Move over bacon, here comes something...Greekier?
Whatever.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Doug Lesmerises tells us about the latest addition to the Ohio State men's basketball roster.
The Buckeyes announced today the addition of Zisis Sarikopoulos (ZIZ-is SAR-uh-cope-uh-liss), a 7-foot, 265-pound center from Athens, Greece. Sarikopoulos played last season at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. He will sit out the 2008-09 season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules and will have three seasons of eligibility beginning with 2009-10.
Calm down, you've got a year and a half to figure out how to say his last name correctly.
More importantly then size or skill, Zisis (who I am formally dubbing 'Big Z' for the sake of simplicity) has had his picture taken with Spike Lee. Nothing screams potential like getting your picture taken with the director of great motion pictures like 'Clockers'.
We can only hope Big Z lives up the legacy of massive OSU underachievers like the aforementioned Kosta Koufos and Cobe Ocokoljic.
