Class of 2024 PF/C Petar Majstorovic (Serbia) SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (8/16/24)

Former SU Chancellor "chancy" Nancy doesn't appreciate it.

I’m glad he looks heavier than Marek in his senior season

Serbian? I'll take him!

Based on his country and the fact he signed with Syracuse I feel confident in saying he's like Jokic but better.

For some reason I don’t think this Nancy can suck as much as THAT Nancy.

I like that he appears to have some muscle and strength already.

I like that is appears he is not afraid of contact and already plays physical.

I like that it appears he really understands the game and has a high hoops IQ.

It looks like he is a lot better prepared for college ball than our typical incoming HS recruit, even if he played for a fancy prep school.

He isn’t perfect. I see he gets in foul trouble sometimes. I don’t think he will ever be much of a shot blocker.

In a video I saw, it sounded like he speaks French already. Fluently.

Not sure how his English is. Might be very spotty. But he is European and I suspect if he doesn’t speak it well now, he will in a few months.

Welcome Petar.

So this kid will be on next year's team? Does this affect any of our other 2025 targets at all?

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

I’ve never actually scored in a Nancy before. Unless you count a good Nancy drew book.

This is a solid pickup at this stage of the game. Looks like he’s got a lot of potential for growth on the floor. Already athletic for his size and good footwork. One overlooked thing with bigs is he gets the ball and goes up to the rim. Doesn’t take an extra bounce or a fake that doesn’t fake anyone and then loses the ball. Gets the pass and goes up to the rim.

I think it will impact them positively, is he'll help contribute to team success, it makes Syracuse a more attractive option for young players looking to come here to be part of something good.

Interesting

Did you miss the other thread in the main forum where Dasher and others have been hinting since June about us possibly adding an international man of mystery this summer? others said he was from Serbia. Woohoo! Glad it finally got it done. And thanks to Dasher, Jake and others for the info.

Love seeing a pickup like this. Bet he will be a great, physical practice player while he adapts to college basketball. Also think he’ll be the type that doesn’t play for five games, then comes in against Duke or Pitt and plays 20 minutes and contributes.

Couldnt give this my full attention so correct me if i misheard, but i think Mccallister said he thinks the plan is to red shirt or have a red shirt type of season.

Does anyone know if that’s true? I was getting the impression the staff thinks he’ll play this year.

 

[Cuse12]

Different program then we were, I like it

He said If we stay healthy and all goes to plan he should have a redshirt like year but if not he is the type of player who would be ready to play right away vs say some late portal addition.

But in fairness, Mine also admitted that he's just looking at highlight clips, I didn't have visibility into the level of time, ready this kid is to contribute right away, etc I think he was just talking in generalities.

As in, it's logical to respect that he wouldn't play a big role, but who knows?

 

[Reilly35]

I have not read all the posts but how the heck did this happen. Who's recruiting over there!?

 

[orangefog]

Wow, if THIS guy is taking up the 12th seat...WE'RE GOOD. I would love to fill all 13 spots on a roster, but it is so hard to do that in the age of free movement and NIL. To have this young guy with his skills and IQ is huge. If we don't have to play him, we are going to be really good. This kid will push all the other centers and big forwards to be better.

 

[Sherman20]

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

I love it! The AO-Rick Jackson tandem was unstoppable in 2009-10.

Reminds me of the Clemson center-forward Last season, PJ Hall (who was a beast).
