For those with ESPN Insider: insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?name=katz_andyHere are some choice snippets: (first sentence) "What's not to like about Georgetown right now?" "It's cool to be a Hoya again...The Big East doesn't need the New York-area schools to stay atop in the country. But the Big East did need a renaissance in the District. Georgetown is a national name. St. John's, Seton Hall and Rutgers are not. The Hoyas who are now shaping up to be a league title rival with Louisville for years to come. (Memo to Syracuse, Pitt, Connecticut, Marquette and Villanova: The chase to stay with Louisville and G'town is on.)"...Getting to the Final Four should put to rest a lot of the [negative] recruiting about the style of play," JT3 said of the knock some opponents would try to play on the elements of the Princeton style that clearly hasn't inhibited Thompson's success...So far in practice, the Hoyas are evolving with more of an emphasis on Hibbert's post production...The loss early in the season on the perimeter with Chris Wright's broken foot shouldn't be too much of an issue. The Hoyas are deepest on the perimeter with Jonathan Wallace (clearly the most underrated lead guard in the country), Jessie Sapp, Jeremiah Rivers and Tyler Crawford." There's a good deal more, but, so as to not Edited off the moderators, I won't cut and paste. Basically, I think his first sentence hits the nail on the head and echoes many of the sentiments expressed on this board. The Hoyas are back and not going anywhere for a long while! |

That post was major man-love. He's always liked us, but still no reason to complain.
Now as for Gotdweeb...

Georgetown appeals to Monroe

What's not to like about Georgetown right now?
The Hoyas are coming off a Final Four appearance.
A potential lottery pick in Roy Hibbert chose to stay in school because he likes it.
The Big East Player of the Year Jeff Green was the No. 5 pick in the draft and was praised for his unselfish play while playing for the Hoyas.
John Thompson III just received a long-term contract, proving that the Hoyas aren't as cheap as their reputation in coaching circles.
Nike's name attached to the Hoyas is still a strong tie that players can relate to, especially in the summer scene.
John Thompson's Hall of Fam at practice and at games.
Georgetown big men alumni like Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo are still loyal.

"The loss early in the season on the perimeter with Chris Wright's broken foot shouldn't be too much of an issue. The Hoyas are deepest on the perimeter with Jonathan Wallace (clearly the most underrated lead guard in the country), Jessie Sapp, Jeremiah Rivers and Tyler Crawford."
Interesting that he calls JW "clearly the most underrated lead guard in the country". I think J-Wall is getting so much praise for being underrated that who knows, by the time March rolls around he might be overrated. I don't think so, but you never know. Once someone is branded with the "underrated" tag, talking heads tend to repeat it over and over again until it's lost its meaning.

The only people I've seen mention the Rainmaker are Bilas, Majerus and his 360 shooter concept, and now Katz. Of course Sir Charles offered to "pull some strings" for him to get into Auburn back in march |

Am I the only one who seems to be bothered by being lumped together with Louisville? Something just doesn't pass the smell test...

a lot of talent in the 'ville; doesn't always translate into championships, but Pitino has been knocking on the door recently. I'd be worried if GU still had Esh. What they have to prove is that they can consistently execute in the halfcourt, both offensively and defensively, vs. patient, deliberate (see hoyas) teams. Very difficult to run with them.

He's hurt. He's not being redshirted necessarily.

Bingo. You get overrated for; 1. Playing for Duke 2. Dribbling fancy-like If Lofton can't get overrated, how can Wallace? The three best shooters in the nation are these guys along with another guy I dare you to name from A&M. No chance Wallace is ever overrated. |
