Albertus Magnus head coach Mitch Oliver has just landed arguably the biggest recruiting steal we’ve seen all year long in 6’7” big man Jefferson Lora.

Charlton Young has yet to coach a game on the Georgia Southern sidelines, but he has already scored a major victory for Eagles program. The newly appointed head coach pulled off a recruiting coup by convincing his godson, Winchendon’s Eric Ferguson, to verbally commit to him and the Georgia Southern program. Ferguson is a 6’6” swingman who spent the past season at the Winchendon School in Massachusetts. Earlier this spring, when he decided that he would be returning to Winchendon…
