  • Patrick School Reloading With Taylor, Bezhanishvili

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    After winning the New Jersey Tournament of Champions title and losing six seniors to Division 1 programs, The Patrick School is reloading.

    Atiba Taylor, the 6-foot-3 combo guard from Hackensack (N.J.) High and the Sports U AAU program, has enrolled at the Hillside school, his father told ZAGSBLOG, adding that Taylor will then spend a year at prep school in 2018-19.

    “I will be reclassifying into the 2019 class,” Taylor previously told ZAGSBLOG.

    Taylor holds offers from Kansas State, St. Joe’s, Temple and Monmouth. His father said UConn also offered “but is interested for the 2019 class.”

    Meantime, the Celtics went international by adding 6-10 senior Giorgi Bezhanishvili of Austria.

    The program also returns rising senior forward Valdir Manuel and rising junior guard Al-Amir Dawes.

    The Patrick School sent six players to D-1 programs last year: Walker, Nick Richards (Kentucky), Jamir Harris (Minnesota), Marcus McClary (Monmouth), Buay Koka and Bul Ajang (Tulane).
