I tried not to put too much personal take on these guys and stick to facts of what we know about their recruitment. I am sure I am missing a few guys on here, so feel free to add anyone to the thread. I think this is a pretty comprehensive list of players we are on right now with links so you can make yourselves familiar with them.
These guys are in no order at all, I was mostly going from memory to get the guys we are pursuing in one place. For the guys who have threads already I tried to just post a link to their thread.
Point Guards
Xavier Johnson - 6'3" 170 - Arlington, VA - Bishop O'Connell HS
Team takeover PG who the staff offered on June 17. He came to Hoya Madness last year and has been attracting a lot of attention this summer.
His offer list is nothing that Georgetown can't compete with (Georgia Tech, Nebraska, Creighton, NC State among others)

Mac McClung - 6'2" - Team Loaded VA
hoyatalk2.proboards.com/thread/30377/mac-mcclung-18-pg
Big time athlete. Offer list continues to grow as he strings together highlight reel dunks on the circuit.
Shooting Guards
Kiyon Boyd - 6'4" 210 - Washington, D.C.
Recruitment was hot in the spring, but has slowed down a bit and he has dropped in some rankings. Hoyas continue to show interest and remain in the mix.

Trey Wertz - 6'5" 180 SG - Providence Day School - Charlotte, NC
Plays alongside arguably the top PG in the country Devon Dotson. He came for a visit in the summer, but I do not believe he received an offer.

Wings
Keldon Johnson - 6'6" 200 - Oak Hill Academy - Team Loaded
Not sure what I can say that hasn't already been said. Would be the biggest recruit in years for the Hoyas, but he looks less and less likely to come play with his brother all the time. The staff is still in pursuit though.

Jimmy Nichols - 6'8" - Conway, SC.
Offers from decent programs (Miami, Pitt, Rhode Island, VCU, Providence among others) Offered by the Hoyas on April 26.

Josh LeBlanc - 6'6" 180 - Baton Rouge, LA.
Offers from LSU (considered his leader), Cincy, A&M, Arkansas among a few others
Mentioned the Hoyas in an interview in May as a leader. He is planning to trim his list after the Summer. Consistently mentions A&M and LSU as his favorites. Has been blowing up the AAU circuit.
Hoyas staff has been in to see him play a few times this summer on the circuit.

Saddiq Bey - 6'7 195 - Sidwell Friends - DC
Has his own thread on Hoyatalk and is a top priority of the staff.

Kobe Brown - 6'7" 220 - Huntsville, AL
Seems like a long shot, big offer list, but we offered back on May 3. Hometown of Mr. Jonathan Wallace of Hoya lore so perhaps there is a connection there.

Bigs
Dave McCormack - 6'10" 280 - Team Loaded VA
Recruitment has absolutely blown up this summer. Could be a 5 star by the end of the evaluation period. Offers from tons of serious players. Considered a Duke lean, my personal #1 for 2018.

Kenneth Nwuba - 6'10" - Oak Hill Academy
Staff has offered and visited Kenneth this summer. He is now at Oak Hill and has been playing this summer for MBA hoops.

Grayson Carter - 6'9" - Dallas, TX - Dallas Showtime
Grayson came for a visit in June and was offered while on campus. Offers from some Big 12 schools among others. Has visited Marquette.
247sports.com/Player/Grayson-Carter-86307
Emmitt Williams - 6'9" 200 - IMG Academy
Staff has offered and seesm as though they have been following him around on the summer circuit. If that is any indication, I would say he is a top target, but his offer list is extensive.
247sports.com/Player/Emmitt-Williams-85996
Manny Bates - 6'9" - Team Loaded
Recruitment has blown up this summer with offers from Xavier, Louisville, UVA along with Georgetown among others.
