Croatian Center Ivan Njegovan Signs with Ohio State

The Buckeyes just snagged a huge dude from Croatia to fill their last open spot for next season. Ivan Njegovan is a 7-foot-1 monster who's coming to Ohio State after killing it last year for KK Bosco in the Croatian pro league.

Ivan Njegovan

Bosco Shot Blocker

Yeah, this kid's a beast. Njegovan is only 19 but he was already cleaning the glass and blocking shots like crazy for Bosco. He averaged almost five boards and two blocks a game, and he was way better than his teammates at both. Seriously, he blocked like 40% of Bosco's shots all season!

Croatia U20 Team

Njegovan also played for Croatia's U20 team in a big international tournament last summer. He wasn't scoring a ton of points, but he was a real defensive beast out there.

Frontcourt Lineup

With a full four years of eligibility, Njegovan will compete for playing time behind Sean Stewart, Aaron Bradshaw, and Devin Royal in the frontcourt. Sophomore center Austin Parks will also be in the mix for minutes off the bench.

The Buckeye faithful can welcome Ivan Njegovan to Columbus, where he'll don the scarlet and gray. As the final piece of the puzzle, Njegovan adds depth and talent to Ohio State's roster for the upcoming season.
