Mitrovic on his decision to choose Cal
Nicolas Mitrovic went in-depth on his commitment to Cal with Rivals.
“I chose Cal because it felt like the best place for me. I wanted a place that would push me everyday and Cal gives that competitive environment where I will be able to grow. I clicked with the coaches right away.”

More on Mitrovic
Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw has evaluated Mitrovic on multiple occasions, but had this to say about him after watching him at the Bojangles Bash in December:
Mitrovic has good length and a fluid athletic makeup. He was an offensive weapon from multiple levels. The three-star junior knocked down a couple pick-and-pop spot shots, and when they switched to a smaller player, Mitrovic went down to the block. He finished with both hands on the block, showing touch and positive balance. He was effective on the glass and he used his length well around the basket. With Mitrovic’s athletic fluidity, skill, and length he has a very intriguing upside. Mitrovic finished with a game-high 21 points.
