Virginia Tech is one of at least four schools to have offered St. Anne’s-Belfield star shooting guard/wing forward Jose Garcia. Garcia, a rising senior, averaged 22 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists as junior last season.

“Jose’s been offered by Florida State, Virginia Tech, Georgetown, and Richmond,” St. Anne’s Head Coach Phil Stinnie said. “I’m pretty sure Michigan State and Louisville will offer too. When coaches tell you that they are ‘very, very, very interested’ in a player, that usually means something.”

Garcia’s biggest strength is, well, his strength. At 6-4, 205 pounds, he is extremely strong, and he knows how to use it according to Coach Stinnie.

“Jose’s strength is his body,” Stinnie said. “He’s very strong and he knows how to use it. His first step is one of the best I’ve seen. He may not be the fastest or quickest, but his first step will free him up out of any situation. He may not be the greatest athlete, but he is a good one and he knows how to finish around the basket. He can run the floor with anybody.
