There is a buzz stirring in the mountainous, wooded corner of Northeast Georgia. Tucked away from suburbia in picturesque Rabun Gap, Georgia is 6-foot-10 Serbian Dusan Kovacevic. He's quickly becoming a name that college coaches from all levels are chasing down and trying to learn more of.

For starters, Rabun Gap Nacoochee College Prep is not a well-known basketball program. Just miles away from the North Carolina state border, the campus sits on top of a hill and looks over a gorgeous valley in the Appalachian Mountains.

There has never been a Division I basketball player come from the school. Until now.

Kovacevic broke his wrist last season. He transferred out to Kansas to play at Sunrise Christian but the stay there was short before he returned back to Georgia. Because he didn't play on the travel circuit, Kovacevic was not a name on the popular dot com recruiting lists.

He is now the No. 18 ranked player in Georgia on our HoopSeen.com rankings for the class of 2015. There were a few schools that knew about him going into the school season. San Diego offered him a scholarship and hosted him for an official visit earlier in the fall.

New Mexico has a connection with a coach in Serbia that Kovacevic is involved with. Head coach Craig Neal and staff made the cross-country trek to evaluate him in the fall. While both good options, Kovacevic has decided to play out his senior season to explore more options. Since then, the big man has become a popular name for recruiters.

"It has changed a lot," Kovacevic said of his recruitment over the last couple of weeks. "Not too many people knew about me. Coach Tates Locke (formerly of Clemson and Jacksonville) has been up here and worked me out. He liked me and then told a lot of coaches about me."

Kovacevic said Florida, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Providence, Georgia Tech, Georgia, Oregon and Columbia have all inquired. Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Davidson were in to see him play on Thursday.

He said he has offers from UAB, San Diego, New Mexico, East Carolina, Georgia Southern, Rhode Island and Kennesaw State. But the big man is looking for a specific level, he said.

"i want to go high-major and go somewhere that I can have a big impact and start playing right off my freshman year," Kovacevic said.

"I am going to find the perfect fit at a high-major. I played for my national team and I had an opportunity to sign professionally back home so I am try go somewhere that I can improve and get an opportunity to pay in the NBA and play pro."

As the season plays out, there will be plenty more coaches that make the trek up the mountain roads to see Kovacevic play. When it all comes down to it, what exactly is he looking for in a school?

"Playing time, good coaching staff, people who are going to care about me and where I think is the best fit," Kovacevic said.
