Tough Game going up against Twerps commit Anthony Cowan and St. John's in WCAC league play. The amount of talent in this high school basketball conference is absolutely ridiculous. Every game is a battle.

Up to the kid now. We have offered and apparently are pursuing him vigorously by attending games etc. I am sure the son has learned from the mistake that big John made with David Edwards. As a fan, I hope to see him here. He will be fun to watch and he can help us win.

23 in a loss to Paul IV last night... Under the radar is good in this case. This kid could have a big hand in what our offense looks like in the upcoming years and would be under the bright lights from day 1.

I think the sooner he makes a decision the better for us. Although I'd imagine he'll play out the AAU circuit to see if any other big players throw their hat in the ring. Maybe a fall decision I'm guessing?

Great interview of Chris Lykes! Love how much everyone talks about his natural leadership skills and tenacity. His no fear attitude makes you believe their is no moment to big for Chris, a quality you want in your Point Guard.
The interview also makes me very nervous now because Lykes states that he wants to major in engineering and Georgetown to my best knowledge doesn't offer engineering at Georgetown. Make they choose to study Mathematics or Computer Sciences, I have no idea what an engineering major courses outline looks like. Both Chris Lykes and Kodye Pugh (my top recruiting choices for 2017) state they want to study engineering makes me nervous we might not get either of them. As an adult, I realize high school students may think or share they want to major in a specific field of study but once in college they might change their minds multiple times. I know that happens all the time, the problem is the high school prospects don't know or might not understand that's a strong possibility. That being said,

That jumped out to me as well. Georgetown had talked about a 5-year joint program with Columbia to offer an engineering degree. I don't know if it ever came about. But, Georgetown is in a good position to offer the combo of science and business courses that can prepare someone for that fifth year. Realistically, it would be difficult to complete an engineering degree and be a four-year varsity player in any sport so the five-year route would be best for him. I come from a family of engineers and the program is as rigid as the pre-med track.

I come from a family of engineers and the program is as rigid as the pre-med track. Great points! I'm not sure if the joint program with Columbia ever came to fruition. The average academic timeline for a non athlete to complete an engineering degree at most quality institutions is over 4 years now anyways. My cousin is finishing an engineering degree at Case Western in Ohio and is not an athlete. He told me his advisors told him when he went through the application process at several universities that 5 years was a realistic timetable. It would be next to impossible that student athlete could complete an engineering degree during their 4 years of eligibility. A daughter of a friend of mine was encouraged by many coaches to change her desires to major in nursing because of the athletic responsibilities didn't allow for her to meet some of the nursing major's academic requirements. The inability to major in any course of study you want to is one of the dirty little secrets of being a college athlete. I actually tell students I know that are applying to college to pick 5 possible majors and pick a school that offers at least 3 or 4 of them.

My bad... I took the approach of going directly to the school website and got annoyed with the search from there. Thanks for the link.

Regardless of his choice of major, it is good for us that Chris takes his studies seriously. We always do better with those recruits.

I come from a family of engineers and the program is as rigid as the pre-med track. I changed from a engineering curriculum to accounting after 2 years. You can't half-@ss your way through a engineering degree. If you aren't 100% focused you can very easily get swallowed up..........
