Serbian native and four-star power forward David Mirkovic committed to Brad Underwood and the Illinois Fighting Illini less than six months ago. Now, it has been only a few weeks since he joined the team in Champaign, and he is already making sure his presence is known.
During a post-practice media session, Mirkovic gave Illinois fans exactly what they were asking for: a sneak peek into what his in-game play looks like (and sounds like).
"That's personal," Mirkovic started when asked about his pregame rituals, before divulging that he prepares "something for each player."
Mirkovic went on to share that he does a little research on each opponent he faces so that he can dish out the trash talk, and he isn't afraid to call out an official when he disagrees with a call.
