Washington Post: Chalk up a big one for George Washington Coach Mike Lonergan and his staff.

The Colonials landed Montrose Christian center Kevin Larsen on Monday, adding to a significant recruiting haul that also includes All-Met guards Kethan Savage of Episcopal and Joe McDonald of Landon.

GW also has signed 6-5 Argentine swingman Patricio Garino of Montverde (Fla.) Academy and 6-9 forward Paris Maragkos, a Greek native who played at the Blue Ridge School in St. George, Va.
