Report: UTEP men's basketball gets commitment from Serbian point guard

The UTEP men's basketball team may have addressed its biggest need, point guard, as CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein is reporting that 21-year-old Serbian Vuk Vulikic has committed to the Miners.

He will be eligible to play in the 2020 season.

The 6-foot-4 point guard helped lead Serbia to the gold medal at the 2017 U-18 European Championships and has been playing club basketball for Belgrade's KK Dynamic. He averaged 5.5 points and 3.1 assists as a part-time starter for the professional team in Serbia's top division last season.

"Had high-major interest," Rothstein tweeted.

His older brother Luka played for Eastern Washington.
