Scout Report
The former top-70 national recruit has made the jump to SEC basketball, bringing his 6-8 frame and developing skill set to the college hardwood.
Background
Hailing from Bradenton, Florida, Stagg honed his craft at the prestigious IMG Academy, where he competed alongside elite talent including top-10 prospects Darius Acuff Jr. and future stars Bamba Touray and Dylan Betts. His time in IMG's elite program prepared him for the rigors of high-major basketball. Ranked #69 nationally in the 2025 recruiting class, Stagg committed to Georgia and has already enrolled to begin his college career.
Playing Style
At 6-8, Stagg possesses the size and length to be an effective interior presence on both ends of the floor. His development at IMG Academy has helped refine his post moves and footwork, making him a viable scoring option in the paint. While still growing into his frame, he shows flashes of mid-range shooting ability that could expand his offensive repertoire. Defensively, his length allows him to contest shots and protect the rim, though consistency in his motor and positioning will be key areas for continued improvement at the college level.
Recruitment
Now a Georgia Bulldog, Stagg's focus shifts from recruitment to making an immediate impact in the SEC. His ceiling as a versatile big man who can score inside and potentially stretch the floor makes him an intriguing piece for Georgia's frontcourt rotation. The experience gained from competing against elite competition at IMG Academy should serve him well as he adjusts to the speed and physicality of college basketball.
