BU recruit 2012- Matej Buovac- class of 2012

[Da Coach]

Bradley is reportedly recruiting a 6'6", 220 pound shooting guard Matej Buovac of the La Lumiere prep school in Laporte, Indiana. He is originally from Croatia, and is an exceptional outside shooter with NBA range.

Video- he is #20 in the dark blue uniforms shooting free throws at the beginning of the video. BTW, the point guard, #2, is former Central guard Bobo Drummond.-

Here - in the white #20 jersey, he nails a long three right away, just 10 seconds into this video...

Here is a tweet from Matej Buovac's coach at La Lumiere last Friday night-

and a tweet from a Purdue fan who follows the basketball team and writes a blog. He was watching the game-

BTW, I am hearing rumors that Matej Buovac has received an offer from Bradley and he really likes Bradley.

Is there anyone here who has seen this kid play or heard from someone who has seen him play? To me he seems to be quite similar to Milos, in that he's a 6'7" spot-up, 3-point specialist who isn't terribly athletic. I'd like to hear the opinion of someone who is familiar with him since it's hard to tell a lot about a kid from youtube videos.

I have spoken to someone who has seen him play. Where did you hear he was "not terribly athletic"? I have heard he is a pretty athletic kid, and would probably play for Geno right away.

the lure of possible immed playing time will likely be his deciding point

That's why I say it's hard to judge from youtube videos. From watching his videos, it doesn't appear that he's very fast or active. But it's such a small sample size and it's hard to judge anything from that. I like his 3 point shot because that's something we definitely need, but I'm worried about the defensive end. It is encouraging that he has played on the Croatian national team though, and however unlikely it may be, maybe he could help be a deciding factor for the other Croatian kid we are pursuing, Brzoja.

He appears to be very athletic to me and is built much better then Milos , he is a shooter which is what we need plus he is 6-5 which is also good.

I like our other options better. Although I am sure he can shoot.
