I don’t know that this is what happened...but waiting to invest in re-engaging Stewart until you added some thoroughbreds to the stable might turn out ot be a decent strategy. I imagine PE talked to Stewart shortly after getting the job given his fandom. With the increased attention he started receiving, maybe our overtures were a bit immature.
Add Mac. Add Akinjo. Add Carter. Add Leblanc. Add Omer.
Now, Isaiah... let’s talk.

O’Hare is 90 minutes to La Lumiere.

Wonder why Stewart is in Indianapolis on a school night (or during a school day), which is 3 hours from his high school...

Agree. Hoyas are a more attractive destination now that some talent has signed. Talent begets talent.

I mentioned in another thread that with Akinjo in the fold and the signing of rim protector Wilson the Hoyas would be one player away from being NCAA title contenders....Stewart is exactly that type of guy...

And to be clear Wilson has not signed m. Just a rim protector would be a needed addition IMO.

We had eyes on Stewart and Aidan...I'm pleased. Let's get some momentum for the 2019 class.

“I haven’t been to Georgetown campus in a while, maybe since like eighth grade so there and then Louisville and Ohio State,” he said when asked about where he wants to visit.

Good to hear that we are still on the radar...and the first top of mind place when asked where he wants to visit.

That writeup is nice to see. Seems like maybe he'd taken us off the radar for a bit, but now we've got some new momentum so...? Dare to dream, but Stewart and Wilson would be a great big man haul for '19. Stewart could step right in with Omer, LeBlanc, and others at the 4/5. If he's truly a 1 or 2 and done, Wilson will have had some time to develop and take over when he and Omer are gone. Throw in a Whitney/Nickelberry, an Anthony( )/Quinones + Gipson/Broadnax/Gultekin, and you've got the type of class I'm hoping for. Newfound hope is a helluva drug.
