Recruiting Report: George Conditt (2018)
This time every year there are a few new names that start creating buzz in recruiting circles. One of those names coming out of the spring live period is Corliss 2018 center George Conditt. The Corliss 6’10” 2018 center didn’t get much attention during the high school season despite putting up fairly productive numbers. In our first evaluation of him at Indy Live during the second live period we came away impressed and intrigued with the Chicago post. He has a long and lean frame that he will need to add significant weight on to over the next year to be ready for college. As an interior scorer he makes quick moves with the ball. Soft touch around the hoop. Lacks the strength to finish through bigger defenders at this stage. Likes to utilize a face up game. Good form on his jump shot. Connected on a one dribble pull up from mid-range along with a step back three. Shoots it with confidence. Missed a few, but they were sound shots. Showed he could put it on the deck a couple dribbles. Quality rebounder that uses his length to grab boards at the highest point. Most impressive play was an offensive rebound he grabbed out of his area and then drilled a floater. Runs the floor with ease and had a smooth transition dunk. Defensively he contests shots as he changed a couple of jumpers and blocked a shot recovering after his man beat him off the bounce. He went for 16 points and 6 boards. D1 prospect. We will need to see him again to determine level, but definitely a D1 player.
PHI caught up with Conditt to see how his junior was at Corliss.
“We did pretty good. We couldn’t make state because a lot of players couldn’t qualify, but I think next year we will make a run at state. I think I did pretty good. I put myself out there. Not a lot of people knew me.”
According to Conditt he averaged approximately 17 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 blocks per game as a junior. He spoke about what the strengths are in his game.
“Going to the basket. My perimeter game now because I have worked on it.”
Although he is already an effective rim protector he wants to make more growth on that side of the ball.
“I am trying to work on my defensive areas. I can get blocks I understand that, but still I have to be able to sit down and guard.”
This spring he is playing with Team RWA on the circuit. He spoke about it and what his goals are.
“I love this team. They are my brothers. I am looking to show I am the best power forward in the state of Illinois.”
Good start to the circuit by landing a pair of offers recently.
“I got an offer from UTEP and Chicago State. I want to go on visits to both of them.”
Iowa State and Wisconsin have both expressed interest in him as well. What will he look for in a program?
“A place that I can have my family around.”
