Any word yet if he is walking on? I would hate to lose a scholarship for him. I don't think I would say I would "hate to lose" a scholarship on Trey, but it would certainly be beneficial to save that scholarship by having him walk on.

If we have the extra scholarship this year then let Trey use it, if next year GU needs it can we not pull an Andre Drummond/UCONN scenario and have Trey give it up and pay?

It is great that Patrick, Zo, and Reggie believe in the value if a Georgetown education enough that their kids decided to be Hoyas as well

Hot stuff! Welcome aboard, good luck.
Got the potential to be a great Hoya whether he shines on the court or not. I think he will, got the d-ssential attributes

How cheap can you get! Of course he deserves to be here with a full scholarship! Did I not see he is 6'9 or 6'10?

From all reports Trey's talents are equal to or better than some players we have on scholarship. Not knocking them, but show him the money. Anything less is disrespect.

www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/trey-mourning-alonzo-mournings-son-plans-to-play-college-basketball-at-georgetown/2014/05/03/b29f3452-d30a-11e3-95d3-3bcd77cd4e11_story.htmlThe younger Mourning won’t sign his letter-of-intent until May 16. But after a carefully considered recruiting process that focused on Georgetown, Duke and Florida, he shared his decision to enroll on the Hilltop with Grubair, close friends and his college counselor last week. “There is a lot of pressure that goes with carrying that name here, but Trey has handled it with incredible dignity and grace,” said Grubair, the basketball coach and athletic director at Ransom Everglades, a private high school in Coral Gables. “That is how he does everything.” What sets Mourning apart on the court, Grubair says, is rare shooting skill for a player his size and keen basketball smarts — qualities more commonly associated with European players.

His high school coach is his best promoter: “He has emerged as one of the best shooters of his size anywhere in the country,” said Grubair."" Whether that's an exaggeration or not, I'll be happy with him just protecting the rim, rebounding, and making more putbacks than HAL combined. I know, not a high bar, but that's better than what we've had recently. If he can spot shoot from the FT line, make good passes, and hit FTs, then we're golden.

Been away for a bit because of some family stuff and was thrilled to see that Trey is headed to Gtown. While understanding he is not arriving on the hilltop as some elite player like his dad was, I still think he can be a fantastic player down the road. It doesn't matter if his high school competition was weak : the ability to shoot at his size is a legit weapon. Even if he was only able to hit consistently from the outside only after being left opened, that still makes him more dangerous to Hoyas' opponents than most of the bigs/forwards the Hoyas have had over the last few years.

Agreed. I don't think we should expect an immediate impact, but I think he'll be a very solid contributor in a couple years. He has very nice skills and basketball IQ; I think the most important thing is for him to put on muscle and get stronger. He seems like a very mature and confident young man...which he would have to be to follow in his dad's footsteps while understanding the potential scrutiny associated with his last name.

I don’t see him doing much until Junior year at least..It’s going to be a huuuge jump in competition playing HM ball vs what he was facing in Florida.
Would be a perfect candidate for a redshirt but it seems we don’t do those things for whatever reason
