I just saw some clips of him, looks like a very athletic big. Welcome aboard!

whoa. when's the last time we had a big man with footwork like that as a freshman? This could be a HUGE addition. Pleasantly surprised.

 

[dollarbill44]

His FT % certainly checks out.

J/k. His highlights look good.

 

[shermstheman]

My expert evaluation is that he’s played in a lot of empty gyms.

 

[walsh2012]

Love this - we desperately needed big man depth

 

[pearl31]

really like the hook/baby hook he seems to utilize sometimes

His game around the rim especially with all of the footwork kind of reminds me of Otis Hill. He certainly has a lot of moves. Hard to believe he’s a freshman. I think he’s gonna be good and might steal some playing time.

Red wants more low post play that made SU a very successful program for the glory years. We will see so much more of it next couple years. The tempo will still be pushed but a lot of passes into the low block plays will be happening

Well, “Majstorovic had a season-high 22 points against Nancy.” So that’s good, right? I mean Nancy is difficult to score on?

Nice to see us recruit a big we aren’t worried can’t make a layup. Kid is also athletic and coordinated and seems to have some basketball instincts. Showed some legitimate post moves and also passing skills. Pretty excited about this pick up and wondering if we somehow found a diamond in the rough. Have to give the coaching staff credit for finding this kid.

 

[SWC75]

I saw everything I wanted to see.

A little info nobody has put in the thread yet.

Majstorovic was Born in July 2005, so he just turned 19. He's been playing in the French U21 league since the 2021-2022 season at 16 years old.

He's like a senior transfer from a D1 program that has 4 years of eligibility left.

I like it, solid looking addition.



Payside knew weeks ago of Petar.

nancy is a eurpoean 6 so a syracuse 10

 

[Cuse181]

6’8 or 6’9!???

 

[RF2044]

Holy s%^& -- this kid has some low post moves, and great feel.

Runs the floor very well. He'll be the best low post scorer we've had since... Arinze?

It looked like he can actually put the ball on the floor and drive to the hoop. Shades of the DC, Billy and Wallace years, and can pass a bit.

Any estimate on weight? Looks ~230 to me.

I've had Nancy shut me out more than once.

I’m glad Red’s in command, a couple years ago we would of been done recruiting for the year and would of missed out on this gem. He’s got a nice polished skillset for someone who has 4 years of eligibility remaining.
