    Bosnian guard Harun Zrno had an “outstanding” visit at Indiana during his first-ever trip to the United States.

    “[The] visit was outstanding,” the 6-foot-7, 205-pound Zrno told ZAGSBLOG after meeting with head coach Mike Woodson and the staff. “My first time in USA. Indiana is a school with lots of history and I was very impressed. My role would be to come in and play right away because of my experience. [The] coaching staff was amazing, they are a great group of people.”

    Asked what stood out on the visit, Zrno mentioned being in famed Assembly Hall.

    “That arena Indiana is playing at it stood out and [the] fans who are very passionate about the Hoosiers,” he said.

    The 6-foot-7, 20-year-old plays for Slavija Istocno Sarajevo in Bosnia’s Division I. He’s averaging 19.4 points, 3.8 assists and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 63% from the field and 47% from deep. He’s gone for 20+ twice this season.

    He also has upcoming visits slated for Wisconsin (Jan. 10), Creighton (Jan. 13) and Virginia (Jan. 15). He flies home to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina on Jan. 18 and hopes to decide soon thereafter.

    “I don’t have timetable for my decision, to be honest, but when I go back home on the 18th I will talk to my family and make decision within week or so,” he said.

    As for what skilset he’ll bring to college, Zrno said: “Everyone is looking at me as a shooter but I bring a lot more than just shooting the ball. I like to play defense hard, attack off the dribble and find my teammates for easy plays. I learned how to play with the ball and I like having the ball in my hands. Anything to do in order for my team to win the games.”
