I hear that dribbling with the off hand will be permissible on the Hilltop commencing next season. Quinerly or Pinson paired with McClung would make for a strong backcourt down the road.

If couple of dominoes fall the right way, we are quickly back in the hunt. Big "if" though.

I know the kid can play but didn't we just pass on a kid because of team fit (supposedly)? Wasn't the Quinerly kid grouped with those accepting illegal benefits? I know that nothing was found but an assistant was fired and he was the only recruit that reopened his commitment if I remember correctly. So we are willing to dance with the devil if its a PG? I cant speak for the rest of the posters but for me its a BIG YES! Bring the bag men out do whatever it takes to get a stud PG. Whats the worst that happens? We go on probation for a year or two. What's the difference between that and the past 2 years?

While I don't condone violating NCAA rules, I have no problem telling a star recruit he will play.

FF I don't think LA was to be taken literally. I believe he was just saying the kid is worth the risk. I'm not completely against the kid but it's not always worth it depending on the kid's attitude. Sometimes you get AI sometimes you get Blizzy Blake......

Yes to focusing our attention and sacrificing to get a true point guard. Whoever that poster was that was talking about willing to violate NCAA rules and all that, he is on his own out there on that limb.

Each kid has his own situation, personality and possible fit. No harm in reaching out, seeing if he has interest and then asking some questions and evaluating. It seems like we did that with Tucker and maybe Bowen.

Equipped with athleticism, handles, instincts, feel, bounce, a mid-range game, and the ability rip the nets from long range, the overall impact Pinson had on the court was never in doubt and his best basketball always was in front of him. This fall he transferred to perennial power Simeon Career Academy and the talented lead guard is now the catalyst for one of the most potent attacks in the Midwest once again. His stellar play has secured him recent offers from Georgetown, Memphis, and Dayton with a buzz that Missouri could potentially be joining that mix this week.
In a perfect example of this entire process being a marathon and note a race, Pinson serves notice that it’s never where you start but where you finish. He has worked hard, developed, and continued to pay the price while believing in himself. Equipped with a bit of a chip on his shoulder the talented guard is now one of the biggest emerging stories of the current high school season in the Midwest and don’t be surprised to see more schools jumping on his recruiting trail in the coming weeks and deservingly so because the young man has game and he’s only getting better.

Would love to lock up Pinson early but if he's smart he'll wait until the spring and see more HM offers.

I'd personally take him now then go all in on Quinerly. 3 guards in 2018 would be a lot but I'm sure Pat could figure out how to use them. Plus that gives Pinson time to develop while Quinerly will be 1 and done.

If we don't pull 2 above average BE guards in this class then I fail to see how this team improves. We might have the worst backcourt in Division 1 this year...

I’d say it’s a pretty good bet we have the worst backcourt in the Power 6 conference teams. We should be recruiting almost exclusively guards for 2018 class or transfers. This team won’t be any better until we severely upgrade the backcourt.

The way that the game is played in college these days the need for strong guard play is as important as anything these days. Georgetown really needs to get to a point where it is recruiting a quality point guard at least every other year and probably closer to getting 3 PG every 4 years to make sure they are well stocked with strong back court play. The last real PG they recruited was Tre Campbell and unfortunately he did not work out as well as everyone had hoped. Bringing in Juco guys and grad transfers and expecting them to effectively lead the team is a very risky way to build a roster.
Playing small, with 3 guards on the floor at one time, has become the norm these days so having multiple ball handlers and strong 3 point shooting is needed to be competitive. Georgetown has always prided themselves on attracting highly rated big men, but without strong guard play the effect of quality big men becomes pretty limited.
