The basics
ESPN lists Zelic as a 6-foot-10, 220-pound center from Mount Pleasant, Utah, at Wasatch Academy, with his status undeclared. The Wasatch Academy National Basketball Team roster lists No. 44 Strahinja Zelic as a center and power forward, 6-foot-11 and 220 pounds, a sophomore from Novi Sad, Serbia. Prep Hoops lists him as a 7-foot-1 center at Wasatch Academy who plays club basketball for Utah Prospects EYBL. Listed as a C at Wasatch Academy, and he appears on the Utah board. Status: uncommitted.
The boards
ESPN assigns Zelic an 85 scout grade. 247Sports ranks him No. 75. Prep Hoops ranks him No. 64.
The recruitment
He remains uncommitted.
The look
ESPN assigns Zelic an 85 scout grade. 247Sports ranks him No. 75. Prep Hoops ranks him No. 64.
He remains uncommitted. The high schools producing the most ranked recruits is the house piece that sits next to this card. I would stay with Zelic at No. 73. Wasatch Academy plus ESPN assigns Zelic an 85 scout grade is the whole 2028 argument.
What to watch
Can Zelic post a public season average? Which listed height holds, ESPN at 6-foot-10, the Wasatch roster at 6-foot-11, or Prep Hoops at 7-foot-1?
