And we would have a player named Yaak Yaak.
That alone is worth it.
Sign him up.

#109 on Rivals list with only one “P4” offer, from SC?
Probably will see more of this now that the p4 guys can just buy the best college proven talent.
Why take the risk on developing a high school player when you can just pluck the best mid major players that have shown they can compete in the college game?
The 5 star guys will still go p5 but the guys that aren’t sure fire picks? Evaluate them at a smaller school and then take them a year or two later.

Probably some truth to that. But I suspect it’s something else, grades, character, reclassified, etc. By comparison, the player right before him at 108 has 9 P4 offers. Some close around him have near 20.

Yaak Yaak. Let’s his game do the talking!
I believe he would be our first ever player from the Republic of Georgia.

Highlights of Nika remind me of Igor.

Thought the exact same thing. Looked a little more aggressive going to the basket. Very similar style though.

Agree, however seem to be more athletic. The way he goes to the board can be a huge asset to the team.
From that short clip he looks more athletic than Igor. This continues the trend of better athletes by Fearne. I think he understands that we need athletic players to compete with Memphis and others.

It’s a highlight reel, but if it’s a good sampling, looks like he has a midrange game that Igor really didn’t have.
I agree with everything said above except the athleticism. Igor was actually quite athletic and this guy seems less so but i do like this pickup
Yeah I also thought he looked a touch slower than Igor, though more aggressive.
His outside game is nowhere near Igor’s though.
We still need another real shooter.

Thats a strong ass Georgian!!!
We will have grown men in their 20s competing this year. Hopefully an advantage.
Igor was an impressive shot blocker which gets missed in some critiques of his play.
Fearne said he like kids that embrace contact and look forward to it because of his Aussie rules FB background growing up. This kid should meet that standard.
Yeah still need a knock down shooter. That and another big and we look improved from last year.

Being athletic and playing athletic are two different things. This guy appears to be able to use his talent and get it done!
Kinda reminds me of a bigger Austin Butler

I always thought butler would be great under fearne
Definitely would like to see him improve on those 25.7% 3-PT and 67.8% FT numbers from last season.
