Slovakian forward Sebastian Rancik breaks down decision to join the herd
How did you feel when you entered Colorado?
Sebastian Rancic: \”It was great.
I knew for a long time that I wanted to go to Colorado, so it was true.
I’ve been waiting for your post because I wanted to make this for my grandmother’s birthday last Saturday.

It gave me a sense of relief.”
About Colorado Selection
“I like the coaching staff.
Head coach (Tadd) Boyle and the entire coaching staff believed in me and my abilities. I really like that program.
I believe in the program that coach Boyle has built there.
He won.
I am very happy to be a part of it.
The education is good and the environment reminds me of how it is at home.
I felt very good when I was on campus.
With Tristan (da Silva) and Luke (O’Brien) graduating next year, we have a great opportunity to play significant minutes as freshmen. I want to come in and have an impact on winning.
That’s why I chose Colorado.”
.
It’s about how Colorado takes it.
“They sent someone who looks like Tristan da Silva.
I’m not saying we’re the same players. But they want to use me the same way they are using me now.
A long wing, a player who does everything on the floor; Plays as a pick-and-roll, but can be set up at times.
Be the decision maker in crime. I felt that Colorado was a place where I could showcase my skills better, so that was another big factor in my decision to go there.”

About his father, Martin Ranczyk, who played at Iowa State before going on to a long professional career in Europe.
“I was born in Athens and he played for Olympiacos in the Euroleague. Then I lived in Spain for seven years, where he played professionally.
I fell in love with the game because it was always there. Both parents guided me on this path.
“When you’re in that atmosphere in Europe, the stadiums go crazy and you fall in love with the game and everything about it.”

J travels to California to play at Serra Catholic.
“I moved here when I was a freshman.
So three years ago, when I was fourteen.
When I came here, I was alone.
My mother returned home with my younger sister.
So I had to grow up faster than my peers.
There have been ups and downs, but I believe adversity makes us stronger and pushes us to become better people and players.
All those tough times made me a better player and made me who I am today.
So I’m very glad it ended safely.”

Boulder reminds him of Slovakia.
“We run a ski resort called High Tatras. Slovakia is a great hockey country.
Sometimes I miss the California cold. The Colorado mountains are truly amazing.
Flatiron takes my breath away every time I see it.
I don’t think I’ll ever get old looking at it.
“I really like the feeling of being on campus.”

“I’m proud of my IQ…
How can you read the game and make the right play at the right time?
Impact the game in many ways: scoring, passing, rebounding, shot blocking, good defense, etc. I can guard him at point guard.
I can protect anyone.
My feet are quick to the side. And being a great teammate.
I want to be famous for this.
“I hope that’s what people see when they see me perform.”
