Andrija Jelavic officially signs with Kentucky !
- Thread starter JoeBeeHall
- Start date
The NCAA just went from flaccid to 6 with this news. Hold my beer they said.
UK officially adds 2 bigs today. One a project from Lexington but one is a mobile 4 man that can play the 3 if UK needs to go big.
JQ Center large 6-9
BG PF 6-10
AJ SM 6-11
KW 2G 6-8
DA PG 6-5 Or OO at 6-4 JJ 6-4 or CC at 6-6.
NBA Size team. Doubt we really see this line up. But if you came across a team that goes large it would be matching up size.

Jello-Witch? Well, we're bound to have fun with that.
Pronounced like Andreezha Yellavich.
Probably a good Bill Cosby joke in there somewhere.
I'm crazy curious to see this guy in action.
Here's to hoping he adjusts to American cuisine in a timely fashion.
I'm excited to see this dude play. I'm not even sure why, but I think he's a sleeper.

Appreciate it. I did in fact go blank thinking of the other big guy.
Andrija Jelavic:
Andrija: AHN-dree-yah
In "Jelavić" (the original Croatian spelling), the "vić" ending is pronounced like "vich" where the "ch" is similar to the "ch" in "church," not like "itch" or "vick."
So, "Jelavic" is pronounced:
YEH-lah-vich (with "vich" rhyming with "witch" or "rich").
If you want to be even more accurate, the "ć" at the end is a soft "ch" sound, not as hard as in English "church," but "vich" is much closer than "vick."

Didn't think I could be more excited than I was this time last year but here we are.
Dobre! Welcome to Kentucky Jela!
You will do great here!
You will do great here!
Yellavich sounds like my better half
