Sorry for the late night update, but things were quite hectic in the house today.
So to clear some things up. GT expects Baye Ndongo and Miles Kelly to return. Cole Kirouac's status gets cloudy if they can land one more player out of the portal and Kirouac might get another pre-college year very close to GT if that works out for both parties. GT still wants him, but he needs more seasoning. He didn't get to play as much as anyone including Cole would've liked at Brewster Academy this past year. He needs S&C time and to put on weight so this could be a win-win.
GT will host Jared Coleman-Jones from MTSU later this week for a visit coming off a quick OV to San Diego State that wraps up tomorrow. He should be at GT on Thursday. Illinois has started to sniff around a little bit as well. Big man who can shoot the three and bring some versatility.
GT is still messing around with RJ Godfrey (Clemson) as well. He just visited Oklahoma and is visiting VaTech next. UGA was thought to be the co-leader with GT to get him and now it is all over the place with that kid.
A new name to keep an eye on in the big-man mix is Sean Stewart (Duke). He is not a traditional 6'11" center, but that isn't really want Damon Stoudamire is truly looking for based on how they have recruited. They are looking for a complimentary piece to play with Baye Ndongo in the frontcourt whether that is a smaller guy like Godfrey or a similar sized guy like Stewart that is a meat and potatoes big or a more versatile 5 type like Coleman-Jones. That is the beauty of having Ndongo. He works well with different pieces and his future is probably playing the 5/4 spot as a pro so it makes sense to keep him comfortable in that swing role.
