Western Kentucky men’s basketball coach Ken McDonald is hoping an overseas product will bolster the Hilltoppers’ backcourt.
Point guard Dejan Cvoro of Serbia has officially signed with the Hilltoppers and will be eligible this fall, McDonald said this morning. The 6-foot-4 Cvoro most recently played for the club team Partizan II in Belgrade, Serbia.
“I think he’s got a chance to come in and have an impact,” McDonald said. “He’s played against men every day (on his club team). He’s bringing a really good background and he’s developed.”
Cvoro will arrive at WKU as a freshman. He is McDonald’s fourth recruit and is expected to arrive in Bowling Green on Aug. 24. He joins a signing class that includes junior college transfers Sergio Kerusch - a guard-forward from Memphis - and point guard Anthony Sally, along with incoming freshman Jameson Tipping.
The Hilltoppers’ backcourt has taken a personnel hit from last year. Three of their four leading scorers from last year - Courtney Lee, Tyrone Brazelton and Ty Rogers - were all seniors.
“It’s huge,” McDonald said. “I think he’s going to have a really good career on the Hill. It worked out really well, especially with us losing guards and needing guards.”
