This doesn't make sense at all, since nothing can ever happen that would prevent one of our centers from playing. The program just signed 2 top 50 type low post players for 2015 in the last 2 weeks and are heavily involved with Rabb who may be the best post player in the class.. Rabb just had a great visit to the school earlier this week and it's followed up by an offer to another top post player? I find that very strange.. Btw, what message does this send to Dickerson & Govan? That you're preparing in case they get hurt or something unforeseen.. It sends two messages - 1. We want to win now and win big. And 2. We are thrilled to have you on board, but nothing is going to be handed to you and you're going to have to work your ass off to earn your PT. I don't see how either of those are bad things.

Handing out playing time could be III's most difficult problem.

This doesn't make any sense at all.. The program needs ball handlers going forward.. What doesn't make sense? Offering a 7 footer that will likely be a 1 or 2 and done? Guys, we have 3 scholarships left for 2015!! Trey Mourning is a WALK ON. It's clear the staff is looking to get one more quality big man. Comanche, Labissiere, Rabb and Papaiannis, Dozier, Trier, Bacon and R.Smith all have offers. One of those scholarships will be a guard, the last 2 will be for whomever pops first from that list. Rabb, Comanche & Skal all have versatility, they can easily play the 4 or 5 in JT3's system.. Papa, Govan & Dickerson are one position players in this system, I've read many posters saying they'd rather see Dickerson at the 4 but his skill set doesn't match-up with a 4 @ G'town imo.. I realize what type of prospect the kid is however it seems strange to recruit over well regarded kids in the same class.. Govan's coach noted that he committed partly because there was only 1 spot left for a big after the Dickerson verbal.. I have nothing at all against Papa btw..

Can you really know this with any certainty?

Can you really know this with any certainty? B&G stated yesterday that one of our recruits is a walk-on. I believe the other 4 signed LOI in the fall making Trey the walk-on.

Can you really know this with any certainty? Yeah, a lot of certainty. What would lead you to believe he's not a walk on?

B&G, can you just confirm it one way or the other?

The board pretty much has it figured out...1 of our recruits is a walk-on...giving us the luxury of getting two or 3 more guys. While Govan should be a great Hoya, he's more than likely a 3/4 year kid. The staff wants to make a FF run and they want it to happen sooner or later. We've likely got Isaac for 2 years and need to make a deep run within that window. Hence, they want some studs that can come in, start from Day 1, and help us win immediately. Georgios, Ivan, DJ, and Alonzo all fit the mold. Here is B&G's post from last night

"The staff wants to make a FF run"
Ummm...shouldn't that be the goal of every staff every year?

The kid is clearly a couple of years too late - could have fit right in with the 2013-14 Hoya big men!

What would people rather have: A 3rd year Hayes or a first year Papa? If Hayes doesn't make major strides this upcoming year, there may not be any PT left for him. Hayes would be a Sr. when he gets here GU could sell tickets to the team's practice scrimmages. Two seven-footers going against each other...
