The Pack picked up another commit from the transfer portal, Slovenian forward Robert Jurkovic joins the front court. Robert has played 3 seasons of Euro ball in the ABA league (Wiki: ABA League First Division is the top-tier regional men’s professional league that originally feature clubs from former Yugoslavia) as well as playing on the Slovenian National Team. Initially he will slot in behind Yalaho at the power forward. This is likely our first contribution from Assistant Coach Vasiljevic who is expected to help recruit Euro ball.
