Sim Bhullar, a 7-foot-3, 280-pound center, attends prep school in Pennsylvania and has garnered enough recruiting interest to become a member of ESPNU's Super 60 for the class of 2012.

Tanveer Bhullar, Sim's younger brother, is 7-foot-2, 245 pounds and expected to be highly recruited for the class of 2013.

The Bhullar brothers were born in Canada, and their parents are from India.

According a USA Today article on how the NBA is looking to promote basketball in India, players from the world's second-most populated nation could also soon start showing up on college rosters.
IMG Academies recently held a clinic in India and selected eight teens -- four boys, four girls -- to spend at least one academic year at the sports management company's property in Bradenton, Fla. Included is Satnam Singh, a 15-year-old 7-footer who plays for India's national junior team.

"They were more advanced than I thought they would be. That's not a slight. That's a compliment," said Andy Borman, IMG's director of basketball. "Out of these eight, there's a chance a good percentage are going to be scholarship players."
