Georgetown, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and Maryland are also on his list." Also at Boo Williams Invitational. |

Telep's take from Boo: "Desmond Hubert will wind up being one of the top shot blockers in the class."

Evan Daniels from Pitt Jam Fest:
"Hubert, a 6-foot-9 post prospect, was swatting away every shot he could get a hand on. Because of his length, athleticism and timing, Hubert is a terrific shot blocker and may challenge Rakeem Christmas for tops in the 2011 class in that category. We’d still like to see him add a go-to move inside as well as some muscle to his frame, but he’s hard not to like as a player."
Same article Hubert claims offers from Pitt, UCONN, Va. Tech, Xavier and Maryland with interest from UNC, Duke, Texas, Wake Forest and Georgia Tech.

That post says he is 2012? Typo or did he reclassify?

Does anyone have an update on why we never offered, "the best shotblocker in the class" per rivals? High character and a good student, you would think he would be a strong fit as a Hoya. Were we just never really in on him or what? He is cutting his list to 6 on Sunday.

Good question....I forgot about him from back in June until this post. Two visits by him shows he must have had at least some interest in GU. Maybe too close to Moses? At this point, unless there are some surprises in line, that may not be too bad.

Are we sure the Hoyas did not offer? I know it's been hot and cold but never heard on an offer one way or the other. Where did you see he is cutting his list?

I saw it on Rivals. It was in the video section where he says Sunday he will cut it down to 5 or 6.

This kid is the real deal...athletic, shot blocker. Hope he makes it in the NCAA's if he doesn't end up at a rival. If any of our bigs are transferring...

He's a very good shot blocker and runs the floor well. He's down to UNC or Md. and although he needs to gain some serious weight , the kid has come along way. He has problems with heavier post players in the box , but uses his speed and bounce well.
