Nemanja Mitrovic

I was just checking out the espn.com team page for the Pilots and it says they have signed Nemanja Mitrovic, a small forward out of Canada. I do not remember seeing any posts on here about him, so I did a quick search and nothing turned up. Does anyone know anything about this guy, espn gave him a rating of 40, which seems to be the lowest rating possible.

Mitrovic was signed in November. Here is a previous thread: http://pilotnation.net/pilot-basketball-f5/canadian-recruit-6-5-shooter-t398.htm

This guy is a bit of an unknown, but I remember Rev saying he was the best shooter he had seen in all of his recruiting... so it sounds like someone Rev really wanted.

It will be interesting to see who we sign in the spring...

From what Ive seen in the past from ESPN, they usually give a rating of 40 to prospects that they dont have a scouting report on and most international players have that rating.

I tried to dig up some info, but did not find alot.
However he seems to be highly ranked in Canadian basketball, and was recruited by bunch of other D1 schools. The only ones that Ive seen named are South Florida, Cornell, and Columbia. There is also mention of other schools on some sites but none are named.

South Florida is a good Big East program, so that alone should give us some idea of his potential.

Im excited to see him play, and it really will be interesting to see who we sign for the second spot.

Don't know how I missed this earlier, but Nem is now a member of the Bosnia and Herzegovina National Team representing Bosnia and Herzegovina in international basketball competitions.

We know he missed the Alumni Game in late June because he was in the midst of tryouts for a professional team in Spain. Until recently, when he started training camp with his national team, he had been in Spain for a couple of months, but I have nothing to report on the results of those tryouts.

RUMOR is he is looking to sign or has signed with Unicaja Málaga, based in Málaga, Andalusia, but I cannot confirm that!

I love that you dredged up a 4.5 year old post rather than creating a new one.

Ha ha, yea, I'm a real conservationist.... and a bit of history buff.

But, you're right; it can be annoying when someone shows up and starts a new thread without checking to see what's on the board first.

Hmm, that gives me an idea......we should find some of the first-ever posts and do a version of "where are they now?"

BTW, wish you'd post more; just waiting for basketball season?

I've been crazy busy with work for the most part.

Basketball is my #1 Pilot sport and there just isn't a whole lot to talk about in the summer. I get on and lurk every few days but it's nothing like in-season when I'm checking for new posts (and responding) multiple times a day.

This doesn't bother me at all, actually, unless the post in question is recent. I really just think it's hilarious that you went back 4.5 years when a new post would have been totally fine.

The trouble with going back to old posts is that you have to respect the dominant theme of what the thread was about, which is eventually beer.

Speaking of which, I had Deschutes Chainbreaker White IPA yesterday for the first time. Not a big fan. Got some wierd spice thing going on that I can't handle. I actually found it a bit of a chore to get through....rest assured though....I did finish it

And I had this:


It was SUPER chocolatey, and it definitely tastes strong, but the chocolate really mellows it out. Well, as much as you can mellow out an 11% beer....

ShipstadPilot, I have an exclusive tour of your workplace on Thursday at 2pm with my high school buddy who sells hops. I will make a specific request to visit sector 7G. D'OH!

Leinenkugel's Big Eddy was at my local SuperSuperMarket with a sign that said "100 rating on RateBeer." So I picked up a 4 pack. Generally not a fan of Lienie's, but I thought what the heck. For an Imperial IPA I didn't taste too many hops. Sadly, my favorite beer of theirs is the Honey Weiss.

Thursday at 2pm the only place you should be is the Waterfront. Get with the program.

This is the correct answer and was my plan, but gosh darn it stinking work is going to get in the way of it! Boooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

I'm going there first. Something about a brewfest kick-off brunch.

Shipstad...we'll be in touch

Rev keeps his unbelievable record of sending players to the professional game, and congratulations to Nem Mitrovic for reaching his dream of becoming a pro player. Nem signed today with Kavala BC in Greece.

To quote Rev:

Belief and hard work pays off!

From Nem today:

Big dreams turn to big things, I've been waiting on this day since I was 16

Nem also sent this picture of his new home:

Crickey.


Anybody have Nem's address?

I might pop in on him.

Didn't know the exact numbers until brought up-to-date by Coach Wolf:

11 of our last 11 seniors got a diploma in May and signed a pro contract by Sept

Now, that has to help when on the recruiting trail.

Like I tweeted at Rev in May, the 100% graduation rate is the impressive part.

Our Globe Trekkers are in Romania......what they say is true; some of the best friendships in life are made in college.
