I'm assuming this isn't serious.
No way he stays, correct?

It will certainly be one or the other.

He will likely leave, but I would at least think the emotion of this game will make it slightly more difficult since he was a key reason for the L.

Realistically, who cares, we couldn't do it with three MCD's all-americans, why not try it again with two or less. I have followed this team for 26 years, mostly quietly observing. However, this team had no fire, no Michael Graham or Perry McDonald to put it in your face. These boys, no matter how much revered, never had it. The Junior High Girls team I just finished coaching instilled more fear than this team.
I have travelled 2000 miles for the last three seasons to support this team. I have always given them the benefit of the doubt. The sad fact is, we play soft, and we got beat with a stick, and couldn't fight back.
Bring back the men, bring back the fight. Stick it someone else face and let them react to it.

he just said "no" to the question about this being his last game in a GU uniform Greg is a class act. I won't even hold it against him if he decides to change his mind in a few weeks. Where are you watching post-game, big 16? |

Good luck & props to Greg regardless of his decision. It's really a shame how some of our "fans" do not appreciate our guys.

I'd really hate to see Greg, one of the most talented players I've ever seen in a Hoyas uniform, leave without winning an NCAA game.

Trying to be as fair as possible to the kid after one of the most disappointing efforts in school history...
Greg's numbers improved this year compared to last year. Part of it was his own improvement; he got a bit stronger and that definitely increased his scoring and rebounding numbers. His handle improved marginally, and the work he put in to increase his endurance definitely showed.
However, the same concerns that many pro scouts have had about him all year really haven't been alleviated. Too many times he still disappears, despite the fact this year's team was much better about getting him touches than last year's team. For the most part he's still a below-the-rim type player; the kind of guy who wants to shoot layups and fadeaways moreso than taking the ball to the tin and dunking over someone. And I'd also bring up suspect maturity; too much yapping at the refs, too much yapping at teammates, and not enough assuming of responsibility as a team leader.
Could another year help him? I think so. He could stand to work on several aspects of his game, such as defense (totally non-existent today along with everyone else), a consistently competent move to his right, and free throw shooting are a few I can think of off the top of my head. And a prolonged run in the NCAA tournament where he contributed heavily to the team's success probably wouldn't hurt his stock either.
Bottom line is the last 2 games really exposed his flaws. As a friend of mine put it, "I know if I have a lottery pick, a kid who couldnt carry his team past a 7-9 MAC team is not the guy I want bring my NBA team back to the playoffs." I agree wholeheartedly with this. In my estimation, any NBA team taking him with a top-10 pick RIGHT NOW is doing themselves a disservice.

I'm guessing Greg Monroe has pressures on him that few, if any, on this board can fathom. I base this on the article the NY Times recently had about his single mom and the role Greg played in pulling together his family post-Katrina. If it helps Greg in his life, I hope that dude runs for the NBA money. He can do like Jeff Green and take a class or two during the summer. |

I agree wholeheartedly with this. In my estimation, any NBA team taking him with a top-10 pick RIGHT NOW is doing themselves a disservice. For what it's worth, I've mostly seen him projected as the #7 pick in the draft, and EVERYONE I've seen has him going in the top 10. So, you're entitled to your opinion, but that opinion just isn't consistent with the consensus. This kid's gonna be a top 10 pick - that's tough to pass up. |

Of course we hope Greg comes back, and part of me says that he enjoys college, enjoys the guys he plays with, and knows that he has big improvements he still needs to make. He needs more strength, more consistency, better defensive technique - but of course those things can be worked on at the pro level as well. He has had some great games and has led us to victory a number of times, and had some disappointing games. If he goes, we will miss him, but no one could blame him. I just hope he stays.
