One of the more intriguing talents in high school basketball's Class of 2019 is on the move … again.

Writer/broadcaster/scout Sky Smith reported via Twitter on Friday that 7-foot-3 Chol Marial will join upstart IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) this fall.

Marial, originally from Sudan, is regarded as Top 10 prospect in the rising junior class by 247Sports.

The towering center has passed through several schools since making his varsity high school debut as an eighth-grader at West Oaks (Orlando, Fla.). There was also a stop at Arlington Country Day (Jacksonville, Fla.) before heading to Cheshire Academy (Cheshire, Conn.).

In recent months he has been linked to CGM Prep in Arizona and a Canadian prep school.

IMG should be a stable landing spot for Marial. Coming off a 26-2 season, the program made a home run hire in June by bringing on former St. John's (Washington, D.C.) head coach Sean McAloon.
