Sounds like Mitchell is just jacking up shots. Went 9-30 from the field. With Ewing there to watch.
I know that Jordan Brangers #2 juco player com South Plains jc, is pretty good as well. 6'4 at...averaging 17 ppg ...

I know this was only one game but this is how Mitchell played in his championship series.

Top tier of JUCO guards not looking so good for us. Better start praying for Akinjo.

These kids seem not be thrilled about Ewing coming to recruit them. This is why I say we have these point guards right in our back yard.

Maybe Pat came away less then thrilled after watching him in person? Glides reports seemed to indicate he was jacking shots during that game.

Interesting list. Oh well, next. Sounds like this kid is going elsewhere. I think it was mentioned on here that Coach Ewing went and watched him in person recently and he had an unimpressive game. It very well could be that Ewing took a step back after watching him play. Texas A&M and SMU are good programs but the other programs are not too impressive, so I would think he and the Hoyas might have decided it was not a good fit. What is the time frame for most of the commitments for these type of Juco, grad transfer, late '18 signings and other available players? I would think the programs want the players to be enrolled before the summer sessions start so they can be on campus and start get accustomed to school and working in the strength and conditioning program. Are we looking at decisions from most of these kids in the next 3 -4 weeks?

It very well could be that Ewing took a step back after watching him play. He's the #1 JUCO player in the nation and we know he can play at a D1 because he was at Baylor and we have no guard depth. I don't buy the idea that "maybe we decided he's not good enough for the Big East".

Are we looking at decisions from most of these kids in the next 3 -4 weeks? I watched that one game. Mitchell put 24 points, mostly jumpers. He missed a lot of jumpers and took so ill-advised ones as well. He did attack the basket and drew some fouls. Ewing was there. Scroll back and read some of the comments. I'd say Ewing probably took a step back idk though, but obviously Mitchell wasn't looking to come to the Hilltop anyways. Time is running out. We true point guards right in our own back yard. We need to stop sleeping on them. Period. The City of Baltimore had 3 state champions including one state champion from Baltimore County. Wake up Hoyas, wake up.

Maybe just maybe bringing in a chucker isn't the way to build chemistry in a team. If Pat was truly interested I suspect we beat out Grand Canyon on that list. But hey, its all speculation on my part.

The odds of any heavily recruited point guard choosing Georgetown right now are really low. The program simply has no track record of helping guards get to the NBA, and that is what any heavily recruited PG cares about far more than anything else. Our only path to fixing this is for some more 3 star type PG to come to Georgetown and break out, have a big college career, and get drafted. Then we might have something tangible to sell. Maybe McClung can be this player. But no matter how hard Ewing works, until he has a successful example to sell - I don't see us getting guys like Akinjo or the top JC guard prospect. They simply have too many other options that have produced successful results in terms of getting guards to the NBA.

They simply have too many other options that have produced successful results in terms of getting guards to the NBA. You're Wright haha. Glad we got Mac, because he's gonna prove the doubters wrong. I'm not all about that 2, 3, 4 star BS. The Hoyas just need a true point that makes good decisions on the ball and is tough. Period. How many times must I say this! We need another floor general, but it'll be a good thing that Mac is up to this challenge being our next floor general. If Mac puts everything into being strictly a floor general, he will be very successful for the Hoyas and the Big East and move as a floor general to the league. IMO. My vision. Makes sense right? Again and again, it's always great to have two floor generals that can push each other in practice. One having to look over his shoulder makes one better. Playing against each other in practice makes them both very competitive and when you put them on the court together it's looks like poetry in motion. They create havoc. I've done this as a coach, and it doesn't matter what level you do this on as a coach it works. Good decision making will always be a "key" factor in the Hoyas winning games and close games as well. A big and another true point guard will due. The pg doesn't have to be elite. Oh, it's nice to have another elite pg, but not necessary. We still have Jagan, who has a couple of years under his belt playing the pg position. Yes, he made some mistakes and he's made some good plays. I think the difference will be is Jon Wallace stepping his game up teaching more about point guard play. Maybe sending these kids in the off-season to point guard camps after summer classes. They sorely need this. They can come to my school of point guard play. Won't even have to pick up a basketball. I quizzed Trawick once he chose Gtown. I asked him with so many seconds on the clock what decision would you make during crunch time. He answered exactly what I wanted him to. DO you know if Trawick would've ran the point how successful the Hoyas would've been. He was always a good decision maker and tough on the ball. He was like a Westbrook. He had handles, remember??? glidehoyas.blogspot.com/2011/06/hoyabound-jabril-trawick-glides-through.htmlWatch Bril's vision and passes. He was unselfish and had a high basketball IQ. I always thought he was very aggressive on the ball offensively and defensively. We did not get the best out of Bril IMO. Note: Jessie Sapp, as a senior would've taken the Hoyas to the next level, but we (Hoyas) didn't understand how critical and valuable point guard was or what it was? ... IMO "Failing is a part of climbing, but do climb." - John Thompson Jr.

I don't buy the idea that "maybe we decided he's not good enough for the Big East". I agree with you that we are in no position to get picky with guards. However, that Mitchell was at Baylor doesn't tell us much. Not only did he play very little, but when he did play, he was pretty bad and very inefficient. And, we know from Mulmore's experience that excelling in JUCO doesn't mean that ability translates to being an effective high major player. If the staff evaluated Mitchell and thought he was worth pursuing, then that would be totally fine. But, I think it's easy to see where the staff might evaluate him and decide otherwise, too.
