## Resource

Georgia Tech just got a basketball beast — 6-foot-10 Latvian forward Ilja Kurucs, who’s already making waves internationally. After averaging nearly 8 points and 6 rebounds in the Estonian-Latvian league and shining in the adidas NextGen EuroLeague with Zalgiris Kaunas — including a team-high 15 points in the championship game — Kurucs is bringing elite European experience to the Yellow Jackets. He also lit up the FIBA U18 Eurobasket tournament with hustle and scoring. Joining a loaded recruiting class that includes players from Mexico and Senegal, Kurucs fits perfectly under Coach Scott Cross’s vision to build a new ACC powerhouse. With a storied program history and this fresh talent infusion, the future looks bright for Georgia Tech basketball. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
