With Cox to Rutgers and the Jordan Goodman development, I'd venture to guess the staff is feeling less secure in signing Ty. There's no real comparable there. While Cox was the lead on Ty, the relationship between Cox and Goodman was a special one that isn't replicated often. I'm sure Hunter or whomever has a little ground to make up, but Ty has been to GU at least a couple of times, IIRC, and I'm sure he knows Thompson pretty well. That's what counts.

Either way, it's Nova or GU for Ty.

I like Daniels. Looks like a shorter Toby Bailey to Bronxie. I love players with bounce. Again I saw Ty play vs Kyrie Irving last year and I was not impressed.

From Rivals' Eric Bossi at NBPA camp:
"Bishop Daniels, SG, Raleigh (N.C.) Word of God- Well known for his ridiculous athleticism, the 6-foot-2 dunking machine has worked hard to round out his game. Thursday night he was under control for smooth 17 foot pull-up jumpers, he shared the ball and he played good defense. He's going to heat up in July with more outings like this."

From ESPN.com's coverage of opening day at NBPA:
"Highlight of the day Off a steal in the morning game session, Bishop Daniels (Raleigh, N.C./ Word of God) jumped from outside of the lane for an impressive one-handed dunk by extending the ball behind his head. He is a high-energy wing with freakish athletic ability. On this particular dunk, his head seemed to be at rim level and the dunk was worthy of a slam dunk contest, but was executed in a game."
I'm getting visions of Shannon Brown with this kid.

I'll take it either way. Get him some time with Vee an Markel and he'll be fine. Not sure if I want him to be the 1 right away (that is unless he was the #1 option his freshman year, which I hope not)

Balla posted this video of Bishop the other day on his site: www.ballislife.com/I'm starting to think that we could take both Bishop and Tyrone together. Both combo guards who could interchange effectively at the 1/2.

Both combo guards who could interchange effectively at the 1/2. I think until proven otherwise the Hoyas need to bring in two quality bigs, a SF and a guard. With the four schollies for 2011 that leaves no room IMO, for bringing in two combo guards.

Two combo guards wouldn't be a problem as long as we land a big and a SF. Ideally I would prefer two bigs and a SF but with Moses and Lubick on campus we dont necessarily have to have two bigs in '11. An athlete of Bishop's caliber doesn't come along every year. At least not to GU. It would be nice to see a guard be able to breakdown a D and score on defenders or draw and kick.

Kid reminds Bronxie of a Miles Simon with athletic ability.
Now let me tell you why this kid is better for the program than Ty. Assuming this kid can play and will play he is a highlight waiting to happen. He will be on sportscenter on a nightly basis especially considering our back door cuts he will be given ample chances to finish at the rim. That will go a long way in changing our image as a program. When the average person thinks Gtown right now they mention our slow offense. This kid could change that false perception quickly because he flashy and exciting.

Miles Simon? That's a blast from the past. Wasn't he mainly notable for not being super athletic but having crafty moves and a somewhat jerky style? Seems like a stretch. I think he was also several inches taller.
I agree with you to a point that it's a nice bonus to have a kid who puts on a highlight show, and being able to jump and finish is actually a useful basketball skill. Whether he can shoot, dribble, and defend is definitely the first thing though. I don't know if he can or can't, but that's what we need to evaluate. Every year, a bunch of kids graduate college who can jump through the roof but never make a splash because bball is a skill game. If you're stuck inside because it's 100 degrees out, here's a good way to kill 2 minutes:

Miles Simon was neither super athletic nor crafty. The way he moves reminded me of Miles. I think they are almost about the same size which is the reason I backed off the Tobe Bailey comparison because TB was taller and more powerfully built.
In my statement I offered a caveat. I said assuming he can play which I will since he is being recruited by many BCS schools.

I am not quite as gung-ho on Daniels as some others. Sure he has hops, but when has that really mattered for a Georgetown guard? I'm a lot more concerned about whether or not he can shoot it. Rivers and Sapp were pretty athletic, but their inability to make outside shots was, at least at times, a pretty big problem. Contrast that with a guy like Jon Wallace who was athletically limited but who could knock it down, and who was our most successful guard under JTIII.
Of course, in a recent update Daniels said that his outside shot has really been improving, and if that's true, sign him up, because he's athletic enough to be very good in all other areas.
If recent history is an indication, I expect that a) Hoyatalk will become fascinated by Daniels over the next few months and b) the staff will not seem to show as much interest in him as we do, and will (for no apparent reason) fail to offer him.

Daniels has been to Georgetown 2 times in past 3 weeks--so I'd say they are interested. He's type of guy who I like--because he possesses the things you can't teach--and the areas he needs improvement in--you can teach/improve. He'd be able to develop as well--but if you are looking at a more polished guard that is Wallace like-Chassan Randle from Illinois is your guy. Hoyas made top 6 after getting involved late--and he's open to leaving Midwest--but a lot of suitors after him-Duke, Kansas, Stanford, and yes he takes academics seriously.

Everything I've read points to him having a pretty nice shot. If he does, he sounds like a great fit.

As important as those other things are I dont see much of a problem using a scholarship on a type of player that can bring energy and be a highlight reel. I'm sure his handle isn't so bad that he will turn the ball over by simply dribbling around in the half-court. Other basketball skills are important, but it is also important to have a high-caliber, high-level athlete like this kid on the squad. I mean cant be much worse than the schollies we wasted on Omar or Nikita...
