Towson HC Pat Skerry & AC Chris Conway reel in another local big man who is tailor-made for their system & culture in ‘27 Mt. Carmel/@TeamThrillUAA Junior Mancho.

Relentless motor, imposing frame & a proven, winning track record throughout his HS career.

One of the most humble kids you will ever meet!

2027 Mancho Junior | 6'9" | Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (MD) | Team Thrill
Mancho Junior was one of the most productive bigs I watched all weekend. College ready frame, nonstop motor, and plays with physicality. Elite on the offensive glass, runs the floor, sets great screens, finishes around the rim, and impacts winning without needing plays called for him. Defensively, he protects the rim, communicates, and moves well in ball-screen coverage. A name college coaches need to know.

Too many quiet guards that I’ve seen throughout this month.

Majority have no idea how much it’ll help their value if they take more of a vocal approach. Have pride in running your team. You’re the QB.

The ones who speak up consistently stand out that much more. Maybe even can make college coaches overlook some weaknesses because of it…

@iam_jaygreen @ALKRaphael @SpringdaleMBB @JordanCostley10 @officialtwan10 2:32 2H | Antwan Williams Jr (@officialtwan10) with a huge three to give Mount Carmel a six point lead. 52-46 with little time remaining.

Spoke to Mount Carmel Big Man Mancho Junior after a solid performance in a win against Springdale Prep.

2026 Mt. Carmel F Gage Howard is off the board to Loyola (MD). A great get for Josh Loeffler & staff as Howard brings size in the frontcourt w/ skill, fluidity & a lot of untapped potential left in the tank that should thrive in the long-term at the Patriot League level.

Congrats to Mount Carmel and St. Frances for advancing to the MIAA A Conference Tournament final Sunday at 5 pm at UMBC's CEI Arena. Full details on the games and a 42-point night for SFA's Carter Fisk at https://t.co/jTtvoAYpfz ...

[Kai Hardy @CoachKaiHardy]

@skylerdelgad0 Agreed. I enjoyed watching your day in the life at Oral Roberts. Good luck the rest of your season.

[Kai Hardy @CoachKaiHardy]

@skylerdelgad0 How do those skills translate to becoming an D1 assistant coach? Curious because I want to get my foot in the door for college.

[Kai Hardy @CoachKaiHardy]

Jaxon Kohler didn’t have a great game tonight vs Northwestern tonight, but I did like this look he got off this ball screen action.

[Colby Giacubeno @ColbyGHoops]

2026 Mt. Carmel/@TeamThrillUAA G Tristen Wilson will take an official visit to Holy Cross next weekend, per source. 6’3” combo guard is one of the top unsigned seniors in the Baltimore metro area.

[Kai Hardy @CoachKaiHardy]

@TheFieldOf68 Think this decision is more based on not having his players play back to back high level games in one weekend..

[Thibaut Tagnon @TagnonThibaut]

JJ Redick Game 2, this time with Lebron & AD on the floor. Here's a look:

• Wing Entry (Flare, Away into Empty ball screens)
• Simple Empty (Quick kick)
• Inverted BS (Pop, Slip)
• 5 Out (Zoom, DHO, Down)
• Spain (Reave on Tip Off)
• Post Iso (Bron or AD)
• Quick 3's

[DMV Live @DMVHoopsLive]

Just tipped off between @DeMathaHoops and Mt. Carmel

[Kai Hardy @CoachKaiHardy]

@DMVHoopsLive are we able to watch replays of the games of we buy the streaming pass?

[Kai Hardy @CoachKaiHardy]

@_AndyFitzgerald Thank you so much! [email protected]

[Kai Hardy @CoachKaiHardy]

@_AndyFitzgerald Hey Coach, I read your book about analytics. Wondering if you were still willing to share those spreadsheet you mentioned throughout the book?

[Kai Hardy @CoachKaiHardy]

Juniorrrrrrrr🐶🐶

[Colby Giacubeno @ColbyGHoops]

Sign me up whenever ‘27 Mt. Carmel/@TeamThrillUAA Junior Mancho laces up. Extremely difficult to find a big with a better motor & now nearing 6’9” with a frame that continues to fill out, he’s becoming an absolute force at both ends. Communicates excellent defensively & improving as a lob catcher.

Must see this month for college coaches.
