CHICAGO -- University of Chicago Head Men's Basketball Coach Mike McGrath announced today that Tommy Sotos (Elk Grove Village, Ill./ Conant) has enrolled at the University and plans to play for the Maroons beginning in 2008-09.

The 6'3" Sotos is currently the leading scorer (13.0) for Head Coach Tom McCormack's Conant High School team, which is off to a 12-4 start this season.

"Tommy is a passionate basketball player and competitor," said McGrath, who is 143-77 in nine years at Chicago. "His enthusiasm and talent should be great assets for our program. We are very excited that he will be a Maroon for the next four years."
