The University of Miami Hurricanes men's basketball team has added an intriguing prospect to their roster, with Kyshawn George announcing his commitment to the Canes. The 6'7" Swiss native has experienced a remarkable growth spurt, growing 10 inches in just three and a half years. George was previously playing second division professional basketball in France, where he averaged 17.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
George is considered a guard, which adds another layer of intrigue to his skillset. Standing at 6-foot-7, it will be interesting to see how his game develops at Miami. In a few appearances with the senior team at Chalon, he shot an impressive 38.5% from the three-point line, going 15-39.
Kyshawn George's background is particularly interesting, as he hails from Switzerland and comes from the same French club, Elan Chalon, that produced NBA talents Thabo Sefolosha and Clint Capela. With a similar body type to Jordan Miller, George is expected to bring versatility and athleticism to the Canes' lineup. His father, Deon George, was also a professional basketball player overseas in Switzerland and France.
The Canes managed to secure George's commitment over other top programs, including Baylor. According to a French publication, Chalon had hoped to keep him around for another year or two before he entered the NBA draft pool. However, his decision to join the Miami Hurricanes will give him the opportunity to showcase his skills on a larger stage and further develop his game at the collegiate level.
While there is limited film available on Kyshawn George due to his time in the second division of French pro basketball, early indications suggest he could be a valuable addition to the Canes' roster. Miami looks to add another 2-3 players to this recruiting class via the transfer portal.
