Aleksa Nikolic has left Marshall's basketball program ...

Remember when Dan brought that young man here. Dan said he was NBA material and could play good defense due to his long arms. Don't know the details but best of luck to him.

I'm sure the bad facial injury he sustained which cost him a year redshirting may have come into play. Guess he was still able to attend to his academics and hopefully he leaves MU with his degree. Wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors whether it be in professional basketball back in Europe or in another vocation!! No evidence of anything negative regarding his time at MU both on and off the floor. Good luck, Alexsa!!

Read somewhere that he had already graduated and was trying out for the Serbian national team.

 

[Herdmeister]

He will graduate in August from MU. Will go to Serbia to play pro ball. He did tryout for the Serbian National team in Denver a couple weeks ago to play in the University Games. That team hasn't yet been announced
He himself tweeted a very nice note to thank his coaches and Herd fans. Very classy young man.

I spent more time with him than any other player. He is a great kid.

I love this kid. Everyone should wish him well.

I really thought he could still help us. He plays pretty solid D, rebounds well for his size, and is long. His shot has been disappointing, but it has improved since his freshman season. Sad to see him go.

So he couldn't compete at the D1 level but he thinks he can make a Top 10 National team??

What games you been watching?

What games you been watching?

He was a VERY good defensive player. His arms were very long. Danny went on and on about how many passes he deflected or altered.

 

[Herdmeister]

I spoke with him yesterday. He is leaving as early as Monday. He isn't sure yet if he will play University ball or pro ball over there.

 

[Herd Fever]

If he was such a good defender, he would have played more.

The Herd doesn't play defense, so no need for him to be on the floor.

 

[Herdmeister]

If he was such a good defender, he would have played more.

According to his coach it was because he hurt us with his lack of offensive aggressiveness.

 

[HaveYouHerd22]

Fever I watch plenty of games, and I'm also a varsity coach. Nikolic had very good physical attributes. His offensive game needed work obviously, which led to his minutes being down. He had 2 more years of eligibility, and yes I thought he could of helped us in the future.
