Alex Dragicevich ('91) is currently playing at Glenbrook North HS (Northbrook, Illinois, USA). The american-borned guard -with serbian parents- has committed with Notre Dame (NCAA) and will join the Fighting Irish this fall. Dragicevich ranks as one of the top Class of 2010 prospects in the state of Illinois.

According to Notre Dame web site "Dragicevich, a 6-6, 210-pound shooting guard led his Glenbrook North High School prep team to a 23-5 record in '08-'09 as his squad captured the Central Suburban League North (CSLN) regular-season and tournament crowns. Glenbrook also won regional and sectional titles and reached the Elite Eight of the Illinois state tournament. After averaging 20.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists in his junior season, he was named the CSLN Player of the Year. An all-area selection by the Chicago Sun Times, he garnered first-team all-league honors and was a second team all-state selection. Dragicevich was an all-tournament team honoree at the Proviso West Holiday Tournament and earned MVP honors at the Niles West Thanksgiving Tournament. He has helped Glenbrook North to a combined 61-19 record over three seasons and three CSLN championships. A three-year member of the varsity team, Dragicevich copped first-team all-CSLN honors while averaging 16.3 points per game and earned all-area honorable mention honors. He plays for the Full Package Elite AAU team and led that squad reach the Elite Eight of the gold bracket at the adidas Super 64".

Coach Mike Brey explains that "Alex has great size for a guard. What has impressed me most about his game is how well handles the ball. Alex can really shoot the ball well from the perimeter and is a great fit for our program."

 

Dragicevich has never played with Serbia but he is already with contacts with the Federation.
