TheKamdyMan Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 So Dusan Ristic, a 7'0'' center from Serbia just transferred in to start at Sunrise Christian Academy in Kansas. He is THE REAL DEAL. Im talking first round projection in 2015 talk. Im sure he will probably go to a big time program but if there were ever a guy NU needed to get over the hump it is him. Hopefully Pinder can be a mouse in his ear. Quote
HuskerCager Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 I have to admit I am a little clueless about prep schools. Seems like Sunrise Academy was a school I never heard of until a couple of years ago. I wonder what are the odds of us having a prep school like that in the state of Nebraska some day? Quote
ShortDust Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 You think Harriman will be down there pretty quick to get on him? Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 You think Harriman will be down there pretty quick to get on him? I'd hope a coach would be at his game tonight in Ohio lol. He is literally the guy that not only gets NU to the tournament but wins a game. Quote
ShortDust Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 These are the ones we get in on early and a big program comes in and takes them. Don't wanna get my hopes up Quote
FredsSlacks Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 wait. wait. did you say 7'0 center from serbia? hhcmatt 1 Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 wait. wait. did you say 7'0 center from serbia? Yes only this one is already projected as a first round draft pick by experts. Quote

throwback Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 I'm probably not remembering it correctly, but doesn't Harriman have some sort of relationship with the Sunrise coaches? Isn't that part of the reason why Pinder is there? Quote
49r Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 Weaknesses:-Below average athlete. Lacks quickness and explosiveness in a serious way-Poor open floor speed-Struggles to finish around the rim in traffic due to limited leaping ability. Rarely dunks the ball-Effort level can be questionable at times. Not a fiery or intense personality. Lets smaller players take loose balls right out of his hands at times-Lacks toughness inside the paint. Doesn't seem to love contact-57% FT% at NIJT. 42% in Serbian league-Doesn't always show up in the big games Sounds like a hybrid between Serge and Diaz... Quote

Isn't that part of the reason why Pinder is there? Yes you are correct. I don't remember the exact connection but just remember that Harriman placed Pinder at Sunrise. Quote

Yet he feels good enough about him to project him the 30th pick in the 2015 draft and that guy knows every scout in the business. Quote
bobcat402 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 this guys report on his strengths and weakness, don't quite match up up me...and id take a kids like Diaz again in a minute. Quote
faqlsr Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DRJnMRhf0z0 Here is some video...I agree, he would be a major player. Quote
bobcat402 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 that ball fake at 1:05...oh my oh my Quote
uneblinstu Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 He's somewhere in between Diaz and Maric... Quote
doc1394 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 That video makes me a lot more excited about this player than that scouting report Quote
bigred4 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 That was really impressive. Showed good athleticism and used both hands really well. Looked a lot more explosive than Diaz. Not sure if we have a chance, but hopefully we have an in with him since he is going to Sunrise Christian Quote
TheKamdyMan Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Posted January 20, 2014 If Pusica and Ristic became a package deal I would gladly accept that deal as they both played in Serbia together and now Sunrise. Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Three questions, 1) He is a 2014 player correct? 2) Will we need to keep Voochie so he can translate and 3) If we cut A fellow countryman do he/they still come? bobcat402 1 Quote
Hooper Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Damn good looking player. I too would take Pusica and Ristic as a package deal. Hell yes. Quote
huskerbaseball13 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 So Dusan Ristic, a 7'0'' center from Serbia just transferred in to start at Sunrise Christian Academy in Kansas. He is THE REAL DEAL. Im talking first round projection in 2015 talk. Im sure he will probably go to a big time program but if there were ever a guy NU needed to get over the hump it is him. Hopefully Pinder can be a mouse in his ear. KamdyMan...not that you would need to, but have you alerted the coaching staff? I'm sure they are well aware...but just in case.... Quote
GoBigRed Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Maybe THIS is why Miles has kept Sergej around! Quote
