Should have taken Kenny Anderson, Dennis Scott, Corliss Williamson, Grant Hill, Chris Jackson, Shaq, and more recently, Josh Hart.

Shaq? I don't know that we were ever in the running for Shaq, but had he come, that would have given us a front line of Shaq, Zo and Deke. That might have been interesting.

Wasn't it always his dream school but felt slighted we never came a knocking?

UAB won the game 79-70, but, amazingly, Louisiana Tech’s four remaining players — senior forward Erik McCree, junior forward Omar Sherman, freshman guard DaQuan Bracey and freshman guard Jalen Harris — outscored the Blazers 20-16 over the game’s final six minutes despite the home team’s one-man advantage.
LOL....

LOL.... At least he's still getting the georgetown experience of playing with less men on the court than the opposing team...

Mulmore was alleged to be many things ... when you score 26 points a game, I don't think there's an expectation that you are a pass first guy. I am dismayed at Mulmore's 3 point and free throw shot mechanics, but I do recognize his role this year is a lot different than the past couple of years. Likewise Mosely was NOT a PG in HS. Bracey and Waters are both guys who look to pass (and shoot).

Bracey and Waters are both guys who look to pass (and shoot). Both guys were brought in to play guard in the same year Bracey was passed on.. That comparison makes more sense than using Waters who wasn't even being recruited while Bracey was in the picture, in fact the coach who's credited with helping get Waters wasn't even on the staff then.. Waters isn't a pass 1st player either, he's definitely a scoring lead guard which is definitely something the program can use..

Waters isn't a pass 1st player either, he's definitely a scoring lead guard which is definitely something the program can use.. From ESPN before this season: Waters averaged 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.1 steals during the spring and summer with Expressions Elite on the Nike EYBL circuit. Also, my eyes tell me that Waters is a passer. Probably our best guard passer since Chris Wright. Just saying, Bracey would be aware that we were chasing Waters. I wouldn't want to commit to a school knowing that by my sophmore year I'd get recruited over ... that being said, I'd be thrilled at a transfer of Bracey now!

We need a wing(s) that can score to backfill P+P.

GU needs a big - an athletic, defense first guy. Offense is easier to work on than defense

GU needs a big - an athletic, defense first guy. Offense is easier to work on than defense I disagree. Defense is more about effort, offense is more about skill. Effort is something you decide to bring with you on the court every time out. Skill is something that must be worked on and refined for years. Not saying one doesn't have to work on defense over the course of time but it doesn't take as long to get good at is as, say, shooting the ball, dribbling the ball, acquiring legit post moves, etc. Of course if you have fantastic athleticism and long arms it will make it easier on both ends.

GU needs a big who can contribute. They've been getting killed on the inside the last few years.

My point being, not as confident we land Waters with Bracey already in the mix. Bracey's great and we would all be happy with him, Waters however could be a game changer.

Bracey is a much better option than Mulmore.
