In a region that is annually perceived as one of the most talented in the country, the consensus was that the rising junior class was a special one, even by DMV standards. Adidas 3SSB The champions of Adidas’ circuit were crowned in Rock Hill, South Carolina in the first week of the month. New World defeated Team Loaded Virginia in the 17U final, with two prospects in the class of 2024, Khani Rooths and Jaeden Mustaf, playing prominent roles on that team. Under Armour Association Last weekend in Chicago, the UAA crowned their champions in both the 17U and 16U divisions. Team Thrill won both. Derik Queen, a five-star prospect in the class of 2024, played up at the 17U level and was a focal point for his team’s championship run while the Luke Bamgboye and Jadyn Harris led the way for the 16U team, which went undefeated. Isaiah Abraham, Team Takeover, Paul VI (VA) – A 6-foot-6 combo-forward, Abraham had a breakout season with Team Takeover, culminating with some key moments in their run to the finals at last week’s Peach Jam. He’s strong, physical, and a versatile scoring threat, currently ranked 86th overall in the Top247. Patrick Ngongba, Team Takeover, Highland (VA) – After missing all spring with injury, Ngongba returned to the court this month and helped transform Takeover from a team that went from the play-in game to the finals. A true big man, but a skilled one at that, he’s currently unranked but undoubtedly won’t stay that way for long. 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/college-basketball-recruiting-dmv-2024-derik-queen-jaeden-mustaf-darren-harris-190548549/

Harris Shines in OT Bishop O’Connell’s Jadyn Harris went for a reported 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists to lead his squad to an overtime win over Big Red from Mater Dei. This game was a fun one because of how well coached both teams were, even this early in the calendar year. Harris stood out with the totality of his physical tools as he covered the court, showed the strength to play through contact, and athleticism up above the rim, all of which was supported by the high-motor to maximize those physical tools. 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Border-League-Friday-Dedan-Thomas-Aden-Holloway-Mikey-Williams-195432586/

This is where our guy Kevin Nickleberry needs to come through: "With versatility and growth spurts, D.C. area’s junior class stands tall Recruiting website 247 Sports compiles composite rankings for the top 150 prospects in every class; there are eight local players on that list for the Class of 2024. In descending order: No. 28 Freeman (St. John’s) No. 48 Darren Harris (Paul VI) No. 56 Isaiah Abraham (Paul VI) No. 59 Robert Dockery (Jackson-Reed) No. 69 Drew McKenna (Glenelg Country) No. 81 Daquan Davis (St. John’s) No. 136 Caleb Williams (Sidwell Friends) No. 141 Patrick Ngongba (Paul VI) “These kids, a lot of them made a name for themself on the national level in seventh or eighth grade,” said Houston Wilson, a recruiting analyst and the recruiting and evaluation director for the popular CP3 Rising Stars National Camp. “People have been talking about this class for a while.” In addition to those eight, there are four players who started their careers in this area before leaving for far-flung, basketball-centric schools: No. 37 Khani Rooths (Georgetown Prep to IMG Academy in Florida), No. 76 Jaeden Mustaf (DeMatha to Carmel Christian School in North Carolina), No. 90 Del Jones (Bishop O’Connell to Huntington Prep in West Virginia) and No. 107 A.J. Swinton (DeMatha to Oak Hill in Virginia)." www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/12/06/with-versatility-growth-spurts-dc-areas-junior-class-stands-tall/

My guess is we get none of these kids. We should be in touch for round two though in 2026 when these kids transfer from their first school.

This is our new recruiting strategy: establish a relationship with the DMV high school kids, strike out, and wait for them to want to transfer close to home. But I cannot see how a recruit goes to one of our home games at an empty The Cavern, sees Patrick yelling “Move” and “Rebound”, the bench players not getting in the game and looking depressed, Pat yelling at a player six inches away from his face, and thinks “yes, I want to go there”.

By that point Ronny Thompson's kid will be coach and we will be on our path to success the way Ronny let Ball State to glory....oh, wait a minute...

It's at the point where anyone willing to come to Georgetown to play basketball must have judgement so poor that Georgetown shouldn't take them.
Georgetown staff: "You want to play basketball here? Well then something must be so wrong with you that we don't want you. You don't have the proper judgement we expect from our players."
What a nasty, nasty low point.

What's a real shame is that we're going to waste the fact that the class of 2024 is outstanding locally. By not firing Ewing after last season, we've basically given ourselves very little chance to be successful in the class of 2024. Nickelberry was supposed to be our ace in the hole locally from a recruiting standpoint, but at this point he looks like as much of a bust as Ewing is.

Nickelberry brought his boys from LSU. Difficult to land ‘23 & ‘24 kids with utter lack of momentum.
