David Majak is an HS senior playing at Dream City Christian, Class of 2024, is 7ft tall and 195 lbs. And YES, he plays the 5.
SDUT 9.22.23
"... San Diego State’s basketball team will host two prep recruits on Friday — one under the radar and one positively not.
Coming on an official campus visit is Thokbor “David” Majak, a 7-footer born in South Sudan who is a senior at Dream City Christian High School in Glendale, Ariz. He has uniquely agile feet and hands for a person his size but needs to put on weight and would likely be a redshirt candidate as a freshman. .... Majak may commit as soon as next week."
SDSU already has one commitment for 2024 in versatile 6-5 wing Taj Degourville from Las Vegas. Pharaoh Compton, a bruising 6-8 forward who plays on Degourville’s club team, visited last month and has the Aztecs in his final five alongside LSU, Tennessee, Iowa and UNLV. Brody Kozlowski, a 6-7 shooter from Utah, has visited as well.

Here's what I could find via Twitter. Raw talent, 7'0+ is a nice starting point. FYI - Majak is expected to attend the football game Friday night at Snapdragon Stadium against Boise State, but he won’t see a basketball practice. I assume that Aguek Arop will be critical as would Magoon Gwath, in helping get this 7-footer from So Sudan to SDSU.

Is it my imagination or are the Aztecs stepping up getting better recruits?

THANKs Gundo for posting. With the AG hiring this has the potential of bringing in a direct pipeline of players to SDSU. This a way
to build a great relationship withIn this area of Sudan. Nothing has more meaning then having a former player/now coach and a current player
coming in to Sudan. AG hiring looks like a win/win on so many fronts. Super happy for AG.
For Thokbor will need to add some major weight. I hope he likes Burritos and rolled tacos. Based on your clip dude is not a stiff, looks to be good on his feet, and can handle the ball
at times as a big man.

BTW, those Twitter videos are really old, I think the footage is from 2019, or 2020 before entering the NBA Africa Academy ?? |

SDUT 10.9.23
"SDSU could get answers from two recruits in the next week or so. Pharaoh Compton and Thokbor “David” Majak, who took official campus visits recently, are expected to announce commitments soon.
....Majak is a raw 7-footer from South Sudan with promising agility who has been playing basketball for only a few years. He attends Dream City Christian High in the Phoenix area."

This will make Stan happy. Now we are going to need to put some weight on our last two 7 foot recruits. This sets us up well for the next several years.. Makes us have viable options at the 1,2, 4 and 5 in the future. Compton would be a huge get for us if he comes here. Fingers crossed.

Another good get. He's from Sudan so I expect some of the credit to get him here is due to Arop. Does need to add bulk but when a kid grows to 7 foot by the age of 18 that is to be expected.

agree sure helps having AG around to assist in the recruiting
think that MG is being groomed as a 4 as he is more of an outside shooter but is just coming off an injury -
not sure if the Aztecs had a scrimmage Saturday - should get updates from Zeigler

How good is he? I can’t find a single thing about him from any recruiting service and outside his team profile the only thing showing up online is his mention in Ziegler articles.
