Reportedly, a lower back injury so no mystery AFAIK. For anyone who's ever had a back issue, recovery is always day-to-day. I think the greater mystery is Dante Harris. Still listed on the roster and even in the boxscore I saw, listed as a DNP. So what's the deal there??? Is Dante even on campus anymore taking classes? Supposedly. At least that's what I was told at the last home game by a fan behind me but I don't know for sure. Is there a current student here on HoyaTalk who may be able to enlighten us?

Oh by the way - I'm in my 60s and just start looking at Little House on the Prairie - what is my life turning into.

I’m assuming not since he left team because of personal/private issues

I think any scholarship opening would only be able to be used in January. But what would make most sense is getting another pg who could play immediately unless you can get a 4-5 star like I assume Miranda is

Anyone who would come here in the middle of this season with the uncertainty with this coaching staff is someone whose judgement needs to be examined very closely.

What is the precedent for anybody coming to a team and playing mid-season (when the person hasn't already been enrolled - I know guys like Josh Smith did it, but that's because they had already transferred in the previous season)? Last year, when Ewing recruited Bristol, there had been a lot of discussion as to whether he could play, and he didn't. Unless someone is being brought in from scratch (i.e., not playing in college ever before), I don't see how this would work for a transfer.
At this point, if the scholarship was open, I'd just give it to Wilson, as he stuck with the team through thick and thin, so much so that he stayed on as a manager after last season, which actually to me, speaks volumes about Wilson, and that he truly values being at Georgetown for non-sports reasons. Even if he didn't play, I'd give it to him because he deserves it.
The idea that any mid-season transfer is going to come in and make a big difference is far-fetched anyway. While we are a bit lacking at depth at PG because Harris left, otherwise we have enough depth to get by, and enough talent that a well-coached team would be in fine shape.

I don't think Miranda would actually play for this year's Hoyas team, but it's a rumor (posted on the recruiting board in his thread) that he's looking to join a college team mid-season. Miranda is a 5th year high school senior and likely has credits to graduate. Therefore, he could use the second semester to get some college credits, train on a college campus and practice with a college team. That could arguably be a better use of his time than training with his current high school team in California. He'd then go pro in the spring and never actually see the court in a Hoyas uniform.

I could not have even imagined saying this in the 43 years I have been a Hoya fan: My wife is a huge Little House on the Prairie fan. Melissa Gilbert is promoting her new book about her time on the show here in Albany with a one hour Q & A followed by a book signing all starting at 7. My wife of course wants very much to go, but said she would understand if I wanted to stay home and watch the game (already get ESPN+ on our flat screen with our Fire stick). I never gave it a moment's thought - Melissa here I come. I watch most weekend games on the DVR so it isn't like you will miss watching it if you want to see it since it is On Demand on ESPN+ I aware of that. I will check the score. If we win I will watch. If not, I'm good.

While knowing nothing about this young man at all or expressing an opinion on the advisability of his doing such a thing, purely as a point of information I do remember that a young player named Stephen Domingo joined the Hoyas second semester 2012-13 (I think it was) straight from his northern Cal high school. It was the first time I had even heard of such a thing happening in hoops (I understand in football it is not uncommon but of course seasons are over at that point). It didn't work out for Domingo at all -- he had been on the US 17U team and was supposed to be quite the shooter. He got little run with us, looked frightened and his shot looked terrible when he did see the floor, and transferred (to Cal) after the next year.

With the new free transfer rule who knows. I think the impediment in the past was the sitting out one year thing. There’s also uncertainty on the transfer window on when that should actually start. But I supposed if someone did have a free transfer left they could use it to play in January. This might be useful to a team that suffers a rash of season ending injuries or just has a hole at a certain position.

drquigley: Man you sound bumbed out. If we are not going to win any more games, what are you going to be doing with your time. 😊. I follow on my phone - this way I won't yell at the TV. I'll check it out on WTEM. I have tickets for 4 weekend games but other than the $240 sunk tickets cost and the outside chance we are competitive by then (and the chance to get together with fellow alum) no real reason to go to those games. So I'll spend my time reading and waiting for baseball season to start.

I didn't remember that but right you are, Professor! He only practiced with the team apparently after joining second semester 2009 (thank you, Wikipedia!), which is perhaps why it didn't stick in my mind (that's my story....)

If we were to have a scholarship available, the class move would be to bring Malcolm back. He's a good guy who may not be super-talented but paid his dues for Georgetown basketball during some horrible years. He didn't deserve to be kicked off the team.

As far as good teams go Texas Tech is a decent matchup for us. They don't shoot a lot of 3 and aren't great shooters. they don't play too fast so could be a slog. They have a good D but we play 1 opn 1 regardless so that shouldn't matter too much. I don't think we win but I gobbled up the 18 this morning. Here's hoping for the best.

GU 2nd half is probably a good play today. We’ve been terrible in the 2nd half but this looks like one of those long garbage time halves where Ewing really shines.
