FIU MBB Targeting Experienced Forward From USC Upstate

On Tuesday, following the departures of Arturo Dean, Petar Krivokapic, and Mohamed Sanogo, head coach Jeremy Ballard wasted no time going after his 2024-25 roster as reports say he is targeting South Carolina Upstate Spartans transfer Ahmir Langlais.

This past season Langlais averaged 8.8 points per game, 6.2 rebounds, 0.7 assists, and shot 55.1% from the field. He was a part of a Spartans team in the Big South Conference that went 10-20 and 5-11 in their conference.

Langlais’s team did make it up to the conference championship game but fell short.

Standing at 6’9″, 225 pounds, the Atlanta product will provide a size for the Panthers in the sense that Ballard can pair him up with Jonathan Aybar or Okechukwu Okeke.
