Tatunciac was one of the splashy international transfers for Mount Carmel this summer as the Cougars look to defend their MIAA A Conference crown and recapture their BCL bragging rights from two seasons ago. The 6-foot-8 Ukraine native possesses sound footwork operating on the block or the mid post and has shown established touch on his jumper extending beyond the arc from the corners this fall. He’s much more fluid of a mover and athlete than I had originally thought. Head coach Tony Martin will have plenty of flexibility within his lineups this season and Tatunciac is a big reason why given his versatility to play the 3-5 positions when called upon.

A 6-foot-9 forward originally from Ukraine, Tatunciac arrives in Baltimore via Sunrise Christian Academy (KS). He turned in a standout summer performance for Ukraine at the FIBA U18 EuroBasket Division B tournament, where he tied for the team lead in both scoring and rebounding. Tatunciac carried that momentum into early October at The Challenge, displaying impressive two-way versatility and court presence. His size and inside-outside scoring ability give Mount Carmel and coach Tony Martin a high-impact weapon this season.
