Invested Coaching

An investment that matters: A reason to pick to Santa Clara

Men’s basketball player Josip Vrankic ’21 turned down Tulane and Princeton to play at Santa Clara.

“For me, it was how invested the coaches were,” says Vrankic, who came to SCU having earned props as one of the best prep players in Canada. “Everything else is just a big bonus, like being in Silicon Valley, getting into the business school.”
