I see him anywhere but Georgetown. No more "we can't take this guy because we have to wait for Troy". I'm sure the staff knows where they stand at this point.

Sure, it isn't over, but I really really would strongly advise against holding your breath. Something tells me he didn't tweet "I JUST GOT THE OFFER FROM GTOWN!!!! *screams* !!!!!" when we offered him.

The only thing sillier in my opinion than drawing concrete conclusions about what decision 17 year old kid will make 6 months from now by what he's thinking now is doing so by a 140 character statement. He was always going to get a UNC offer. We were always going to have to beat out UNC for him (and Kentucky). I don't see the news. Our chances are just as good (or bad) as they ever were going to be.

Of course he was always going to get the offer. It's his reaction that has people worried. But I agree, it's silly to make so much of a single tweet.

I agree, let this play out. Just because he tweeted glowingly about UNC/UK, doesn't mean much.
Just like K Anderson, right?

Far too many people are overstating how "close" Troy Williams is with the program. His Aunt coaches the women's team. The only reason he attended MM this year at Georgetown was due to his family celebrating 2 birthdays, it's not like he turned other places down and just "had" to go visit Georgetown.
We've seen time and time again the hype about Hoyas interest and it's ALWAYS with underclassmen. Focus is always on "nevermind so and so (SR) we are leading for (insert hotshot JR name)" and fact is that recruiting is fluid on a minute by minute basis and nobody can guarantee anything in terms of interest. If Calipari or Roy Williams left their schools tomorrow, would some of these kids list them? NO. Matt Doherty and Billy Gillespie couldn't consistently get the caliber of player that the coaches there now do.
I'm not worried about Hoya recruiting as long as they stick to what works--big/versatile roster. If they try to go "small" again--it'll fail. They'll get good players and be fine and that is with/without Troy Williams but let's quit with the "he's grown up with program...." Boo Williams is close with a lot of coaches and knows a ton of people and Troy Williams is very high on Kentucky and UNC and that is more then understandable. Georgetown is in the mix too--so they have a shot--but he's not leaning any way and he's not going to pick Georgetown because his Aunt coaches the women's team. He's going to pick where HE wants to go and where HE feels is best fitted for his game. If that's Hoyas, great. If not--someone else will be coming and they'll be a good prospect too.

I agree with most of that RDF, but he's close to the program and that does help. Plus he's close to Big John, which has been stated. Hoyas would have less of a chance if he didn't have those connections. That doesn't mean he'll choose Hoyas, but it gives them a good chance.

Agree with RDF. There is no need to give up or get excited. The key as RDF states is to recruit a type of player and watching this year's "long" team is much more enjoyabe than what we had the past few years. One addition thought is that family may not always be a draw--many kids want to get a little farther away from family in picking a college.

You cats are straight blind or foolish. *screams* ?? 1st, no male would type that without being completely unable to hide his excitement. Second, like someone already posted, how excited was he when he got the GTown offer? It was posted that we all knew he was going to get the UNC offer but yet he still responded like that. Troy is a Top 10 recruit. He could get an offer from every school in the country. He isnt coming to GTown unless something crazy happens at UNC. I didnt know he was "that" into UNC. That is obviously his Top choice and he will go there unless he doesn't see it being a route to the league...........time to move on.......

just move on - with the plenty wings we currently have, he is not even the most important piece for our success. very very talented sure, but we need a PG and a center - focus more on Rysheed + Noel imo
