CBS Sportsline Story on players who have led trying lives BEFORE they start playing college ball as Freshmen

#7 is Dusan Radivojevic, our Serbian recruit.

Here's what it said:

After averaging 35 ppg last year as a high school senior in Cacak, Serbia & Montenegro, the 6-5 Radivojevic wanted to play college basketball this season. An overseas talent scout sent an email detailing Radivojevic's qualifications to scores of colleges, and Bowling Green's Dan Dakich bit. He requested video of Radivojevic, and after checking with his contacts -- Dakich's grandfather was born in Serbia -- he offered Radivojevic a scholarship. Dakich says Radivojevic amazes teammates with stories from Serbia, like the time a bomb dropped about 500 meters from a gym where he was playing.
