I know we haven’t really been a big player for him so far. Is there any update? Sorry, forgot to reply to this. That's an interesting take, that Mirambeaux is the best fit for our style. I've never prioritized him as a potential recruit to follow compared to some others because he was one of five Boo Williams kids that SLU offered at once in 2017 when they were on campus for a Nike EYBL event. I don't think he's a bad player but he hasn't seemed to boost his stock in the past couple years at Teays Valley Christian in WV. For one, they don't seem to get as much travel or exposure as a lot of other schools. Second, Mirambeaux still has a ton of work to do physically. He's currently listed at 6-8, 295 and they might be rounding up on height and rounding down on weight. He's really big. He's mobile for his size and has proven to have a consistent enough outside shot to be a really difficult matchup. I just don't see any indication that he's ever been a priority for the staff. The only recruiting noise I've seen for him in a long time is that he's still being recruited by Marshall, which at 35 minutes away from TVC is the closest thing to a local program (he's Dominican and living with a host family in WV).

Live 5 minutes from TVC. Did not know they had upped their ambitions so much. School has been around for decades. Just a little Christian school of maybe 125 kids in the HS. For years just a small school with virtually no notable athletics. Can't believe they play much of a schedule so the kid is getting very, very little competition.

Mirambeaux got the better of Jason Jitoboh in an upset victory. Mirambeaux can really rebound and has a nice perimeter shot. Jitoboh needs to lose about 20lb and Mirambeaux needs to lose about 50. Two of the slowest basketball players I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Ford indicated he was recruiting in New England recently? Gotta figure there is a good chance it was in the prep school circuit? Haven't heard us connected to any of those players yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StlBills Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Tony Irons had some nice things to say about Hargrove and Collins on 590 today. Said Hargrove can defend 1 through 4 and Collins is the smartest kid on the court in the area. I'm sure he said more but it was a pretty quick conversation.

I'm a little surprised by the timing for both of these. Johnson just said in an interview recently that he was getting ready to schedule some more visits. Thomas said he wanted to get out to Arkansas, but I know they're in the mix for some other bigs, so maybe he got impatient. Anyway, I assumed both would be April commitments.

Ironically enough, Jankovic is the 2nd most athletic big we've heard about. The other, Julius Marble, has seen a high major spike in his recruitment.

3star_recruit Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Considering our need for bigs, my best guess for the Georgia recruiting target is explosive 6'7 forward Tay Watson: https://hoopseen.com/news/player/201901/look-some-available-forwards-georgias-2019-class A great motor and a ready made frame makes him a legitimate option when looking for back line help. Our staff covered 12 major events spread out across the east coast during the month of December and yet Watson remains as one of the best options for non high major programs as we head into the late signing period. Those that wait could find themselves intrenched in a recruiting battle that they could've avoided during the winter months.
