Placeholder. Wow, that's a mouthful. Anyway, listed at 6'10-6'11".

A POWER FORWARD? Must be a typo!

Monteverdi is coached by the Hurley's mortal enemy,
Kevin Boyle.
He's a former St. Patrick of NJ coach, who moved
to Monteverdi after St. Patrick's closed.

nice behind the back dribble in transition there...

Dan Hurley have enemies?!! I dont believe it! Dan is such a gentle guy!

Boyle's team bombed St. Anthony in 2007 for the NJ state championship.
His teams competed against both Hurley's, and it wasn't a friendly rivalry,
from all accounts.
Notable players he had were, Kyrie Irving, Samuel Dalembert, Michael Kidd-Gilcrist,
and Al Harrington.

Looks really good from the videos I watched. With the way our frontcourt currently looks I wouldn't be surprised if Hurley has told him he could be starting as a freshman if he comes here. Reminds me a little bit of Iverson except with better ball handling and shooting, seems to like hanging out on the perimeter more than inside.

Here is a 11.5 minute video of highlights from the Imhotep Charter vs Montverde Academy Championship Game of the Montverde Academy Invitational Tournament..
Imhotep won the game 57-48 breaking Montverde's 55 game home court winning streak that stretched over 6 years.
Imhotep is currently ranked 7th in USA Today, Montverde is ranked 8th.
Daron Russell was the MVP of the Montverde Tournament

Sandro is #23 in the video - Yellow uniforms. It's not a highlight video of only Sandro but of highlights from the entire game condensed to 11.5 minutes. Sandro is not always in the game but he is in quite a bit. Russell is #1 for Imhotep.
Montverde's roster is loaded with height. Have to be quite good to get playing time for Top 10 USA Today Ranked Teams.

Ben Simmons came out of Montverde Academy as well, as a recent example.

Here's another interview with Corey Evans.

2017 forward Sandro Mamukelashvili had the strongest performance I've seen from him since arriving in the United States over the summer. The native of Georgia was active and aggressive on both ends of the floor. At 6-foot-9, Mamukelashvili has the ability to step out and on the floor and make plays, but this was the most active I've seen him around the basket. He went to the glass, ran the floor and in general just played hard. Mamukelashvili, a southpaw, is equipped with good hands and touch and is capable of making a jump shots from mid-range out to three.

Looks a little like Alec Peters.

Need to close on this one.

Has visited USC and Vandy. If URI is still interested I would assume they'd try to set up a visit soon.

He comitted to Seton Hall this afternoon

Whatever happens we need Seton Hall to keep their head coach for a long time. That is one job we don't want open
