Cougs add Jakimovski to Top-50 Recruiting Class

PULLMAN, Wash. - Continuing to add to his top-50 recruiting class, head coach Kyle Smith officially announced the signing of Macedonian international Andrej Jakimovski to a National Letter of Intent Sunday morning. Jakimovski officially joins Efe Abogidi (Delta State, Nigeria), TJ Bamba (Bronx, NY), Dishon Jackson (Vallejo, Calif.) and Jefferson Koulibaly (Montreal, Quebec) as players who have signed NLIs with Washington State Basketball for 2020.

"Andrej is someone we have been recruiting for over a year," said Smith. "He has been weighing his options of playing professionally in Europe versus the Pac-12. The allure of competing in the Conference of Champions and getting a college degree were too appealing for him.
