With the majority of the ESPNU 100 signing in November, it has been well chronicled that the late signing period is thin on talent, especially in the post. A player like South Kent's (Conn.) PF Nemenja Djurisic (6-foot-8, 230 pounds), who played very well late in the season, would have an increased value during the normal late signing period as teams scramble to fill needs on their roster. But given the lack of available talent, he now becomes a "must-get" for some programs.Djurisic, a native of Podgorica, Montenegro, had schools like Fairfield, Stony Brook, Rhode Island and Charlotte on him before blowing up in the late period. He took official visits to NC State and Utah and both were serious contenders before coaching changes forced him to cross those schools of his list. He has now narrowed his choices to Arizona State, East Carolina, Georgia and Kansas State and is expected to make a decision on Friday. Djurisic says that style of play, his relationship with the head coach and the way a coach communicates with his players will all factor into his final decision.The ruggedly built Djurisic is a typical European power forward with a good basketball IQ who has the ability to stretch the defense out to the 3-point line. He caught a lot of people's attention with a good game in a head-to-head match-up against ESPN's No. 1-rated 2012 prospect Andre Drummond.It is always interesting to follow the competition for a player in the late period and Djurisic's decision is going to one coach very happy and force the others to continue to scramble.
