I just went back and read all of the Domingo posts from when he was a recruit. How can so many knowledgeable people be so wrong. His highlights are exactly that, but his stats, especially from 3 were terrific. As per rivals back in 2011: Stephen Domingo, SF (San Francisco, 2013)- The ridiculous shooting display he put on from deep during the Top 50 camp game was just the culmination of what he'd done all weekend. Given that he's already a highly ranked four-star prospect, it's not a surprise that he was able to go off for 30 points (11-18 FG, 5-7 3PT) and six rebounds. Domingo is as pure a jump shooter as there is in the country, regardless of class, has great size and he is much more skilled creating shots off the dribble than people want to give him credit for. What changed? He hit more 3s in the one game than he did in his career at G-Town. Of course defenses are better, but when you have a shooter like Domingo was suppose to be, you design plays to get him open. This never happened. I think Georgetown did him wrong and I hope he goes on to have a fantastic college experience. yep wondered why so many folks were in love with him. but he can be good tho, but he needs to get dirtier.

Now, it's about the types of players he's recruiting and that's changing too.

If true, Domingo was probably the biggest swing-and-a-miss for this program since Jerry Nichols (1994-97). Nichols had all the HS rep but couldn't play defense and eventually lost his confidence. In his best season, he shot 36% from three. In the other two, a combined 0-22. I have memories of Jerry making shots - deep 3s - in big games. I honestly can't recall a Domingo basket at all.

I agree with you that there is an player development issue..this past year was mainly in the front court... I do not think that anyone can argue with you on that point or call you a troll on that note...cause it was plain as day

At least Jerry hit shots in practice. Domingo couldn't even hit in Kenner. I remember seeing people posting on this board that Domingo was lighting it up last year in Kenner and people in the crowd asking who is that.. This stuff was posted in the Kenner League thread.. Now you are saying this... Did u post this in the Kenner League thread too??

I can't remember if I posted about Domingo the 1st Kenner (can't remember if he even played that one) but pretty sure I did the 2nd Kenner. I watch a lot of Kenner and never saw him light it up. In fact it was shocking how bad he shot. Pretty much everybody played better than him including Bradley Hayes and Riyan Williams. There were a couple of games where he hit a few threes in a row but his percentages were terrible.

Never read any reports of Domingo lighting it up in Kenner and if it did happen it was not on a consistent basis.
Guys have to understand that rankings can be a result of simply playing right at the right time. Domingo went off at Pangos one year, got really hot and drilled a ton of shots in the perimeter. That performance was a major reason he got the National rep he had, and if you look at a lot of write ups on him it get’s mentioned. If you talk to folks from his area that saw him play in HS many questioned if he was a HM, or at minimum what his impact would be. He averaged 14pts a game on a bad team against questionable competition
On a side note, just watched the highlights from the Pangos event and even then it seemed like his form was all over the place. He was on fire though and made 5-7 from 3 going off for 30 against the nations best.

From the home page: "His two year shooting average of 11 for 40 (27.5%) ranks among the bottom ten by percentage for all scholarship players at Georgetown since 1955, while his three point mark of 3 for 27 (11.1%) is the third lowest among all players since 1987 with at least one made three pointer for their career. "
Just mind blowing! I wonder if the staff worked on his form. There's no way to really know unless someone talks. What no one can work on except himself is his deer-caught-in-headlights look/mentality. He's only 18 now so maybe that was it his fr and soph seasons here. I felt sorry for the kid when he airballed that FT. Best of luck coming back to the game!

I'm not so sure what got Domingo attention was his actual high school play as he was "encouraged" to play inside, but his AAU and USA International team play was mostly outside and slashing. Clips from his international play show a really good outside shooter with decent form as well as good slash and finish skills. When he arrived at Kenner League and was hanging out around the edges Summer of 2012 he was shorter than Porter and much slighter build. Domingo still hadn't grown into his body and it really wasn't until this season that he started filling out (makes sense as he is still just 18).
Domingo decided he was done with high school and was headed to Georgetown the following year so pushed it to get here a year earlier. Georgetown said yes. Domingo wasn't in a good situation at his high school to develop more there due to the push tp play out of position, but rather than coming to the conclusion that the high school he was at wasn't a good fit and looking for a better school (the West Coast doesn't have the equivalent of a Oak Hill or Christian Montrose Academy as a step between high school and college. His international play had him thinking he was ready for the jump. Not going to a "basketball finishing school" like Oak Hill or similar to hone and improve what he has as he grows into his body and builds a body of understanding the game at a really competitive level Domingo should would have been a good red shirt candidate on the Hilltop.
None of that scenario happened, but now he gets that year to build what he needs to succeed. The glimpses he showed in international play and showcase games hint at a good foundation that need bad habits removed and improve defensive play.
Someone brought up West Coast Conference, which actually may be a good fit particularly one team in mind that focusses on and hones outside shooting, builds defenders, and is needing a good 3. They have been to the NCAA tourney the past 2 or 3 years, but were lacking a strong shooter with international play background (their prior two are in the NBA) they only made it to the NIT. They have size coming in and a good point guard arriving next year. But, who knows if the Bay Area would be a good place to return to and the school would have a good representation from his high school that he spurned. Other fits could be in the Big East at places like Creighton or Villanova (not sure V. is a good fit as they don't hone as much as others).

I don't get how people feel as if GTown or JT3 somehow performed a disservice to Domingo. If I remember correctly Domingo comes from an educated, two parent household. If anything his parents let him down. I would never allow my boys to go to college completely across the country a full year early to play a physical sport. I still don't know why either side wanted to do it. He had a good/ great year his junior year of HS but it wasn't Stanley Johnson great. I think that Domingo and his family made the wrong decision coming early. JT3 and his staff didn't help but they aren't at fault...............

you don't have to pass a test to be a parent, but you do have to pay for bad judgement.

I really was hoping he'd find his stroke. Since he and Cameron filled similar roles, I liked Domingo's superior quickness over Cameron and liked Cameron's length a bit better. I was hoping they could be used as match-up advantages for the Hoyas. In any case, best of luck to Domingo.

Could've easily gone to Findlay. Heck, Stan Robinson went to Findlay and he was at Paul VI the year before.

A good low risk option. He gets a year in a new environment, and will hopefully earn himself a spot in the rotation. Even if he doesn't, worst case scenario is exactly what it is here, sitting on the bench while getting a great education. Best of luck to him.
