Class of 2026 SG Mark Morano Mahmutovič (Slovenia) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/6/26)

[Melancer46]

Just needs to be able to get his shot off better than Betsey could. Then use it to vary his game.

He seems to have a high, quick release

 

[Scotch]

Hearing that we beat out some other big (state) schools for Morano

Based on his profile that would make a ton of sense. LOVE this pickup.

So much Drazen Petrovic in MMM.

 

[JarHeadJim]

Huge upgrade over Womack

 

[Orangezoo]

Ok so find our top 7- 8 to be the guys who can compete for minutes or a starting spot is what I was hoping for. Right now we have 3 based on the tea leaves with Moreno, Kiyan and Doty. Need 4 more and then the rest are bench (.5) pieces which starts with Folefac and. Thus 3/7 for the key guys 1/4 for the deeper bench and then 1 prospect in Moesch. All of this being assumed of course.

I would have been fine if he was older like 19/20 as I'd figure he'd be more ready to contribute Day 1.

Not sure how much of an instant impact he will have, time will tell.

 

[rrlbees]

Now you need a point guard who can drive and kick. He’s the kind of player teammates need to learn how to get and find him for shots. He won’t do it on his own. He’s not an iso player.

I don’t know. Your right in what you say and he isn’t a pure iso guy, thos highlights above show his having a good handle and making iso moves to make his own space and get into the lane for short jumpers.

We don't speak his name.

Actually……it could be a Dan Hurley tattoo. Same difference….

Appears per one article he is 19. If Givony is high on this kid I’ll take that over worry on his age. He’s not a beanpole and looks pretty physically mature much like some of the older kids that come over.

 

[rocklloyd]

How will this work? Him and kiyan split time?

 

[OrangeinNH]

I believe he turned 19 in February. Will turn 20 mid season for us.

This kid is levels above where Anthony is right now.

Better player plays, that is how it better work.

Correct. His DOB is 2/5/07

 

[Orangezoo]

This kid is levels above where Anthony is right now.

He’s above Kiyan right now for sure. Kiyan puts in the work and commits himself and he can be a much better player than he was as a frosh and hopefully much better coaching is a big part of that. You always recruit over if you can especially on the guard/wing spots because those positions are easier to play different combinations.

 

[Nick44]

This guy might bring our collective FT% above 60%. No thanks.

You’re in luck. He’s 19.

 

[Dcuse]

I never joke.

Good thing because you're not funny.

 

[wiseman3]

YES. FEED ME ALL OF THE EURO RECRUITS.

This seems big time. Gmac!!

 

[Dcuse]

Love this. I am going to call him Mark.

 

[CU44SE]

VCU has no Slovenians on their roster. Neither does Siena.

But Penn State has two. So I am going to speculate this is Brunt at work. PSU probably was looking at Morano and Blunt suggested the staff look at his film.

Saw the top agent for Euro hoops prospects strongly recommends getting 2 rather than one from the same place. Says it makes the adjustment easier and more likely to succeed. PSU did this.

Don’t be surprised if we add another soon.

Thanks, was wondering if it was a potential GM candidate that pointed us this way. But what you explained makes sense

 

[Cuseloyal]

Love this. I am going to call him Mark.
