Rutgers Basketball has landed another player for the 2025 roster, this time reaching across the pond to fill a major need. Former professional Bosnian Basketball player, 21-year-old, 6 foot 7 Small Forward Harun Zrno has decided to commit to the Scarlet Knights. Despite being an older player at the start of his college basketball career, he still comes to Rutgers with four years of eligibility.
Zrno was originally committed to play for Indiana but opened up his recruitment in March after Indiana coach Mike Woodson stepped down. He had offers from other big time programs such as Creighton, Kentucky, Miami, Wisconsin, Virginia, and Villanova during his first and second rounds of recruiting. He is listed as a three-star recruit who boasts a lot of upside.

He was listed as one of the best remaining prospects in the class of 2025. During his time at KK Slavija, a Division 1 club level professional basketball team in Bosnia, he hit 31 out of 71 three point attempts for 43.7 percent from beyond the arc. He averaged 17.5 points per game and 3.6 assists per game while hitting 77 percent of his free throws.
The addition of Zrno fills a dire need for the Knights when it comes to opening up the floor and shooting from the perimeter. Before Zrno committed to the Knights, Rutgers had no real deep shot threat on their roster. He made it clear during his recruitment that he wanted to go somewhere where he had the opportunity to get a lot of playing time early. Since Rutgers had a major void that could be filled by his strengths, it lined up well.
The commitment of Zrno to Rutgers comes as a bit of a surprise as there was not much reported interest between the two parties.
After Zrno’s commitment, the Knights still have three open spots on their roster.
