Noticed Ted listed Marin and our other international commits as Freshman in the recruiting grid...is that inside info on beating the new rules or an error?

Pretty sure this year's squad should just be called The Mercenaries. Doubt there's a lot of draw to the university itself.

North Macedonia was the topic a question on Jeopardy recently. Don't ask him why his country is called "North" Macedonia, or you might get punched in the face, especially if you have Greek accent! ;-) Seriously, the country has an interesting, if extremely complex, history, including its years as part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

This is all in addition to a recruit from Bosnia in this class!

So, we've covered all of the erstwhile Yugolavia---Evo Baltic was Croatian to add to the Bosnian and Macedonian.
