Recruiting insider “not banking” on Zvonimir Ivisic playing at Kentucky

Recruiting insider Travis Branham of 247Sports doesn’t sound confident in Zvonimir Ivisic playing college basketball at Kentucky.

On a recent edition of the “Sources Say Podcast” Branham gave his thoughts on Ivisic.

Here is an excerpt of those comments via Kentucky Sports Radio:




“To be honest, I’m not banking on him being on this roster next year,” he told KSR on the Sources Say Podcast. “I think it’s a very longshot bet.”

Now over a month following his announced addition, the holdup starts with the school’s English proficiency requirements. Ivisic, who speaks four languages, has submitted two language exams for qualification. Those results have not been approved by the university.

And until he can get admitted into school, he can’t apply for a student visa to make a move to the United States.

Those are the basics, details below the surface a bit murky from there.


“As you’ve very well covered at this point, there has been a lot going on behind the scenes and I think there is probably more going on behind the scenes that we don’t know,” Branham added. “It’s not as clean, cut-and-dry as to why he’s not coming. Maybe they connect on a Hail Mary and he does end up at Kentucky, but at this point — I won’t disclose all of the details of it — but I’d be shocked if he actually ends up here.”
