Good Morning. Today, on this Juneteenth holiday, we pause to remember, honor and celebrate freedom for all.

Please enjoy today’s Brew on this special day.

Here’s what’s Brewin’ today:

🎥 Meet Big Z
🏆 Hall of Honor inductees
🐗 And so much more! 

🎙 THE HOG POD

Zvonimir Ivišić, aka Big Z, filled the first spot on Coach John Calipari's—following him from Kentucky. 

Growing up in Croatia, Zvonimir always loved basketball. His 7'2" height never kept him from becoming a well-rounded player. He played as a guard through most of high school before signing with an amateur league right out of school, catching the eye of Cal from across the world. 

Big Z has been loyal to Cal ever since, following him from Kentucky to Arkansas, and plans to be a huge part of his squad.
