Found a pretty good article about the Hoyas from sportsline.com

www.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/8135027


Best part:

The freshmen, which also includes reserve Tyler Crawford, realize this could be the start of something special. If none of them bolt early for the NBA - Green, especially, will be tempted if he keeps improving at this pace - the predictions of an also-ran Georgetown in the soon-to-be-expanded Big East will have been premature.

"We talk about that a lot," Hibbert said. "All four of us together, including Tyler Crawford, we're a family, we go out together and everything. We have a bond that's special. And for four years, we're here together."


Let's hope that's the case!
Go Hoyas!

I'd be happy if the guys stayed for just 3...I think anything after that is 'gravy'...

Whether they stay or go, get that degree...

Nothing about Cornelio.

"All four of us together"

Aren't there 5 frosh (JG, RH, JW, TC, and CG)?

Typo, misquote? Or ...

Its a beautiful piece. Its great to see how belief in one's own ability goes a long way. We ARE Georgetown.

Nodak, I have a feeling Tyler is referring to he and his suitemates (Those four live together). However, even if the sentiment was not meant, the implication...

Thanks for the info.

I wouldn't read too much into it, clearly Hibbert is referring to a group of friends within the team that hangs out together. Its not shocking that given that Cornelio comes from a different background and doesn't live with the other guys that he is not as close friends with them.

Also, even if it wasn't a misquote, there could have been a preceeding conversation with the reporter, along the lines of:

"So the four of you live together? Will you live together all four years?"

Such that the narrowing / exclusion of CG was not done by Roy, but by the reporter. This type of thing OFTEN happens in articles such as this.

[SoCalHoya]

living together can create that mentality, but I'm sure they're all friends in and out of practice. Especially when one of them "accidentally" eats the other's pizza....wouldn't want to face Roy (ROY ROY ROY!) when he's hungry.

That article was AWESOME. Really makes me proud to be a Hoya and support the players. A couple of things I noticed that are cool:

The threesome have not only embraced the share-the-ball mentality of the Princeton offense, but also the Georgetown behavioral model that is so much the antithesis of the stereotypical modern athlete.

Makes you proud to be a Hoya, doesn't it? And it helps to quiet that nagging voice that asks if big time college sports are actually accomplishing what they should be, as opposed to just being a minor league for the pros.

"It wouldn't be pretty if I told you how," the coach said. "It's not always fun. Some lessons are hard-learned."

That would have been an interesting couple of practices to peek in on. I have the feeling that there were some very sore bball players after those.

"It's too early to tell whether I'm impressed with this group or not," Thompson said. "Check with me in April. ... I don't think it's good to look at the big picture. I don't think it's good to start thinking about wins and losses and this team or that team, you have to go out and prepare for the next game like that's the game - and that's how it's done. That's how we're approaching our year."

Has anyone seen lichoya and JT3 together? Or seen JT3 use punctuation when he types? Hmmmm.....

[aggypryd]

can someone send me or post the text?

Darn firewall...

[Simian Prime]

I really think that the four year attendance model will become the norm at GU. I really think that the educational opprotubity will be taken into consideration, and the kids will stay. We will get back to percentages of retention like we had with JT2

I sure hope we can keep our guys for all four years. However, I think that it is inevitable that many players will leave early if we once again reach the upper echelon of college teams. Hopefully Georgetown can buck the trend!

Go Hoyas!

Awesome article. I love Roy's quote so much that it's going in my signature.

Beat BC Baby!!

[GUHoya07]

That is a truly awesome article!!! I felt so great reading it and having that group together for 4 years would be so amazing, I really hope it happens!!!
