Keenan Henderson Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Luka is listed at 203 pounds, so he needs to add about 20-25 pounds. Should be a good stretch four Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle88 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hopefully he is a physical player that plays good defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORob1 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 One of the tweets I saw from March said he was getting interest from South Carolina, Seton Hall, Maryland, South Florida, and Stetson.... Luka appears to be a very nice recruit! Hurry up and get here, November! Bring back the flame and Go Big Blue! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cornelius Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 If Luka can use his size to set screens and rebound any scoring will be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From his stat history, he doesn't appear to be a big scorer. But, scouts have commented on his excellent ball-handling skills as a big man, which could play well into our offensive system. We need some girth and depth on the frontline for defense and rebounding - along with the ability to effectively dish the ball out to our (many) scoring threats on the perimeter. Sounds like a solid signing - and immediately available for play this fall. The Eastern European pipeline strikes again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUJason Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Very excited! Should be a good fit for the offense. With Luka and Sir Isaac plus Lufile, Plet, and Clover, we should have a good battle for playing time and good depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cletus Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Let's see what he has got... CPCA Forward Headed To ORU - Zach Smart CPCA FORWARD HEADED TO ORU JULY 15, 2021 http://www.zachsmart.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/1BDA16AE-1F94-411A-AD37-6C2066304FC9.jpeg Oral Roberts University has received a verbal commitment from 6-foot-10 forward Luka Tekavcic. Out of Central Pointe Christian Academy HS in Kissimmee, Fla., the skilled and versatile Tekavcic is a late pickup for head coach Paul Mills and staff. With NBA 3-point range and the ability to put the ball on the deck like a guard, the Slovenia native brings upside and a unique threat for ORU. Mills’ program recently lost Kevin Obaner, who averaged 23 points and 11 boards during the team’s wild 2021 Sweet Sixteen run. They also returned electrifying, high scoring guard Max Abmas, who tested the NBA waters after leading the nation in scoring during the 2020-2021 season. Tekavcic gives the program depth in the frontcourt. He averaged 11.6 points at Central Pointe this past season, a role player alongside Illinois-signee R.J. Melendez during the White Tigers’ second consecutive Grind Session World Championships berth. Tekavcic is a catch-and-shoot threat that gives them perimeter offense. Defensively, he’s got the length and ability to guard multiple positions. “Luka is a very skilled player, a legit 6-10,” said Richie Delmau, CPCA’s head coach. “A good shooter, good defender, he can block shots and is a very smart team player.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ting Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Sounds like exactly what we need! Welcome Luka! hopefully we can get some bruiser power from our returnees or the Sir and we will be in good shape whens that blue/white….? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleManiac Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Nice pickup. I feel good about our bigs this year, even with KO leaving. Will be very interesting to see what our offense looks like this year - my guess is night/day difference from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like all those lob catches in that Luka highlight video in the other thread. I know it’s a lot to expect out of a true freshman, but maybe we will see some good chemistry by March.
