The news all of BBN has been patiently waiting to hear has finally come true. Zvonimir Ivisic will play for the Kentucky Wildcats.
On Wednesday, Ben Roberts of the Herald-Leader reported that the Croatian center had been admitted to the University of Kentucky.
UK spokesperson Jay Blanton told the Herald-Leader on Wednesday morning that Ivišiu0107 has been admitted to the university as a student. There was no immediate word on a timetable for his arrival in Lexington, though he is expected to join the Wildcats’ basketball team soon.
We have to note this does not guarantee he is eligible to play this season, as he still has to be cleared by the NCAA as an amateur, but this is a major step toward getting him on the court for next season.
