 17) and such. I think they all are in different playoffs. So info is hard to get your brain wrapped around. I just hope he is done by end of May and that UK staff gets things completed now so he can be here with the team to bond. Do not need a guy not getting here till August. Other one is getting Jaden Quaintence here and rehabbing here with his teammates during the summer.
In his clips he has nice touch and is a pretty fluid athlete. He looks like the real deal to me. He'll get plenty of exposure to physical play during our practices.Watching his game closely I’m willing to bet on him being one of our very best next year next too Otega!

I'm looking for Kam Williams to break outAs far as exceeding expectations, I think Lowe is at the top of the list. Kind of an OO situation. That said, Jelavic is right there. He looks like he's gotten a touch more muscle on him than what most of his highlights show, too. Looking forward to seeing this dude in blue.
Might could. He's got the athletic tools and the shooting to do it. Only question I have is at his size, how does he respond to the physicality of the SEC and monster noncon bigs? We talk about him moving over to PF at times, but he might not be strong enough in his sophomore year to tangle with the biggest and baddest.I'm looking for Kam Williams to break out
Personally, I think he's more of a 2 or 3. But you are correct about adjusting to the physicality of the SEC. That's a concern for everyone other than Aberdeen and Mo Dioubate. Mentioning Dioubate, I expect him to turn some heads along with his grit and bully ball play. Sears, his Alabama teammate called him a skilled Dennis Rodman. I know that's lofty praise but I can see it.Might could. He's got the athletic tools and the shooting to do it.

I think he is a 3 and not a 4. He can even play 2 and guard 2's.Might could. He's got the athletic tools and the shooting to do it.
