He's a 6-8 forward, his other offer is FGCU - he is a teammate of Jayden Hodgson & Koch Bar at Florida's Arlington County Day School
He is oroginally from Bosnia but has played as an amateur with the Italian professional team Basket Rimini

He was playing AAU with a team last week in the HoopSeen Atlanta Jam
and got a decent writeup

I saw Damir Hadzic play in the Tournament of Champions at Washington High School last November. He is a 6'9" slender kid from Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina who played at a national sports academy in Bosnia before he was noticed and given a scholarship to attend Arlington Country Day. He played quite a bit as a reserve in the games I saw, and was the main backup post player to Koch Bar for the entire season. No doubt he'll see a lot more playing time next season with Bar gone.
From what I saw of him, he possesses good basketball skills and instincts, and is pretty athletic, though needs to put on muscle and get a lot stronger. He is a pretty good 3-point shooter, too.


There are a couple pictures of him in this link. He is #21-

By the way, though I can't find any report of it now, Damir was recognized as one of the top players in the Washington Tournament of Champions-

He turns 19 in just a couple weeks (May 12, 1997), and has played internationally on both the FIBA-Bosnian U16 team (back in 2013) and the Bosnian U18 team the past two summers.
He will also be playing with their U19's this summer - LINK
Here's some video - and in case you can't figure it out - the links are hidden in the B-logos - just click on them above


As with many of our other international recruits...Drew Adams and his connections thru his father
and the Indiana AAU team & the A-Hope have resulted in many of our successes so far...

"stock risers" in Florida's Class of 2017 - Damir getting noticed

I kinda suspected we'd be seeing this - a nice report on Damir Hadzic, one of our 2017 offers, playing this July's AAU circuit...

well, he's playing so well, that he's starting to get really high level attention.
Hope he still covets his Bradley offer and would love to still see him land here.
He still mentions his Bradley & FGCU offers..

Bradley 2017 recruiting target Damir Hadzic (has been offered by Bradley) has transferred high schools..
he was at Jacksonville, Florida's Arlington Country Day where Koch Bar was...
he has now transferred to Conrad Academy in Orlando, FL.
Also, ACD's other top player, Luguentz Dort also transferred to Conrad and one other "key transfer" is that their head coach last year at ACD now also is at Conrad.
