I like Boyd and would be very happy if he ends up a Hoya.

This decision may mollify some of the commentary that came through a couple of months ago, and may give evidence that some giving warning were on the right track. It looks like the young man made a great decision. Thanks to whomever helped him make a move!!

Is there any rhyme or reason to him dropping so significantly on basically every major recruiting site?
Rivals I believe he went from Top 30 to outisde their Top 150. Dropped over a 100 spots on 247.
Has his game stalled?

Is there any rhyme or reason to him dropping so significantly on basically every major recruiting site? Rivals I believe he went from Top 30 to outisde their Top 150. Dropped over a 100 spots on 247. Has his game stalled? After Kiyon Boyd alerted the Washington, D.C. basketball scene of his presence, by lifting H.D. Woodson to a 33-0 season in 2015-16 and regularly filling the school’s gym with awing and adoring fans, a familiar narrative started to take shape. He stopped working out as often. He heard people telling him he was great, but wasn’t as tuned into those telling him he still had to get better. He, like any teenager who went from sophomore starter to citywide star, started to give into temptation. “It’s that same story. You start seeing, ‘Oh I’m ranked here,’ or, ‘I’m ranked this, I’m better than this kid, they say I’m ranked better than this kid,'” said Curtis Yarbrough Jr., Boyd’s trainer and legal guardian. “You know, you’re a teenager, so peer pressure is a very, very, very, very, very, very tough thing to overcome. “That kid that you’re hanging out with? He might not work out that day, so then you don’t,” Yarbrough said. “That kid wants to go to a party instead of going to the gym, so you end up going to the party. It might seem like it’s just one moment, but then you add up all the times you didn’t work on your craft.” www.washingtonpost.com/news/recruiting-insider/wp/2017/08/08/h-d-woodson-star-top-recruit-kiyon-boyd-transfers-to-massanutten-military-academy/?utm_term=.d9c559a49872

I think he remains a major talent and unless he truly has a bad attitude would take him in the wink of an eye.

I think he still has a chance to reach his potential, but Georgetown isn't the place for him to do that.

Are we still recruiting him? This should be a no-brainer if we are...

why do they act like Massanutten is so far from DC. I make it there in about 2 hours often. They consider James Madison a local school. Not computing logic there?

He had a really poor summer. I know some schools backed off in favor of other targets.
I tried to tell people that he probably doesn't realize his potential playing close to home. It's not me saying it, it's everybody.

He had A LOT going on this past winter/spring. Might be better for him personally to play away from home

Didn't have a great HS season, but he played a lot better the second half of the Summer circuit than the first tbf. Really poor summer is a bit harsh imo.
If you look back on his vids from Summer 16, he looked to be in much better shape imo

Very bad news, best of luck to the kid in his recovery..
I hope the staff shows a high level of interest regardless..
