In the spirit of multi-culturalism, PSU head basketball coach Ed DeChellis has received a verbal committment from Sasa Borovnjak (not to be confused with Sasha Dabinsky, the famed one-armed violinist), a native of Serbia. The 6'8", 225 lb senior from Veritas Christian High School in Fletcher, North Carolina, surely will bring back memories of other famous PSU players from other countries, like Yawn Jagla, Joonas Suatomo, and John "Yippee-Yi-Yo" Amaechi. At his press conference last week in Fletcher, Sasa answered several questions about his decision to enroll at Penn State.
A reporter asked him about the pressure of playing in a conference like the Big Ten. Sasa, who came to America from Serbia in 2007, answered him with, "In old country, I used to pressure in life. One time I have a brother who have attack of epilepsy while in the bath. He thrash around the tub in lots of water". When the reporter asked him what he did next, Sasa replied, "I throw in basket of londery".
