Was featured in a Washington Post HS sports article. Seems to be a '21. They mention "offers" as in plural, but no VC page seems odd "Even without Hawkins, Ituka stayed steady on his path. He continued to cross off goals, leading Gaithersburg back to the playoffs by averaging 26 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. He earned All-Met honors for the third time and was named Montgomery County player of the year. College offers arrived. With a strong AAU season in the spring and more of the same success at Gaithersburg this winter, Ituka could have had his pick of high-level programs. But in March, two weeks after the end of his junior season, everything came to a halt." www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/08/21/when-county-canceled-winter-sports-this-basketball-star-took-his-talent-north/

Ituka is a definite upgrade over Byrd who was too small to finish at rim. Scott, Harris, and Ituka all have the size, build, and handle to match up with any backcourt in the M.A.A.C. if they can knock it down from 3 we're ready to go. Reminds me of K.Hart

Looks like a nice replacement after losing Byrd. Need to use the last ship on a MAAC big

thoops,
Did they sign Scott?
This team is loaded at the 1,2, and 3. I loved Hakeem Byrd, but this kid is really good. Jones should have a field day. Wright too. This kid gets to the rim with ease. Harris is a sniper. we're gonna have fun boys.

Certainly have to say we got much more aggressive going to the rim with Cele and Ituka. But please can we use this last scholarship on a big inside player, please!

They are bringing in some really nice players. So the bigs are Enoh, Jones, and Belton. We need to either bring in a productive transfer or another guy like Belton. Give them both time and have them ready by year 2. Damn, they have some players now.

I see one transfer(from Lipscomb) we at least had past interest in when he was in HS, Luke Howard recently committed to D2 Biola University.
