Notre Dame Basketball: What You Need To Know About Nikola Djogo

Some would argue the Nikola Djogo was only offered because of his teammate Thon Maker. Those people would be right. The only reason why the Irish found Djogo was because they were recruiting Maker, that doesn’t mean Djodo can’t play though.

Djogo is a 6’7″ 185lbs combo guard out of Toronto’s Athlete Institute Basketball Academy. First off this means the guy has not only played with some elite talent but he’s also had to play against it as well. This already gives Djogo an advantage because he’s not out there playing against nobody’s. Earlier this year Athlete Institute played Prolific Prep which means Djogo had his chance to play against Josh Jackson, the top ranked recruit in this year’s class.
