Coach Fred Hoiberg added size to his lineup as Iowa State announced the signing of Greek national team center Georgios Tsalmpouris on Monday.
The 7-foot-1 Tsalmpouris, who is from Veria, Greece, won't turn 18 until June. He will compete in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain this summer before joining the Cyclones in the fall. Tsalmpouris will be eligible to play for Iowa State immediately.
Tsalmpouris is just the fifth 7-footer the program has signed.
