Just to complete your biography of Art White, he graduated from the School of Foreign Service and had a distinguished post college career

Pitt's Capel was there tonight and offered Davis. Stepinac is in the CHSAA Final against Christ the King. Christ the King has the number 8 ranked sophomore in the country Moussa Cisse, a 7 footer. Cisse missed most of the season due to injury and came back very late in the year

We need to keep working both of these kids, and hard. Davis is a multi-talented transition scorer that the Hoyas could absolutely use. Griffin is a beast. A very well-rounded game.

That’s a big statement. Ewing is prioritizing Davis over all else.

Davis had a ridiculous first half - 20 I believe - and then, with Step having a double digit lead late in the third and dominating, Christ the King basically stopped covering one of the Step players - literally. They had their off guard defender leave his man completely and double Davis and Griffin, their 6-7 wing, when either got the ball - Double may not be the exact word - He helped hard, which allowed the CTK primary defender to get way up on Davis without fear of getting beat, because when Davis (or Griffin) beat their defender off the dribble, they faced the second CTK defender. Meanwhile CTK has a 6-11 center who is a top 20 player in the paint named Cisse who was a huge hindrence if Davis did get to the basket.
Stepinac won the Federation (the entire state) last year and their coach can coach. But he didn't make any adjustments to their offensive sets as all this was happening and Stepinac went 0-17 from the floor in the fourth quarter. A bunch were missed by the player CTK left uncovered - he stood at the three point line and missed uncontested threes - but Davis and Griffen both missed shots under much more pressure than they had been facing earlier in the game. When two guys score 75% of your points, this is the sort of thing good teams can do against you. I'll be charitable and say that with Griffin hurt most of the year, Stepinac's staff probably hadn't seen an athletic team make adjustments to beat them and hadn't thought through how to counter. Because they kept doing the same thing over and over again and it didn't come close to working.

Step lost to Christ the King 56-61. RJ had 22-8-5 with just one turnover. Not the greatest shooting splits but still a respectable performance in front of Pat.
My only thing is I'm not sure why Ewing has his foot on the gas like this unless he thinks RJ can be a lead guard and that having a lead guard is going to be an urgent need sooner than later. Might be thinking Akinjo or Mac could make the leap next season. It could also be a long-con, but I can't remember the last time Georgetown recruited a player with this intensity.

Interesting!What does he know about '19? Isn't Terrence Shannon announcing tomorrow? Maybe PE knows something we don't....maybe that's why he was in NY instead of watching Gardner . I kid, I have no idea what's going on. Just scouring twitter for recruiting updates when I'm bored.

Davis would be two years behind Akinjo, which would be perfect. We still have Mosely next year.

I dont get too much from HoyasReport but I keep my eyes on the present and the future. He ( Coach Ewing) must know something! LOL I would like Gardner and Shannon.

He has that it factor when you watch a guy who shouldnt be dominating, but he is. he is 6'0 maybe 160 and he had over 1000 career points coming into this year, probably gonna finish with over 2500 for his career in a tough conference.

Yo, you're saying this to a board that keeps a Cole Anthony recruiting watch. Wouldn't Cole be more of an issue considering he would come in next season and would probably think he should be given the majority of the ballhandling responsibilities?

I believe as good as he is bringing Cole in next year would be a mistake. Akinjo is doing a great job and I believe he will get better. Cole would be a distraction. If we got some wings who are good ball handlers we will be okay. If we're then fortunate to pickup Davis or the young fella, Ace, in Baltimore or Terrance Williams or some other hot shot we would be set for a few years.

I’m not trying to make a point about there being too many guards fighting for minutes, I’m just saying I don’t know if he would be going that hard for a player if he didn’t think they were a pressing need due to there being an opening.

Akinjo will never make a leap, especially not after next season. No disrespect, as I like his game and think he will have a great college career, but his size and inability to finish in the lane at the college level will keep him from ever sniffing the next level.

Ouch, he's only 18. Give the kid a chance. He just dropped 20+ points on national TV.
