Ivankovic, a 6’10” center, signed his LOI with Atlantic 10 Conference member UNC-Charlotte, bolstering a 49ers roster that returns their top four leading scorers next season. Charlotte, led by head coach Alan Major, finished 2010-11 with a 10-20 overall record and 2-14 in the A-10 during a rebuilding season.

In his one season with Santa Fe, Ivankovic averaged 4.3 points and 4.0 rebounds per game.
