The Arrival of Luka

[like-woahh]

Stumbled into this video on YT. Not sure if this is a Pepsi thread, I did a search and didn't see it posted.

Luka is a special player, I'm crossing my fingers that he comes back next year - if he does, his jersey will be hanging from the rafters.

I 100% agree that he is VERY special and I hope with everything that I am that Luka comes back for 1 more year. But trying to be truly pragmatic (which is hard for me), even given the fact that he is likely to go undrafted due to his "lack of athleticism" (or whatever they concoct), given the absolute BEATING he takes EVERY NIGHT, why spend another year being "IZZO'd" and instead try and get his career going while he's still healthy. Jack Nunge is the perfect example of the risks of playing and I know he and Luka are close. If I thought another year would improve his draft position and the $$ he can make, it would be different. But as much as I want him back, I can't really make even 1 argument (beyond wanting to be a part of what could truly be something special next year) for him coming back for 1 more year of the perpetual flagrant fouls he absorbs night after night. I hope I'm wrong.

Lefty taking credit for spotting Luka. I wonder if that was before Fran recognized him in the AAU circuit playing against Connor. You know Lefty wasn’t calling Iowa on Luka’s behalf.

Just an incredible year for him. Probably worth taking a shot at the NBA after this season as the things he will get knocked for(speed/quickness and jumping ability) won't be better with another year in college.

Give it a shot as a UDFA, play in Europe if that doesn't work out.
