Louisville, Mississippi State add international prospects

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Louisville and Mississippi State both added international prospects on Thursday.

Louisville has picked up Vangelis Zougris, a 6-foo-8 forward from Greece, sources confirmed to ZAGSBLOG.

Peristeri’s Vangelis Zougris has committed to Louisville, I’m told.

The 2004-born 6’8” 250 pound Greek big man has been an interior finishing and rebounding force for several seasons in the GBL and Champions League.
