I think the fact that House looks like he is going to reclassify is a big tell in this situation. If the rumors/hope that House is going to commit to Georgetown soon are true, then I think the Hoyas know that Walton is going in a different direction. I really like House and think he will be a really good player, who if he had the chance to play this summer and next year in high school would have been a top 100 recruit in the 2021 class. In his highlights he reminds me a little of LJ Peak, (aggressive/athletic, slasher/scorer). His game is certainly different from Walton, who is considered an elite shooter. I know that House is not as accomplished a shooter as Walton at this point, but that doesn't mean he can not develop that part of his game. Where are you getting that House would have been a Top 100 recruit in the 2021 class? He is presently a 2 Star recruit on most sites that I see and has offers from besides us...Howard, Old Dominion, Mount Saint Mary, etc... I like the look of him but nowhere do I see it being stated he was a top 100 talent if he stayed in the 2021 class... Where are you seeing that he's a 2 star recruit? He doesn't have an ESPN profile, and he's unranked on 247 and Rivals. Verbal Commits has him as a 2 star, but they don't do their own rankings, they aggregate other rankings, so if they list a player as a 2 star that always just means that there's no ranking data available. I'm not arguing that House is a top 100 recruit in the 2021 class, just clarifying that there's a difference between being unranked and being ranked as a 2 star recruit. I'm not sure what his stats were with Team Loaded last summer, but he must not have been on anyone's radar after that. Also keep in mind that last summer was the first summer with the new/difficult summer schedule for live recruiting periods. House seemed to really take off this winter at Middleburg, but most recruiting analysts don't attend minor high school games, which is why some people think if he performed similarly this upcoming summer he would have gotten more attention and gotten evaluated and ranked (no clue where in the rankings).

Wasn't sure where to put this. Going to be very interesting to see who Wake gets. I think it will end up being someone that those that want to turn the page would be happy with.

Just two more hours till the deadline to declare passes, and still not a peep out of Omer. It’s starting to feel like he might actually be a candidate to come back next season. Though, is it possible that he declared and just didn’t make a public announcement? Do NBA teams have an official list internally? Posting because of the comment that he official NBA list will be coming out in a few days. I fully expect Yurtseven's name to be on that.

We are not out of the running until Walton makes his announcement that he will be committing to Minn, UNC, Arizona, Creighton or Vandy. So you think us offering a 2* 6'4" SG is just a coinky-dink and that we actually compete in recruiting with UNC? I’m assuming you’re talking about Jaden House, who got a Georgetown offer on December 21, 2019. That was about two weeks before Walton had a Georgetown offer. Just wanted to correct your timeline.

This was his fourth year, so I don't know that he has to declare does he? As best I understand, even if you graduate, if you have eligibility remaining you have to declare. So Jagan who played 4 years does not, but Omer who played 3 years does.

I don't think it's ever a great sign when the player doesn't look like the best player on their own highlight reel. I don’t think it’s a good sign we keep offering kids who aren’t even ranked by major recruiting services. I get the rankings are subjective, but at some point there is a basis for what they do. If we want to take a flier on a kid every year like this (Sodom, Igohefe, Harris) that’s ok. But multiple kids in the same class just feels like we are really reaching when no other major offers are there. Hoyas gave out 70 reported offers in the class of 2020, most of which were ranked players.

One of the premier names at this year’s Virginia Phenom 150, 2021 6’4 Jaden House was one of the prospects that stole the show, as he showed a tremendous upside with a blend of length, size, and ability to control the action on the floor. House’s move to Middleburg Academy has been going well so far, as he has been able to showcase his array of skills on the court and it seems to be paying off. “I’ve definitely shown more range on my jumper, being able to shoot from farther outside the three,” House told Phenom Hoops. “And my role has been just being a leader, making sure that the team stays together all throughout the game.” Already holding multiple offers, House received word that another program would be joining in his recruitment, an offer that certainly felt good receiving. Assistant coach Akbar Waheed from Georgetown had been expressing interest in House for some time and on December 21, the Hoyas pulled the trigger and offered. “(It) felt good to get this one because of the way they play and just the atmosphere of Georgetown basketball,” House replied. “They just said that they want to get me on the campus as soon as possible and that they love my game with me being a strong guard and can play both the 1 or the 2.”Georgetown now joins his list of offers that also include James Madison, Old Dominion, Stetson, Howard, and Mount St. Mary’s, with each one saying different things from each staff. However, all of them absolutely love the “dog mentality” that House possesses on the court. Jaden House reclassing to ‘20 per twitter and wants to make a decision soon.

Re-offer? Re-announcement? Either way he has loved the Hoyas for months.
