Roman Sorkin, a 6-foot-9 native of Israel, officially enrolled at the University of Oregon, according to Oregon 247 Sports.
Sorkin is expected to join the Oregon men’s basketball team and will be eligible to play immediately. The freshman averaged 14 points and 9.9 rebounds per game in the U18 European Championships B division this past summer.
His addition will undoubtedly help the lack of size this year’s Ducks roster possesses. Currently, the team boasts a lineup with just two players that are 6-foot-9 or taller.
Oregon head coach Dana Altman is scheduled to speak with the media Wednesday.
