CHICAGO -- University of Chicago Head Men's Basketball Coach Mike McGrath announced today that Michael Sustarsic (Liberty, Ind./ Union County) has enrolled at the University and plans to play for the Maroons beginning in 2008-09.

Playing for Head Coach Mark Detweiler, the 6'0" Sustarsic is the all-time leading scorer for Union County High School.

"Michael has all of the qualities we look for in a point guard," said McGrath, who is 149-79 in nine years at Chicago. "He has excellent skill, leadership ability, and a passion for basketball. He is a great addition to our recruiting class."

In addition to his standing as Union County's career scoring leader, Sustarsic also holds school records for most points and three-pointers in a game, and most free throws in a season. He is averaging 19 points per contest this year and has tallied more than 40 points on two occasions.
