Penn State basketball adds yet another international recruit

If you thought that the new look Nittany Lions' men's basketball team could not add any more international talent, think again. After already bringing in five stars from overseas to fill the roster, the Nittany Lions have added another through the recruiting trail. According to several reports, Serbian forward Aleksandar Zecevic has committed to the squad.

Zecevic is not only important in terms of Penn State's recruiting class but he adds much needed depth in the interior as well as experience in Europe to go along with his compatriots. He now joins Filipino guard Andy Gemao, Croatian forward Roko Prkacin and French wing Francois Wibaut as the four international recruits that could build the future of the program. Pecevic's track record abroad is enough to encourage fans he could be a breakthrough star.

The 6-10 forward played in the Spanish Liga, plying his trade for Surne Bilbao Basket. While he only really played for the U-22 team, he showcased his ability down low, averaging just under eleven points per game for the team. He will now hopefully join a rotation with an international skill set built to translate to the Big Ten. For the Nittany Lions, this is another big win for the recruiting class and another integral addition from abroad.
