He passes the eye test, unlike Modestas.

He passes the eye test, unlike Modestas.

It has become a running joke at this point, but Modestas' team did him no favors with his hype video. Perhaps the worst collection of "highlights" I've ever seen. After watching, my first thought wasn't, "Can't wait to have him contribute to the Jays!" Rather, it was "I wonder if he could crack the starting five at Benson?" Very unfair to Modestas, who clearly could play, but man did that video poison people's expectations and confidence in him. Mine included.

Fedor's tape is solid. And on the other end of the Modestas unreasonable expectations spectrum, Larry Johnson's tape makes me think we have Dwyane Wade coming to Omaha.

Several tweets on Fedor in Spanish today.

I think it’s being announced that he is leaving Bilbao.

This translates to breaking his Bilbao contract to go to Creighton per his sources.

This article, too, says he's coming to Creighton. I had to run it through a translator because my Spanish isn't as good as it used to be, but here's the relevant piece:

After having played this last season for BG 74 Göttingen, a German team against which Bilbao Basket fought in the second group phase of the FIBA Europe Cup, Fedor Zugic has decided to take advantage of his youth and make the leap to the NCAA, the American university league prior to the NBA, specifically the Creighton University team, the Creighton Bluejays, also known as the "Jays".

Thanks LJay and Tom. I never took Spanish. I think they are saying that his NCAA paperwork is still in process?

Article from Spanish journalist confirming the reports.

Visit confirmed. Mad bomber!

Y’know, watching this again I get a Max Struss vibe from DePaul a few years back and now in the NBA

I originally thought he reminds me of Kyle Korver, but I think your Max Struss comparison is on point.
