I skimmed your gibberish, so let me give you the Cliff notes version: Gordon, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, is light years better than Domingo. Domingo may have a better outside shot, but Gordon still outscored him from the perimeter is my guess (I only saw a few games). However, if you deny the main point, then you would be on an island. Of course, Domingo will improve, but so will Gordon. See how that works? And who knows, Domingo may close the gap in a few years. That's what NOBODY knows. You're the one knocking Gordon, invalidating his exploits to date. That ain't gonna fly. He's a one-and-doner, barring injury. Will Domingo be a one-and-doner? Most likely not, but that's no insult, most kids don't make the NBA, and fewer are one-and doners. There's no shame in that. Domingo is a good kid, is a very talented shooter, a top-100 player (not a top-30) who hopefully will blossom into something more. Do I think he should redshirt? Yes, to get more physically mature. Do I think he will? Probably not, because Hoya posters are right, they probably can't afford to, as they get a slew of highly-ranked recruits most every year. What is your malfunction? You sign up and start posting this week. You claim your posts contained unbiased information about a recent GU commit, but they're really just a bunch of criticisms of Domingo mixed in with some wierd man-crush on Aaron Gordon, who has no relevance to Georgetown (that I can tell). Sprinkled throughout your posts are repeated jabs at Hoya fans. And then you get your panties in a bunch when longtime posters take offense at your needlessly confrontation attitiude (especially for a new member of the board). We get it. You think Domingo is tiny CGI-Chris Evans and Gordon is Captain America. We'll welcome Domingo to the Hilltop and have while eat bananas, while you and Domingo can move to Lexington or Westwood and live happily ever after. My malfunction? lol Read your posts--you're the only throwing insults, getting your panties in a wad. Your rant just described yourself. Let me ask you this. How many games of Domingo or Gordon have you seen live? And yet, your already know what type of players or recruits they are? And so you've posted thousands of posts on this message board makes you an expert on players you haven't even seen? I guess reading comprehension is a challenge. I have no dog in this fight. I don't care where either plays in college. I do hope both players succeed, as they are friendly rivals in a good high school rivalry (that's the relevance--they have played each other multiple times every year). Both are good kids off the court--you guys will cheer hard for Domingo. Here's a little advice: read more, post less. And get a life.

Both are good kids off the court--you guys will cheer hard for Domingo. Here's a little advice: read more, post less. And get a life. There was once a poster on this board who went by the name Ignatius. His lone goal appeared to be coming to HoyaTalk to tell everyone that he could just how bad a high school recruit that committed early to Georgetown was. Ignatius would go on rants about this guy. Claimed how he had seen the kid play in high school while the rest of us have not. He went on about how weak the competition was in the league the kid played and yet the kid was supposedly to inept to dominate against inferior foes. Ignatius stated that the kid would not do much of anything at Georgetown, that the kid was not Big East caliber. He was a nice guy, Ignatius would explain, and was from a nice, pleasant family. But he could not play. Ignatius claimed it wasn't anything personal. He liked the kid as a person; however he wasn't any good on the court. Any time one of us was foolish to point out some good news about this player (an article, a positive writeup), something that suggested this player could have a good future ahead of him, Ignatius would swoop in and stomp on any positive expectation about the kid that was expressed. Stomp on it until all good vibes were properly smothered. If we told him to stop picking on a teenager he would dismiss us and relay to us how much more informed he was in these matters. That kid Ignatius made a living beating the crap out of figuratively was Roy Hibbert. Funny how when Roy arrived at college and started playing well we never heard from Ignatius again. Daykne, you may mean well. You may even know a little something about basketball. But you are in ways worse than Ignatius because you appeared to have joined this board just for the benefit of being able to dog Domingo as often as possible all the while riding the jock of your obsession, Aaron Gordon. And you have the nerve to tell someone else to get a life? That's a good one. We got your point the first few times. No need to keep repeating yourself in two separate threads. Go out and enjoy that California weather.

You clearly joined this board after the Domingo commitment just to tell us all about deficiencies (as you see them). That's fairly pathetic, don't you think? To say nothing of your rampant jock-sniffing of this other kid who really has nothing to do with Georgetown basketball - so why are you constantly bringing him up again and again? It's weird and petty. And so are you. Be gone.

I wonder is Dakyne is a Stanford fan or an Arizona fan or some other west coast school that Domingo snubbed for Georgetown. Why else would he come over here?

Did a couple of searches and he's jocking Aaron Gordon on PAC-10 boards, SEC boards, Kansas boards, Kentucky boards, UW boards, New Mexico boards, Oregon boards, Cal boards, etc.

And you have the nerve to tell someone else to get a life? That's a good one. We got your point the first few times. No need to keep repeating yourself in two separate threads. Go out and enjoy that California weather. MCI, I will respond to your post as it is reasonable, while the others, for whatever reason, just want to hurl insults. I'm not a therapist, so I won't even try to understand them. But your post is completely rational--even your skepticism of my intentions. Here are the facts: 1) I have praised Domingo many times, for having many positive traits, both mental (he seems like a good kid, and his academics seem in order) and physical (he can shoot, and he's long for his position). 2) he also has deficiencies, mainly strength, but with the caveat that he has one year left to get stronger before he ever sets foot on GU's campus. 3) having said that, and this may be the point of contention, he did not have a good year statistically, and after having seeing him play a couple times, he didn't appear dominant on a subjective basis either. I realize there is always confirmation bias, so I included some video because I was actually there to look at another player. In other words, maybe stats lie, or my personal disappointment of his play may have been colored. I absolutely leave that option open. But after reviewing some of the videos, and after comparing it to other outstanding players, my initial assessment wasn't that far off. It is what it is--his stock obviously is high because he has a ton of upside--because it wasn't due to high production. I don't think anybody has challenged that. Maybe not NBA potential, but then again, maybe he DOES have NBA potential--which is huge because not every college star is NBA material. 4) He has the body type that will get stronger, and will fill out. Strength and developing other parts of this game (including defense) will be a function of hard work, dedication, coaching--and luck. 5) I was faced with defending Gordon because some on here questioned HIS skills. He has fewer weaknesses than almost every high school player out there--he's already more polished in some ways than Drew, 6 years his senior, altho like Domingo, Gordon needs to add strength, too. I'm not jock-sniffing Aaron--he doesn't need it, as the consensus is he's a top 5 player who is a likely one-and-doner. To deny that is not fact-based. And again, Gordon is much better than Domingo at this point, and stating that is not an insult to either. Domingo will improve--probably a lot. 6) one caveat was that in another thread, while I knew Domingo was injured, no one knew the extent of his injury so that could explain his less-than-dominant play, and recent dominance in the summer league. That would explain everything and cause all parties to agree that Domingo will probably have a break out senior season and live up to his top 50, or top 100 status, whichever scouting service one follows. As for the videos, the people vote with their feet. Aaron Gordon's videos understandably get a lot of eye balls. Domingo's not as much, but that may change this season. Based on his summer play, his visibility will definitely rise. In fact, not to suggest coaches are unethical, but it would not surprise me if other coaches came around sniffing out how solid Domingo's verbal is, especially if he really blows up, and guys like Self and Calipari come around asking questions. As much as I hate to say it, that type of thing does happen in college basketball. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Domingo is a great get, because the guy has a high upside. Why Hoya posters continue to ignore my incessant comments along those lines are beyond me. I praise the kid 90% of the time, and some Hoya posters want to focus on the 10%, completely ignoring the majority of my observations (and btw, I backed up my observations with some video). Guess what--every player has room for improvement--especially high school players. Hell, even Kobe shoots too much, and he's an NBA MVP. But then again, it's a message board, so it's all good. Thanks for your well-thought out response.

dakyne, deleted, no one on this board questioned Gordon's skills. No one. Not once.
You mentioned the kid first, out of the blue - one poster subsequently asked you whether he might have similar personality traits of his brother. Nothing was said about his basketball skills.
You are just making things up so you can continue this weirdness. You love Gordon. Hell, maybe you are Gordon. Who knows? Also, you don't think Domingo is as good as Gordon. On that count pretty much every recruiting service agrees with you, and no one seems to be arguing that Domingo is better here, and yet you continue to post as if someone is disagreeing with you. No one is arguing with you. You have made your point, over and over. Now be gone.
ON EDIT:
My God, is this an all-time Hoyatalk deleted quote:
"As for the videos, the people vote with their feet. Aaron Gordon's videos understandably get a lot of eye balls."
So wait, do we vote with our feet or our eye balls? I gotta put my socks back on.
Put that one on the wall with "ROSCOE=HOYA" and "self-internal jealousy"

Uuummm, you're the one that brought up the number of posts as some type of criterion to measure credibility. Frankly, I don't care what my credibility is--I'm making observations and backing it up with video. I'm a hoops fan, so I attend games, hopefully comprised of good players. You're the only one throwing insults--look at your previous posts, for God's sake. I'm not slamming Domingo, and not slurping Gordon--you're the one that marginalized Gordon. THEY'RE BOTH GOOD KIDS, BOTH ELITE BASKETBALL PLAYERS, BUT ONE JUST HAPPENS TO BE BETTER THAN THE OTHER--AT THIS POINT IN TIME. You're the Hoya fan who has a dog in this fight--I sincerely don't. I'm making observations and backing it it up with video. Using your words, you're the one with the malfunction by hurling insults just because you happen to disagree with my take. And I don't even believe we disagree. lol If I were blind, we would be on equal footing because even you admit you haven't seen him play live. Anyway, I had a good weekend celebrating Memorial Day and the Golden Gate Bridge's 75th. Hope yours was good, too.

I wonder is Dakyne is a Stanford fan or an Arizona fan or some other west coast school that Domingo snubbed for Georgetown. Why else would he come over here? Nope, altho I have family both from Stanford and Georgetown. Pretty sure no one from the clan have attended Arizona. I came here because Domingo committed to GU, and I thought you guys might be interested. I'm a college basketball fan first and foremost. I think Domingo is a good get, whose upside is high, perhaps as high as Reggie Miller's, altho that is a tall task. But even if he is only close to Miller, he'll be making $5 million a year. If that is an insult to Domingo, then well, there's really nothing to discuss.

Yes, a poster or two did question Gordon's skills, and they also expressed they didn't care about Gordon--I can appreciate that. Feet, eyeballs, just like opinions, we all have 'em. I guess you missed the main point that Gordon videos have been receiving a lot of views. I'm just speculating on why that is true. I'm also speculating Domingo will also have many highlight videos going forward.
