Georgia Tech made another big addition to its 2024 recruiting class today.

According to the 247Sports Composite, Onwuchekwa is the No. 111 player in the country, the No. 19 center, and the No. 7 player in the state of Texas. 

Here is a scouting report on Onwuchekwa courtesy of On3 analyst Jamie Shaw: 

“Doryan Onwuchekwa has a big frame and broad shoulders with solid length. Has good hands – albeit small – and touch with consistent range. Can stretch the floor out to beyond the arc, off the catch, and he puts it on the deck under control. He can drift and get too perimeter-oriented at times. When he plays close to the basket, he is a good area rebounder and a good outlet passer. He has range on catch-and-shoot threes. Has some upside to slide his feet on defense. He is still figuring out his game, but the consistency continues to become more and more frequent."

This is a massive addition to Damon Stoudamire's 2024 class. Prior to his commitment, Stoudamire's class ranked 20th in the country and fourth in the ACC. 

Jaeden Mustaf is ranked No. 48 overall in the 247Sports composite ranking, and No. 6 at his position. He earned all-state honors last season at Carmel Christian School, leading the Cougars to a 28-4 record and a berth in the state championship game. He averaged 15.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists. He began his prep career at legendary DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Md., where his father attended. There, he averaged 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists as a sophomore. He also enjoyed a standout summer on the Nike EYBL Circuit in 2023 and was named MVP of the 2022 Adidas 3SSB 17U Championship.

Ranked No. 31 among centers and No. 182 overall in the 247Sports composite ranking, Cole Kirouac attended North Forsyth High School in Cumming, where he was named honorable mention all-state and also to the 6A Region 8 all-region team for his play throughout the 2022-23 season. Kirouac made the 6A Region 8 all-tournament team for his performance in the postseason and was selected to play in the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association all-star game after the season. For the 2022-23 season, he averaged 14 points, 10 rebounds, and two blocked shots per game. He played AAU ball for the Atlanta Xpress and finished fifth in rebounding on the UA Next Circuit in 2023 (8.2 RPG).

Four-star forward Darrion Sutton has committed to Georgia Tech but has not signed. He could end up being the best player from the 2024 class.

Georgia Tech also has a four-star committed for 2025, four-star forward Brandon Stores.

The Yellow Jackets season ended last week with a loss to Notre Dame in the first round of the ACC Tournament. Stoudamire and his staff have been hard at work since then and has added another future piece for his program.
