Apparently signed with Providence but couldn't get through the clearing house. I guess he is now eligible? Apparently has four years left.

Hat tip goes to my SMU alum friend and fanatical Dayton Flyers fan for the information. From what I read on the Dayton sites, it appears he is good to go next year, but I can't vouch for that information.

Alexandre Gavrilovic, a 6-foot-9, 230-pound forward from Strasbourg, France, began a two-day visit at UD on Wednesday.

Gavrilovic, who played at IMG Academy in Florida, won a gold medal in the European Championships while playing as a 19-year-old on the French under-20 team last summer. He signed a letter-of-intent with Providence in 2010 but was never admitted because of issues with his French academic transcript.

After being released by the Big East school, he returned to IMG and has been checking out a handful of colleges this spring.

We have experience with bungled foreign transcripts, maybe that can be our niche.

Geez, if it leads to quality bigs still available in May, that's nice niche. If we only have 1 ship, and its between Russell & Gavrilovic, who do you take? Russell isn't available next year, and only has 2 years left. Gavrilovic has 4 and is eligible next year.
