2023 Recruiting: UConn Offers 6’7 SF Andrej Stojakovic

[UConnStats]

Yes, Peja’s son

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I freakin' LOVED his dad's game. Knockout shooter and I'd imagine his son is much the same.

His son is currently ranked #82 with offers this weekend from Tennessee, Indiana and Wash St. Before that: Stanford, Minnesota. Louisville, Saint Mary's and San Francisco offered in '21.

In this interview, he says he plays a similar game to Jabari Smith "just because of my size at the position that I play and being able to shoot over defenders."

 

[MexicoHusky]

He would be competing with Jackson and a few people with about 20 minutes total of pt. We have lots of opportunity to play. No reason we can't sign some of the better players available.

Yes, Peja’s son

Yes, please.

The Staff also offered another '23 Compton Magic player...

Also has an offer from KU

 

[Sportsman5]

Looks like this kid will move way up the rankings and get offers from just about everyone, but looks like a good fit for uconn

 

[Umami Zen]

Similarities to Griffith's game?? Looks like a bucket-getter

 

[Slick]

Also has an offer from KU

Bill Self is going to be able to offer a lot of money to sign this kid. Not easy for us to compete.

NIL might help level the playing field for us.

His dad made $98 mil. in the NBA, I'm guessing money isn't much of an issue.

His Dad made $98MM in the NBA

i would suspect , the program that could better get him to and prepare him for the next level is more important than cash.

 

[Waquoit]

I read somewhere his old man made a bunch of money.

Was it in the previous 2 posts?

 

[8893]

One would think his father’s opinion of and connections to the coaches and schools in play would figure heavily. Anyone have any insight there?

This isn't the clever comment you think it is when paying players is legal

Anyone want to tell this poster?

Peja played in the NBA for like 13 years and was an all star. I’m sure he’s somewhat well connected with the American college basketball scene.

Yes, my question is which coaches and programs specifically?

I don’t know. That’s what the poster was asking though.
I can imagine a “Peja played for this assistant coach for several years who’s now the head coach for ___”.
Or, “Peja’s son played AAU for this coach who’s well connected with Kansas”

Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m talking about.

 

[Hoophound]

This is a perfect UConn kid. Drive to be the best, no need for dirty money and a jump shot that will bring MSG to its feet the second he rises up. I’d love this.

A quick look at rosters during Pejas career and stops I saw he played with Hilton Armstrong, Kevin Ollie and Emeka Okafor so there’s our UConn ties. That’s all I got!

Don’t think Ollie will be of much assistance lol

I am tired of this. Every other college besides UConn is paying people. Stop the crap. Prove it
When I was at UConn, Tony Hanson was always driving in a new car and he was dirt poor.
I was in the sports program there at the time and I know it.
