UALR men add graduate transfer

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock added forward Dani Koljanin to its men's basketball roster.

Koljanin, 6-8, 220 pounds, is a graduate transfer from Marshall, where he played in 21 games and started seven for the Thundering Herd last season. He averaged 2.4 points and 1.7 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per game for Marshall, which won the Conference USA Tournament to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Prior to playing at Marshall, Koljanin played two seasons at Monroe College in New Rochelle, N.Y., where he was an honorable mention junior-college All-American in 2016 after averaging 13.7 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.
