Badgers impressed the young Bosnian according to Nick Osen of 247 Sports.

“I really like their style of play and everything. They told me that they really love that I am playing a really similar game back home.”
Before that, Hrno spoke about the Badgers positively, including giving praises to coach Greg Gard.
“The coaching staff is awesome and the culture they have in the program is amazing. Everyone cares about each other and culture really stands out,” he said.
