Georgia Tech Officially Signs Jaeden Mustaf and Cole Kirouac
Georgia Tech Basketball officially signed two talented prospects today.
Four-star guard Jaeden Mustaf and three-star center Cole Kirouac signed their letters of intent today and both players are going to be key pieces of the future for head coach Damon Stoudamire.
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, 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).
What did Stoudamire have to say about signing these players?
“Jaeden has a lot of potential. He’s a really physical guard, strong and mature, and I’m looking forward to coaching him,” said Stoudamire. “I’ve loved Cole from the first time I saw him because he has so much potential. I have no doubt he’ll impact our program in a major way.”
When it comes to Kirouac, Stoudamire thinks his best basketball is coming.
“I’m not putting any cap on him, but his best basketball is down the road,” said Stoudamire. “The way we like to play, offensively, he’s going to be really good. Defensively, he can block shots and defend really well. The biggest thing for us and Cole is to make sure he keeps getting stronger.”
Georgia Tech is 1-0 this season and goes for their second win tomorrow at home against Howard at 7:30.
