Mayoum Mayoum, an explosive 6’4” SG out of The Potter’s House Christian Academy High School in Jacksonville Academy, has been offered a scholarship by LMU head coach Stan Johnson.

Mayoum, who was born in Khartoum, Egypt and grew up in Melbourne, Australia, played his high school basketball in Florida, first at DME Academy and then at The Potter’s House Christian Academy. He is in the class of 2020 and would come in as a freshman in the fall.

The rangy, athletic Mayoum is quick and fast, which enables him to break down defenses and relentlessly take the ball to the hoop. He is quick off the floor and seems to be able to hang in the air as he throws down some serious dunkage.

Coach Johnson has said he wants hard-working, tenacious players with high ceilings, and Mayoum certainly fits the bill.

But don’t take our word for it, check this video and gape for yourself:

Mayoum is a good player now with a work ethic and love for the game that gives him that high ceiling that can be reached by receiving top coaching and putting in the hard work that it takes to be the best. He would be a terrific player for the Lions.

Mayoum has gotten a lot of interest from a lot of good schools, including Auburn, Georgetown, Wyoming, McNeese State, Mississippi State, Canisus and Stetson.

We would love for Mayoum Mayoum to come to LMU and become a Lion Lion!

Jahmai Mashack, A 6’4″ SR Guard out of Rancho Cucamonga’s Etiwanda High School, has received an offer from head coach Stan Johnson to become an LMU Lion.

Mashack is the son of former LMU star Elton Mashack, a smooth 6’5” forward who thrilled LMU fans from 1997 to 2001.

Mashack, a 4-Star Senior, would be a huge get for Coach Stan Johnson and the Lions. He is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 81 overall player in the Class of 2021 and the No. 4 player from the state of California. He’s a high motor, tough, tenacious defender who has the athleticism and work ethic to thrive in college. Here’s a video that highlights some of his skills:

Besides being a top basketball prospect, Mashack comes across as a bright, engaging, team-oriented player. See for yourself in this post-game interview:

The LA Times reports Mashack as having offers from Liberty, Pepperdine, UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly. Verbal Commits has him holding offers from Oklahoma, Utah and Colorado. Various reports from a variety of sources have him talking to California, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon State, Gonzaga, Texas Tech, Florida State and Kansas, among others.

That’s quite the competition!  Hopefully Jahmai has grown up sleeping in LMU PJs and has an Iggy bobblehead on his shelf!

Go Lions!
