We can really use his shooting any season...you act as if we don't already have good shooters on the roster.
That being said, this is ridiculously good news!

This tells me one Stephen wants to get to the NBA as soon as possible and two that JTIII thinks we can win it all this year.

Yes, there is currently an open scholarship. There is NOT an open scholarship for 2013 on paper, but if you don't think we will be signing anyone in that class I have a bridge for sale.

SD's early arrival has no impact on the 2013 schollie situation. He is merely starting his OWN schollie a year earlier - and we have an open slot in 2012 -- the same slot SD would take in 2013.
Now, will all players currently on the roster still be on the roster 12 months from now? Hardly likely for a variety of possible reasons: - NBA - Lack of PT - Health issues - And let's never forget the French Foreign Legion

I can't access the article. Has Domingo finished his high school work? Taken the SATs? As a general rule, a kid who has just completed his junior year in high school can't just up and decide to go to college, can he/she?
I do recall that he's quite bright, and was also looking at Harvard/Stanford, but still, I'd like some elucidation on this.

It's a private school and it's just a matter of breaking its own policies and procedures. For NBA eligibility, I believe you do need to either graduate or have a ged, plus the eligibility often requires an SAT (but his GPA may be so high it's not needed). Perhaps they are not intending on having him play first semester or first year? Either way, I took my SAT in my junior year and probably had all my NCAA core classes done by then.

At a HS like St. Ignatius in SF, I would bet that EVERY Jr. takes the SATs in the Spring. Pretty common... at least it was back in the day.

Born in his hometown of San Francisco, Calif., on May 9, 1995.
That would make him 17, as an incoming Freshman. Plus he's thin.
I don't expect him to make a huge impact this year, but he could be a valuable shooter off the bench. Meanwhile, he'll be learning the system and his teammates and be light years ahead for next year.

That's really young for his grade.

I don't know what "huge" means, but I'm not writing him off because of his size or age. We've had young players, and while none are at the height of their potential at that point, some have made an impact. As for size, if the guy plays SF or SG, is his size going to kill him? On offense, he'd likely be used for spacing and cuts to the basket. On defense, how often will III match him up with a man who can really take advantage of his lack of strength. This isn't the NBA, where every 2/3 can muscle you to the hole. I have no huge expectations, but if his shot translates well, I expect him to contribute.

I'd argue that the physical gap between high school and college is bigger, or at least as big, as the gap between college and the NBA. Let me clarify I agree with the majority of your post, just not the part about how often he will be in a situation where he can be overpowered.

Thanks to all for the information.
Starting one's senior year in high school at 17 is not particularly young; starting college at 17 is pretty young, but certainly not unprecedented - I was 17 when I entered GU.

I was 17 when I started at GU too. It's young but not that young. Obviously the kid is smart, at least he can be putting in work with our coaching staff and the rest of the guys on the team, which will in the end make him a better player when he is ready to contribute.

I knew a few people, including my present girlfriend, who entered Georgetown after their junior year of high school. One turned 16 during NSO weekend. None were athletes.

Let me clarify I agree with the majority of your post, just not the part about how often he will be in a situation where he can be overpowered. Not sure if I understand what you mean by the "physical gap", but I have asked several professional athletes which was the bigger jump, high school to college, or college to pros. To a person, they all said college to the pros. FWIW, Peyton Manning said that in high school, passing was like hitting a stationary bus. In college, passing was like hitting a moving car. In the pros, passing is like throwing the ball through the window of a moving car. That speaks more to skill level than physical level, though. Since we are bringing the kid in early, staff must feel he is ready to contribute, physically and otherwise. We have no history of redshirting for non medical reasons, so I expect him to dress, and play if he earns the time.
