UD, hereafter referred to as Safety School U., may have a Croatian sensation dumped on their doorsteps — left behind by the bluestockings over at Northwestern University.
From Sippin’ on Purple, a Northwestern blog:
Per Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune, Mislav Brzoja will not be attending Northwestern next year, as he was denied admission due to a “marginal test score”. And I suppose it must have been quite marginal, since Greenstein reported a few weeks back that Brzoja had a 4.0 GPA as a high school senior. Brzoja will instead attend Dayton.
“Marginal test score” ? That might as well be the name of Dayton’s mascot. C’mon in, you crazy kid!
Of course, there’s nothing official as of yet — no word as to whether or not Archie will go ahead and acquire Brzoja with his last remaining scholarship.
The 6’5″ shooting guard had outstanding offers from Marquette, Vanderbilt, LSU and Providence, among others.
I’m already picturing Mislav’s first day on UD’s bucolic campus: “I Mislav. I here because good school say no can come! Where can eat goulash?”
i will GLADLY take this pickup in june with an open scholarship….i hope thats not just my croatian heritage speaking.
Hopefully someone has taken him to the Amber Rose restaurant on Valley St. for some very good eastern European food. http://www.theamberrose.com
He can make layups right handed AND left handed.
Arch doesnt do sloppy seconds – have you seen his hot wife??? I bet we pass on Boris.
Archie said during the athletic tour it scares him only having 3 guards. All three can play the point though and stressed Sanford does not have good decision making. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if he commits. Just taking a longer process then usual.
He actually stressed that Stanford is not a good decision maker??? Wow!!!
Yes, but mentioned he was a good scorer. I am thinking he’ll play the 2. If we get MB then we’ll be good at guard. Archie also said he will slide Matt Derenbecker over to the 2 for help if we still have 3 guards.
