With only two days left til his announcement who's the favorite here? Georgetown should get him- I believe we’re the only school that’s told him he’s a 1-and-done. I honestly don't like one and done! I get it if your talented, but I prefer kids that want to win first, not come here to show case their skills and bounce. We need to get our wins up before we can turn GU into a revolving door. |

The one and done comment is such a non-factor. The only way this kid goes 1nD is if he completely balls out, which would be a good thing. The goal should be to get kids that are capable of being drafted in 2yrs. The kid didn't say he was leaving after one year he said the goal was to be 1nD. I just don't see a problem with the idea of kids wanting to be 1nD. The problem is when kids aren't ready and they still declare. That is bad for the school and the kid.

Yep we're going to get him - kids love to be told what they want to hear. |

The highlights I have seen of him are really impressive. Adding him to Allen, who has already committed, is a great start to the 2023 class. Go and add a high quality big man and the Hoyas will be in business!!! |

Boya - youre a huge asset here in the recruiting forum keeping many of us updated with links, and likely have more insight than many of us - which makes these last couple posts you made so much more disingenuous. You know full well thats how the game is played. Promise these kids the moon and the stars. Acting like this wouldnt be a huge recruiting win because we told the kid what he wanted to hear is pretty shallow even for your anti-Ewing/current admin agenda. At what point does the cloud you hold over the program go from critiquing fandom to rooting for failure? |

When boya started talking about Marvel slipping, a commitment followed shortly thereafter. Now he is talking about sketchy recruiting…a commitment might very well be imminent. hm |

Going up against NC State who is about to fire its coach, I expect to get the kid. |

Agreed but we also have those games where we have a Muhammad doing too much and not playing as a team. |

If anybody on here thinks I don't want this kid you're wrong. We need to toughen up the SF thru C positions going forward. Last year Holloway was the only reliable guy throughout all three positions mentioned. I want BEAST that wanna play hard for Pat and GU, I'm just not in favor of 1-n-Dones! So with that said I hope he stays home and plays for PE.

Zero chance he’s a one and done. And if our staff is telling him he is, then that’s a problem into itself.

Agreed but we also have those games where we have a Muhammad doing too much and not playing as a team. This happened more because of lack of talent than Aminu trying to get his numbers up. I think he felt pressure to carry the team to get Ws not get drafted. Someone ranked as highly as Aminu expects to get drafted. |

At what point does the cloud you hold over the program go from critiquing fandom to rooting for failure? As someone already stated Boya has been crossed over to rooting for failure. If he thinks a player may commit to GTown the negative posts start. If he thinks the player will commit to someone else the "I can't be we didn't recruit this player harder" posts start🤷🏾♂️ |

Looks like it's NC state. Boya can breathe easy.

Acting like this wouldnt be a huge recruiting win because we told the kid what he wanted to hear is pretty shallow even for your anti-Ewing/current admin agenda. At what point does the cloud you hold over the program go from critiquing fandom to rooting for failure? All he said is we are going to get him because kids love being told what they want to hear and people accused that of being anti Ewing. It sounds like those calling him out are anit Boya. I am not a huge fan of this signing if he is coming here with legit 1nD dreams. He is so far from being 1nD that if he tries to force it on the offensive end it will be a disaster. He's athletic with a high upside but his game just hasn't developed like many thought it would. That is why he keeps dropping. If he comes in and develops he could certainly be good down the road becuase he has the makeup. The staff has to realize he's a bit of a project. Why would they set themself up to have to deal with the huge false promises in the future. It's one thing to blow smoke. It's another to say something outlandish that could set the kid up with false hope. "If you come here you have a chance to make the NBA in a few years" should be sufficient for a player like him and much different than "having a plan to be a 1nD". Maybe this is why everyone leaves if this is the level of BS we are shoveling. This is not where I would be using the scholarship we dont have for next year either. I think there are beter options. If he comes I will be happy to have him as a Hoya like I am all of the players that play at Georgetown. He is a good kid that values education. Now the people that want to call someone out there is actual ammo you can use. |
