I have watched 3 highlight videos now...havent seen him make 1 shot outside 5 feet...he's just stronger than everyone on the court and can bull his way through them.
Nice passer. Feels like a stretch. Seems like a very similar player to Lofton so clearly a skill set Patrick is looking for...

How many more "bigs" can we offer? We get another one and we've got 10 F/Cs (officially) for next year and 3 guards (James/Mac/Jahvon).
Don't respond w/ TTS OR tell me Omer (or whoever else) is leaving OR that anyone else on the roster besides those 3 is a guard OR that we can always get a Grad-xfer. I understand all that. Best case scenario (if we get another 3/4/5) is that 2 bigs leave and we replace them with 2 guards (to make 5 overall).
So who are those guards? You can tell me we don't know about them yet or maybe they're being recruited in silence, but all of these offers to big men are certainly not off the record.
If PE isn't close to 100% sure about RJ, the amount of guard offers is very disturbing. And I haven't even offered the non-zero odds that James moves on after this year...
Sorry if I sound like a broken record on this, but I've watched us play under-staffed in the backcourt for too many years now.

I don’t sweat this stuff anymore because of the transfer/JUCO/5th year/late bloomer options. Need a bullet left in the chamber to play.

Remember when some of you lost your collective minds over Kenneth Lofton and his "offer" from Georgetown? Let's calm down and stop jumping to conclusions.

When it was announced the Hoyas had offered Lofton and that the team had made his final four or five, with the other choices being viewed as steps down from Georgetown. People felt that meant there was a great chance he'd be a Hoya and there were folks vexed by this considering the team had just gotten a commitment from Terrance Williams. You don't recall any of this? Perhaps I'm mistaken and most of the arguing took place on twitter,but I do know a bunch of folks questioning Ewing's decision to offer the kid. I felt the offer was never as solid as some camps made it out to be in the media.

I felt the offer was never as solid as some camps made it out to be in the media. I’m obsessed with the recruiting board and I didn’t even realize he was scheduled to visit until it was mentioned last week in the RJ Davis thread, you’re probably right that it was talked about more in other places...

Kid's people have been tossing crumbs of info about how he may bypass college altogether. Seems the type that's in a desperate rush to get a sniff at the NBA.

Diarra is perhaps plan B, if Davis doesn't commit to GU, or is waffling on his decision making.

Zed Key (PF) and Andre Curbelo (PG) Zed Key is highly undervalued. He reminds me so much of a young Al Horford. Just a good all around player. Key will get you 12 pts, 9 rebs, 2 blks, 2 stls, 2 ast on a consistent basis. He was suppose to visit Marquette this weekend. No info if that is still happening?

Georgetown: “Playing for Coach [Patrick] Ewing and Georgetown would be incredible learning from an NBA legend. I think I can definitely develop and play in a great conference as well. We haven’t talked about visit dates yet but I’d love to take an official there.”
Wherever he lands, Brown hopes to make an impact.
“I’m well known for my athleticism and the way I jump but I think my jumper and handle are continuing to get better,” he said. “I play above the room and love to shoot pull-ups. I think I’m real versatile on defense and and guard 1-4.”
