Now Jeff says he is staying? Is this week too good to be true?

[StPetersburgHoya (Inactive)]

That is amazing if its true.

Next year's rotation would be sick.

Front Court: Jeff, Roy, Macklin, Ewing, Summers

Backcourt: Wallace, Sapp, Austin, Wright

lmao @ Ralph Dalton's & Reggie's miracles comments..

I read Jeff's comments more as "I want a degree" than "I'm 100% sure I'm playing for Georgetown next season." As Vince Carter would tell you, it's possible to graduate while participating in the NBA playoffs.

Roy is clearly more definitive than Jeff.

Some excellent stuff overall, and the guy shows a pretty good sense of self-deprecating humor despite the razzing.

I had the exact initial reaction except for the part where he actually says he wants to stay for 4 years (and then I started over-analyzing... why would he say this? Why is Hibbert more credible even though he is 7'2? etc etc)

"I've been talking to my dad and I want to get a degree. People in my family haven't gotten the opportunity that I have, so I want to take advantage of that and get myself a degree, so I think I'm going to stay all four years....You know, after basketball, what else am I going to have? So me getting a degree is a big part of my future."

Of course, what else can he say at this point in the season?

[Gold Hoya]

Agreed SFO. The way I read it is that Jeff will consider the NBA after this year, while Roy won't even think about it.

DC Sports Bog breaks more Hoya Hoops-related news. Or at least picks up on something I had not seen before:

Georgetown's director of basketball ops, Matt Henry, was in Washingtonian over the summer as one of the mag's 20 most eligible singles.

Here are the particulars on Henry: he's 27 years old, he used to be an assistant at DIII Trinity (Texas), he grew up in Alexandria and attended Sidwell Friends, his mom bought 15 or 20 copies of the magazine in question, the players have been killing him over the publicity thing and he's, um, not technically an eligible single. Dating the same woman now he was when the magazine came out.

Pretty funny, I can imagine the razzing he is taking from the team. This type of stuff did not happen 3 years ago, much less 23 years ago.
