Top 100 6'5" SF out of South Carolina just committed to Georgetown! Recruiting board thread here with lots of info on Peak: LJ PeakWelcome to L.J.! It's shaping up to be a heckuva class, and long before the signing deadline. Some quotes: "High energy guy who doesn't take a play off." "Can fill it up." “I think I have become a much better defensive player, more of a lock-down defender, and my shot has gotten a lot better since coming to Chicago, but I still have a long way to go,” Peak stated. “I’m nowhere close to where I need to be. I’m definitely not done working. This is only the beginning, really.” We got on him, I think, because he was at Whitney Young (Chicago) this last season -- so I expect Hardy played a big role.EDITED: alleninxis corrects me. |

Excellent news - welcome LJ, and.. Good job Kevin Broadus!
LJ - you made a great choice. GU is a fun place, as is Washington, DC.
And Hoya Hoops has as strong a tradition and connection with our NBA and other Hoops alumni as anyone.
Best of luck to you young man.

Man, the 2014 recruiting class really looks athletic. This is unlike past GU classes. With the GU offensive style and the newly recruited athletic ability, I see the program really going forward. Both Copeland and Peak can "jump out of the Gym". The defense should be even better, creating turnovers, resulting in easy baskets.

Getting more and more excited the more I learn about this kid. Top 40 talent, just took a bit of a drop b/c he sometimes took a back seat in AAU ball.
But he seemingly steps up most times his high school team needs him.
Nice shot, very strong athleticism, likes to dunk, scorer. Improving and takes pride in his D.
Seems like he's a 2G recruit for us.
Only thing I haven't seen is him in isolation.

Now we just need to tell LJ that, contrary to what he's got on Twitter, he's committed to Georgetown University, not the University of Georgetown.
