Is this young man being recruited by any of the big boys? I ask because there seems to be a new confidence around the program. Want to start going head to head with the top programs for recruits. Feel like Pat is going to win some of those battles.

Malcolm Wilson - C Columbia, SC 6'11" 205lb Class of 2019
24/7 comp rank = #164 Rivals - #144 ESPN - no scouting report
2nd team SC all-state in '17-'18 9.9 rpg, 6.4 bpg
not a big scorer apparently -- according to one local article after the state title he's averaging "five or six" ppg. But he did have 15p, 15r in a state finals victory

Wilson looks to me like a true 7 foot rim protector.
Some high majors have already shown interest and offered, that list is going to grow.
Should be near the top of our board for 19. A pairing of Wilson and Stewart would be a dream come true.

Another case where I think that "the glove does fit"...we're in early and people around him seem genuinely impressed (especially the coach, academic advisor, etc...)...I would show Malcolm video of Patrick in HS, then at Georgetown, then in the NBA (and follow that up with a discussion of how he's worked with similar guys in the NBA) and already begun to further develop guys like Derrickson, Govan...and has a commitment from a guy who transferred to be further developed by Patrick...then talk about Malcolm as a student-athlete and how G'town can provide the ideal academic situation for him...get Mom on board (Dad too) and get him on campus ASAP...I would think we have a very good shot here and would love to get an early comitment...

A pairing of Wilson and Stewart would be a dream come true. As much as I'd love Wilson and Stewart, I can't see us taking more then 1 C for 2019. Especially if Yurt7 has to sit out a year. I mentioned it in the 2019 thread: it should be a part of Pat's pitch to any 2019 C that they will have a season of going head to head with a surefire NBA C ontop of the summer practices where alumni come back. At this point I would love Wilson. With Yurt in the fold, he'd have a year to bulk up in the weight room, learn some offensive skills and hone his defense against a top post player. He's an athlete and has great measurables (look at the size of his hands!). Would definitely have to be developed but Pat has developed some of the best Centers in the NBA (look at Dwight Howard, he was one dimensional before Pat got him, then he blew up). Hopefully we continue to monitor him on the summer circuit and if he keeps averaging double-doubles with a high number of blocks give him a commit-able offer.

I would give him the committable offer right now.
He has every tool Patrick needs to make him great. If he wants to be a Hoya and learn from Pat, lock him up now.

Granted, we want to make sure that at least 3 players (and when possible, 4) on the court are capable from 3, but I don't see an issue with putting a top prospect like Stewart in a traditional PF role, given that he would be such a dominant force there.

True, I guess I haven't seen his measurements lately. I knew he was around 6'8" as a HS Fr so I figured he had grown a bit since then. He's definitely good enough to play the 4 even if he has grown but we do have quite the depth at the forward spots. We have 4 open scholarships for 2019 so while I think we should be looking at Cs, SGs, and SFs, you definitely have tons of room for a talent like Stewart. That all said, I like that Pat hasn't given up on Stewart but I'm not confident even if we are on a recruiting roll currently.

Stewart is a college center unless you have a big, offense-minded kid at the 5 - like Omer. You can't pair him exclusively with a C like Wilson unless your 1-3 are all superior offensive players.

NYC aren't our 1-3 superior offensive players...(akinjo, mac/juggy, morko)....I believe by the time Stewart would be on campus, all 4 could avg. 15+pts....

They will need to average more than that to make up for two bigs who can't score from five feet out being on the court at the same time.

We'll see what happens, but it's currently all potential. I'm thinking more... Jr/Sr Starks, DSR, LJ types.

I don't care what his ranking is or how little points he averaged this past season. Wilson has undeniable elite physical tools. He may be my most preferred recruit for 2019. What's even better is that he is a three-star recruit so most if not all the big southern programs have probably slow walked him. I think Ewing and Co. have a nice shot at making such an impression that he could pick GU even as his stock rises considerably.

Good point. That situation seems like one where Patrick's fame can be a big asset, and showing strong love early can earn loyalty from a player and his family that does not get eroded by bigger programs coming in late when the kid blows up.

I can see where we might have to settle for lower ranked guards while Pat proves himself but we should not have to settle for project big men. If we are in fact going after true centers, not sure we should, we should go all in on the Bassey, Marial and Cockburn's of the class. College basketball is not a game where you can play 4 on 5 on offense anymore. If you are they better be super elite on D and boards and as Texas showed this year with Bamba that doesn't always mean success.
