2021 G/F George Mangas – Ohio’s reigning Player of the Year in Division II looks more than ready to try his hand at the award for a second straight season. In a competitive and upbeat open gym environment, Mangas was special with nearly every catch of the basketball. Pouring in shots from all over the floor, he showed his ability to knock down the triple off the catch or off the dribble with a high degree of efficiency and difficulty. Was strong finishing in transition and around the rim. Came off screens hard, competed, and saw things one step ahead of everyone else on the floor. Has good size and can get it done on the defensive end of the floor. Very smart, doesn’t do a lot of talking, can flat out hoop. Currently holds an offer from Findlay, with interest from Toledo, Miami (OH), West Liberty, Fairmont State, and many others. Doesn’t get near the attention a talent of his caliber should.

Boggles doesn't it. Beat Lima Senior with their height and 2-3 DI to be players. Not short at 6'3". If a Ryan Smith and Dakota Mathias can end up at Purdue, Mangas is B10 caliber. "Interest" from Toledo in an insult. Should have had a solid offer.

Here's a Prep Hoops blurb on Mangas from Nov 6
"George Mangas, 6’4 SF Lima Shawnee 2021: Mangas had a huge high school season, helping Shawnee go unbeaten before COVID cancelled the remainder of the playoffs. Mangas continued his tear of a run with a huge summer for NW Ohio at different events in Fort Wayne. Mangas biggest games came against Indy Heat, a squad loaded with high major prospects including Meechie Johnson and Kalen Etzler
. Despite this talent, Mangas was scoring 20+ points on high efficiency in multiple games Vs Indy Heat. Mangas proved he can score the ball against top competition and I believe he is vastly under-recruited at the moment."

Mangas is about to blow up as a recruit I think. Seems to be the real deal.

there's always some guys who just don't get recruited at the level they produce for whatever reason. i wasn't too impressed w his tapes, but sometimes subtle skills and moves don't show up as well in highlight reels.
