Creighton came down to earth. UConn is next. We don’t need bandwagon fans. Let’s go Hoyas!! When will Gtown get off the ground for a bit at least? When DeGioia retires and someone who does not kneel at the Thompson alter comes in and realizes the disaster that is throwing away millions of dollars yearly in the hopes of resurrecting the 80's.

Patrick built this program on his own shoulders. He is responsible for the Final Four runs that made this program notable. Unfortunately, he is now responsible for burning the program to the ground. Enough is enough. Name an interim coach to start the Big East Season. Fire Ronny and allow this program to start rebuilding. It’s not going to happen. Ewing has a whole new starting lineup the admin will allow him to finish the season. I completely agree with you and it is both sad and an insult as an alumnus. The administration holds students to a much higher standard. It is absolute malfeasance by DeGioia at this point. He should be shown the door on the way out as well.

Syracuse is 2-13 from 3 and we are down 16 with a minute left.

The takeaway from this game is Syracuse is not good. Lucky this game is this close at this point.

Complaining in this chat board is probably helpful on an individual level. But to actually help make a change, it will require letters to the President. Lots of them. Start sending them in if you are fed up. What is the best way to contact him? I would like to ask for his resignation as well due to his lack of leadership and allowing the University to be in this position. I plan to send a letter after every loss.

Watching Ronnie T coach up Ezewiro riding a stationary bike between the Hoyas bench and the player tunnel killed me. It's not a serious program at the moment. Talent is there. Coaching is not. The best thing that can happen for the program as a whole is to keep losing. It needs to be blatantly obvious to those in charge what needs to happen.

The only science that Georgetown is following is the political science of its activist faculty members. Is it true that students must wear a mask only in class but it is optional for professors? If it is true it is embarrassing and shameful. It just further reveals what I always felt while attending the University, that the students are perceived as a nuisance.

I truly don't want to argue with you, but...0-20, perhaps. No at large bids in 5 years. Roster upheaval nearly every year. A defense that was ranked in the 200s, and has been awful every season except perhaps one. The worst season in Georgetown modern history. Nearly the worst high major team in all of D-1. And, of that vaunted recruiting class, 3 of the 5 guys are gone, and one of the remainders is Mutombo who isn't going to leave probably under any circumstance. I get it, you think that BET/top 15 recruiting class is enough. But to act like there's no reason to fire a coach like that is ignoring a lot of facts. The question was "is there anyone who would believe SRC deserves another year at the helm?" I said yes I did not say that "there's no reason to fire a coach like that" otay? The better question is…”Name a program outside of Georgetown that does not fire said coach?” The answer to this will tell us where we stand. I’m honestly interested to hear responses. DePaul is the obvious, who else?

They’re not changing the AD when the AD barely has any say on basketball (by design) and practically every other meaningful Hoya sport is thriving at the moment. Again, not happening any time soon. Actually they don’t have to let Reed go, JD just needs to hire an AD for basketball only that shouldn’t be an issue right? What they should do is allow Reed to do his job. As mentioned above the other sports are thriving. A change that could be made in May and change the direction of the program is actually having oversight over the program.

This is depressing. Is it time for the program to drop down to a different conference? The way this program is run is pathetic and embarrassing. Either drop down to the Patriot League or MEAC or just hire Ronnie outright and pledge allegiance to the Family and kiss the ring. No, of course not--the Big East is our home. FWIW, the MEAC could be out of business within two or three years. hbcusports.com/2022/04/17/report-howard-to-bolt-meac-join-colonial-athletic-conference/How long can we continue with our current state of being completely irrelevant? It seems like we aren’t even trying to compete at this point. Not only on the court but more so off the court.

Here is a comprehensive list of players brought in under Ewing: 2018 Class: - Blair - played 4 years; presumably graduated- Pickett - played 4 years; presumably graduated- Malinowski - played a year as a transfer after sitting one year - Walker - dismissed October 11, 2018 (originally recruited by JT3, but stayed on after Ewing was hired) - Sodom - dismissed December 17, 2017- Dickerson - played one year; no more eligibilty 2019: - McClung - transferred to Texas Tech after sophomore season- Akinjo - transferred to Arizona during sophomore season - Carter - transferred to UT Arlington after sophomore season - LeBlanc - transferred to LSU during sophomore season - Yurtseven - played after sitting out then left to go professional 2020: - Gardner - announced transfer in December 2019; went to South Plains College; then Little Rock- Ighoefe - transferring- Wahab - transferred to Maryland;- T. Allen - played one year; no more eligibility - Wilson - still on team- Alexander - announced transfer in December 2019; transferred to Texas Southern2021: - Clark - transferring to SEMO after 2022 season- Sibley - transferred to UTEP after freshman season - Holloway - transferring; currently in portal- Carey - played two years, now in portal- J. Harris - played a few games, then left team in fall 2020- D. Harris - still on team - Berger - transferred after 2021 season to San Diego - Bile - played one year; went professional 2022: - Tre King - dismissed before the the season started, never played a game at Georgetown- Mohammed - NBA draft but not in portal yet - Beard - transferred to Pacific after freshman season- Billingsley - transferring; destination unknown - Riley - still on team - Mutombo - still on team- Rice - played one year; no more eligibility 2023: - Bristol - commits January 2022 but does not play (presumably not eligible until 2022-2023 season) - Murray - just committed; transfer from LSU - Anglin - incoming freshman - Bass - incoming freshman I tried to be as accurate as possible here so that we have a comprehensive list, but I realize I may have a few things wrong. If so, let me know and I'll update this post. EDIT at 12:00 pm, 4/29/2022 (added Bristol, hat tip to calhoya; also realized I had mislabeled the class years, so fixed that too) EDIT at 12:03 pm, 4/29/2022 (added Tre King, hat tip to prhoya for pointing out my missing him) 2003 what is the purpose of this list besides getting the The Anti-Ewing Mob worked up? I never took you for one of the members. This topic has been dragged through the mud countless times over the last calender year. A question was asked as to the retention of players recruited by Ewing. 2003 took the time to answer and detail the facts about this program. Just because the information looks terrible for the program does not mean it should be hidden.

Would it surprise anyone if Georgetown has NIL deals in place and made every effort to make known as little as possible?

Wow. Ward & Murray would be two locals. Throw in about three to four more transfers and we are cooking with gasoline. Figure we need Bates at the 5, one of these guards and a power forward to get it going. Could you please give a little more info on who Ward is and why this hire seems to be important in his recruitment? Thanks, it is hard to keep track of all of this.

Agree with this dragon and did not mean to imply that I think Dante is a high major pg. I don't know what his ceiling is but I do know that every time I watched him play he played hard (barring some late game moments when the team sagged). I think that he should have been benched many times for being out of control, but never did I think he should be benched for lack of effort. It is hard for me to imagine another high major program is going to give Harris the same freedom and opportunity he had here. Still I wish all the departing players well. I'm more with calhoya on this one. If this rumor is true Dante won't transfer up but they're plenty of schools around our level that will take him in a heart beat. Dante issues were more feeling that he had to do too much for our team. I think when he was surrounded by more talent he played better. I also doubt that Ewing is running him off. He probably doesn't expect Aminu back and doesn't want to live through another year like last year. It the rumor is true it's disappointing because I always viewed Dante as the type to want ownership over the team. This would tell me he is a lot like Ewing in not taking any blame for why things were so bad last season. Kid should be grinding but instead he is running... It is really hard to blame him for leaving is this is true. He is part of a team where there is a mass exodus, friends are leaving and he is completely unsure of what the team will look like next year. As of right now the returning scholarship players are Motumbo, Riley, Holloway, Bristol and Wilson (although that rumor mill is swirling too). He is probably looking for a stable situation where he is certain he can develop more. He didn't construct the roster so I don't see how he has to take any blame for the lack of a team around him.

Guys I know we’ve had our problems getting the NIL launched. But we just had John Carroll Weekend, a huge gathering of people with the time, money, connections, and inclination to help Georgetown. Could really help us get this thing off the ground. Thank God we took advantage of the opportunity and — *reads article* — complained to Nancy Pelosi about a player on Kentucky. Aidan is doing some fantastic work on behalf of all of us and should be commended. He thankfully is giving us a glimpse into the inner workings of the Georgetown administration (no matter how terrifying that may be). Unfortunately his most recent article reveals the mindset of the university to me. I will paraphrase it as “we are better than everybody else, have more morals and will do things the right way.” I for one am very happy their moral compass feels talented individuals should be used for profit, of which none of it are they deserving. (Sarcasm for those who can’t tell). Let’s get rid of all the old talking heads and join 2022.

The idea that Ewing is a good recruiter is pretty questionable to say the least--I'll admit that he has spotted a few hidden gems, but in general we have players who are not good shooters, play out of control, are poor defenders, and have generally pretty low basketball IQ's. He does not compete well for the top prospects out of HS generally. It's not that hard-to-find guys who fit a few measurables but really aren't very good basketball players--the idea that he can "coach up" these guys has also not worked in practice. It's possible that he may be able to get elite guys a bit better, but we don't really know because he generally has recruited a lot of guys with major deficiencies who has he not been able to improve much. The school admin obviously thought his name would be enough to recruit elite prospects, obviously they did not do their homework on this, and we are now paying the price as a program and university. If the admin had asked any independent people who actually know Ewing if he could recruit before they hired him, they would have gotten resounding no as an answer. All they had to do was ask the players on the roster when JT3 was fired. There was a quote somewhere from Govan saying he knew who Ewing was because of the original Space Jam. This might have been partially in jest but probably has much more truth than the older generation of Georgetown fans want to acknowledge. For instance, I was born in 82 and know Ewing well as I grew up in NY. But I’ve been looking at the history of Georgetown Basketball more and more recently. I honestly don’t see a program that is anywhere near the true blue bloods. Great run in the early 80’s some success in the 90’s. But outside of 82-85 there is no sustained dominance at all. I graduated in 04 and other than the Sweet 16 the program was awful during my years.

This is the type of attention that may eventually get the administration to make a move. The program is being mocked publicly at this point. The current state of affairs is indefensible and anyone trying to defend it clearly values Thompson University over Georgetown University.
