Even with "upping" our recruiting game, it will be a long climb back. We fell down a long, long cliff.

Pat should leave the Nova game at halftime to recruit. Recruiting is everything! We need talent to compete- that simple.

How do we feel about the Big East not even being included in this list?

Is this strictly a football thing and thus that's why the BE isn't included?

NO way someone can tell me that this year (or even since the "new big east has been around) the PAC-12 and SEC have been better than the big east. Frankly, neither has the Big 12 and ten. But this conference continues to be overlooked and continues to perform.

As much as it pains me during the NCAA Tournament, this is why we have to root for ALL Big East tournaments, even Villanova.

I used to think that way until our last Villanova game. That's it for me. Wright has built the perfect basketball program with a great playing style for college, perfect strategy to build a balanced team and recruiting to fit it. I'm jealous. Since the BE got its restart, Nova has been head and shoulders above the rest of the BE teams: 6 titles in four seasons. God bless Providence and Seton Hall for taking the other two. It looks bad for everyone except Villanova fans. I want other BE teams (including GU) to catch up. Until then, I will root against Villanova.

As jealous as I have been of every successful program who usually isn't up there I will always support a big east team in the tournament. It's what needs to happen to earn respect for the conference. Plus in the case of Villanova it makes me realize that this can come to us too. We have to let Ewing get a roster and work his magic then I believe that we could be like Nova soon. Plus it is helpful for our conference too as this big east would be deadly with us being good too.

First, welcome to HT, mdtd.
I've supported all BE teams too, up to Jan. 17th. I want them to not win the BE regular season title, the BET title and the NCAA Championship. We have a long way to catch up.
To your other point, yes it could be GU in the future. Looking forward to it.
Food for thought, what happens if Pat is as successful as Wright by Year 5? Does he get the NBA head coaching offer he was waiting for before last year? Does he get that NBA Head Coach chip off his shoulder by accepting?

This would be a great position to be in because it would mean Ewing was successful, and we likely had significant NCAA success. Whether Ewing would take an NBA job in such a scenario, who knows. A successful Ewing would probably have very good job security at Georgetown and little to worry about. That said, Ewing has always wanted to coach in the NBA, so it's hard to see him passing up that opportunity in this scenario.

That said, this is definitely looking ahead. I think a scenario where Ewing has Georgetown succeeding enough where he's even mentioned for NBA jobs is something most of us would gladly take right now.

Not sure how many NBA teams will be looking to hire a 60-year old head coach as a rookie NBA head coach, five years out, even if Ewing has significant success.

Totally agree. I think Ewing's time to be an NBA coach has come and gone.

If he is offered that job do you think he'd leave? And thanks man its nice to talk about the Hoyas with other fans. I totally understand where you are coming from though regarding big east teams in he tourney. 

[bicentennial]

Would have to think if he were ever offered the Knicks job he would be gone! If he wins a national championship after 5 years of coaching he will have lots of offers!

If he was offered (meaning he is very successful quickly), IMO it would be tough for him to turn down his goal since he ended his playing career. But time is ticking...
