Isn't he a scholarship player? I thought we were out of scholarships. So if we get him, doesn't it mean we have to lose someone? I'm too tired this morning to try to think carefully about the scholarship situation. I might just be wrong.

We have up to 15 scholarships to give. I believe Ivan makes 12.
 
This is about three things:

- Adding depth.

- Giving Veesaar a player to go up against in practice.

- Building the international pipeline.

Luka will be here in a week, by all accounts that I have seen.

This is a quote: Isaac Schade on his Locked-on-Tar Heels show said that Sherrell reported that “multiple sources” say Luka has his “interview with the consular officer at the American Embassy in Montenegro this week.”

“If he’s approved following the interview and provides all the necessary documents he can immediately head to North Carolina and join the team.”

He still has to get clearance from the NCAA to play, but at least he can join the team and participate fully in the preseason. Countless international players receive this clearance each year. In any case, the visa is said to be "imminent."

Ah, nice! Thanks for the update!
 
Luka won’t be here until the week prior to the start of fall classes since the players have left.
 
Anyone know what his "transcript" might look like? Has he attended any schooling beyond high school? Taken any of the various admission exams? How well does he speak, write, and read English?
 
The best that I can figure out, Bogavac almost assuredly graduated from high school but also very likely has not been studying in the years since. This article run through a translator (ChatGPT) states, "In an interview with "Vijesti", Bogavac points out that he had not considered going to college, but that he could not refuse the offer from North Carolina, which has been the NCAA champion six times, most recently in 2017."

"I didn't even consider college as an option. During the season, a serious offer and a lot of interest came up. Knowing that North Carolina is the cradle of NCAA basketball and one of the most prestigious universities, I couldn't turn down the offer when it came. There was interest from other colleges, but when the offer from North Carolina came, I knew that was it," explains Bogavac.

Bogavac is known as a player with a serious character, who likes to be a leader and likes to make decisions in uncertain endings.

"North Carolina fans can expect a temperamental and characterful player, I will try to give 100 percent. I have great energy, character. I know that the expectations are high and I will try to justify them. I like to be a man of decisions, I like to take the initiative. From the younger selections, I like to ask questions, to make decisions. I know where I come from, that it is the University with the largest fan base in America. I will make sure that the team achieves as many victories as possible and goes to the very top," said Bogavac."
