Croatian big man Zvonimir Ivisic has been admitted to Kentucky and is set to arrive on campus soon.
The 7-foot-2 Ivisic has been admitted, a school spokesman confirmed to ZAGSBLOG, and Ivisic told ESPN’s Jonathan Givony he’s set to arrive on campus in the “next couple of days” ahead of Kentucky’s Pro Day Oct. 11. Ben Roberts first reported the development.
Ivisic, who committed in August, averaged 11.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.4 blocks in 19 minutes per game for Croatia in the recent FIBA U20 European Championship. “Super talented, unicorn, needs to get stronger, but talented,” one Division 1 assistant coach said. “At 7-foot-2, Ivisic is a formidable shot-blocking presence who can step out to the 3-point line and finish with authority around the basket,” ESPN’s Jonathan Givony wrote. “He brings excellent mobility for a player his height.” Kentucky lost big man Oscar Tshiebwe to the NBA Draft but added West Virginia transfer forward Tre Mitchell and brought in 7-2 freshman Aaron Bradshaw. Sophomore big man Ugonna Onyenso also returns.
