This is why a $4-$5 million NIL budget doesn't necessarily get you as far as one might imagine.

Especially since as stated by someone that if there are two weeks left in the portal and 700 players in the portal, some will have no team or scholarship when it closes, sure can get some good bargains.

Would think this would a be a home run for a backup to Mack if he is willing to accept that role...

Hammond would be a good get for the backup PG spot.

The bigger issue is that if either of Mack or Epps gets a significant injury, you're likely starting a Freshman in Mulready or Hammond. It's risky. Hammond is a nice player. But a 5th year would make a lot more sense imo

But a 5th year would make a lot more sense imo I don't disagree but what solid 5th year player is coming here to play 10-12 (maybe 15 minutes) a game? Not many if any would be my guess. I think w/Hammond as a freshman would be open to those type of minutes in the Big East. I am sure he would have played a bigger role at URI but closer to home, better conference, etc - I think that's legitimate selling points for him versus convincing a 5th year guy and telling him your a backup with limited minutes...

No doubt...again I just wonder going from 30 minutes a night to 10 is something he would be interesting in doing...although with his size I guess he could see minutes at the SG as well...so fair maybe a combo 5th year versus a pure PG is the best solution

The bigger issue is that if either of Mack or Epps gets a significant injury, you're likely starting a Freshman in Mulready or Hammond. It's risky. Hammond is a nice player. But a 5th year would make a lot more sense imo The 5th year route seems better in the abstract IMHO. I don't think you're getting a guy on his last year of eligibility who is BE caliber and who is willing to be the 4th guard in a 3.5 guard rotation for a team coming off of 2-18 in league. Maybe if you overpay it's possible, but the odds don't seem great. More likely you're getting someone in the Cam Bacote or Trey Dickerson mold who is transferring up from a low major and doesn't have any other high major options. Someone who is just happy to be playing at Georgetown, but who is not really the caliber of player who belongs in a Georgetown rotation. And that's OK with me if that's where it lands. But if a legitimate talent like Hammond is willing to come in and give it a shot, I think that's better. I know some will just see Hammond's 3 star rating and blow him off, but he's a better player than that ranking IMHO. I'd much rather have a high major-caliber talent like Hammond out there even if he's young than a seasoned player who is not a high major talent like Bacote part 2 (no offense to Bacote by the way, seems like a great guy). Does it make sense to bring in a freshman point guard to go with a sophomore point guard (Mack), a small junior 2 guard (Epps) and a freshman combo (Mulready), especially when we've made a huge push for Lewis in 2025 over the last year? Not really, not in the conventional sense. But all rosters are year-to-year at this point. I don't bank on a single person being back next year, you just never know. So to bring in a senior just to keep a seat warm for Acaden is not ideal. If Hammond knows the deal and wants to follow Kenny Johnson and take a crack at it, great. If it doesn't work, he will head back to the A-10 level this time next year. If it does work, great, and maybe one of the other guys takes off next April. I think in the current climate you just have to get the best players you can and see what happens. And Hammond is pretty good.

Another name that might come up as a former player of Kenny Johnson is Jakai Robinson. He was the head coach when Robinson was there.
