I had underestimated the unique chance Ewing would have to dominate the conversation on the New York stage. I am reluctant to draw too many long-term conclusions from one big week, but we just dominated national headlines throughout the week. I will say this — if we go on a sustained run here, we will look back on this team and this week as the spark that got things going. And I definitely think we can use this week’s success to hopefully continue to build on our recent recruiting successes. Ewing and Georgetown got tons of press this week and lots of support from former NBA colleagues. That unique background really helped elevate the coverage to another level during the week. Without overstating it, I think what we did was bigger than just a standard 4-day run through the BET. This is what i was beginning to see that led to stepping out, taking a risk, and making a prediction.

Are we getting a bit ahead of ourselves?
Yes we are.
Do I care?
No. Hope is a good thing.

Coach Ewing has worked hard at recruiting it will definitely pay off now. To all the haters on this threads who disrespected coach and his staff go to hell. Let’s go Hoyas!

If it can be sustained then MSG/Big East Tournament may well become Hoyas homecourt advantage with all the Patrick/Knicks fans in attendance.

Has there been any chatter on social media from current commits or potential recruits about the 4gm stretch? It would be nice to hear that Aminu, Ryan and Jordan were pumping out their chests. Or Dug was saying we looked enticing. Just wondering.

Or Dug was saying we looked enticing. Just wondering. There have been a few from Ryan. This past month and in particular this week, local coaches with top talent have been saying their players are deeply interested in Georgetown. Some guys look at Maryland, but many look to get out of town. One five star to entered the transfer bracket has said he wants to come back home and there is one school in particular that is the top of his list to be at next year.

Also saw a couple from Jordan Riley. Just your typical sharing the post and adding a few words of encouragement. They were on his Instagram story, so they're probably gone by now

In the words of Barack Obama, elected twice to be president of these United States, they just need to see me win!

Ewing is everywhere in the media. He has probably covered his salary 3X+ with the value of his media mentions over the last 7 days.

That's an aspect that I think a lot of people overlook when we talk about people's salary. For example, research one institutions value teaching, however they value publications in media hits more.
