"The weather kind of got to me, though. I haven't seen anything like that, not in the 20's. But that is something I could get used to."
With offers from Louisville, California, Washington State, Arizona State, Arkansas and Clemson, Garibay provided this breakdown of his recruitment.
"Besides Louisville, I'm interested in Memphis, Cal and Washington State. Washington State has consistently watched my games and I really appreciate that.
"I'm also getting interest from the local schools- USC and UCLA. I haven't really heard from Georgetown, but I like their history of producing big men."
Looking to make a decision between the end of the high school season and the beginning of the travel team circuit, Garibay would like to get off the west coast for a couple more school visits.
"I'd like to visit Memphis and probably the local schools," he said. "I also would like to get out to Georgetown. I'm also thinking about visiting Cal and Washington State, and maybe also Arizona State."
Garibay, the No. 82 ranked prospect in the class of 2008, is averaging 17 points and 10 rebounds per game this season.
