If roster is any issue why would he consider LSU? Their roster is in shambles too Just repeating what has now been said by multiple sources. I guess McMahons pitch gave TW more confidence think the LSU roster than Georgetowns. But your point is certainly well taken. Not to mention, one school has a good coach and the other has Pat Ewing.

We've graduated 1 player out of 22 freshmen recruits, and there are only 4 possible degrees left in that group (Ryan, Riley, Dante, Wilson) Which of Blair or Pickett didn’t graduate?

I wonder what Ewing says when a recruit asks him about this incredible turnover. I wonder what the transfers say when they are asked about their time at GU (I assume some of these guys know and talk to each other). I have a hard time believing that a recruit can look at this and think that playing here for this coach is a good idea.

If Holloway leaves, how many of Ewing’s recruits will have either transferred or been dismissed? I wonder what the average tenure is for his recruits?

The inevitable outcome here is schools paying players directly and putting them on a contract which is the way it always should have been.

Unless every player you sign is better than Holloway, which will not happen, this is a loss. Fellas, you have to stop thinking and coaching with your heart and instead coach and thinking with your brain. Some of you guys get your heart and feelings wrapped up in these dudes and become blind. Some of you want Collin to start at the PF. Seriously. First of all, he's super slow. His lateral quickness and movement is 3 out of 10 at best. He has not lift. Not even sure if he can grab the rim. He can't rebound. Offensively, once the Big East opposition had time to scout him, his production dropped and became inconsistent. He could only go left and knock down the occasional 3. He had no mid-range game at all. He was added to the team out of high school at the end of the recruiting period with very few offers (McNeese State and Texas State) and none from Power 5. Why? Because no other coach saw him as a Power 5 or even a Big East baller. That should tell you a lot. Yes he improved. But he was still not a Big East ball baller. The fact that he did improve just shows that Pat squeezed a lot of juice from that turnip. If you want to speak as if you are coach, start thinking like a coach. With your brain... Not your hearts... Good news, the guy who decided to give this apparently completely unqualified player a scholarship is going to decide on his replacement. Should probably work out great.

Seems like Primo Spears will be committing to us shortly. Love it or hate it we now have guard depth. He’s accustomed to long losing streaks so should fit right in.

Seemed pretty acceptable to suggest that other programs were cheating a few months ago without a detailed schematic of money laundering and proof that only a FBI sting operation could provide. When we hire the same coaches that did the recruiting for LSU and Xavier and bring over the same bundled players to our program because we are desperate and coming off of a 0-20 season, the goalposts change and the burden of proof is now the same as that of a death penalty trial. That is a cynical narrative. But, 100% accurate.

Where is there any evidence that we are using NIL legally to procure these players? C'mon. That's not now how it works. These are endorsement deals, of course there will be evidence they exist.

Where is there any evidence that we are using NIL legally to procure these players? Where is there any evidence that we've received the commitment of any player or are recruiting players outside the bounds of NIL/NCAA rules? We are just presuming guilt now without even the accusation of impropriety? Yowza - you've jumped the shark boya. He’s just asking what the NIL deals are. Since they are public marketing contracts, it’s strange that nobody knows anything about them. I think these guys should be paid as much as possible though I think it should be primarily the schools paying and not only through this system that pushes the burden on third parties so I hope that whatever is going on, these guys are getting as much as they can. They deserve it way more than the guys currently getting rich off this basketball team.

Here come the no credibility team. If the new assistant coaches were Jay Wright, the ghost of John Wooden and Bill Self, hoyaboya and 9797 would still find something to complain about. But, what part of what Boya said isn’t true?

Please name some of the elite recruits Brooks procured for his previous employers. Nickleberry was fired after failing as head coach at Howard. He was fired from LSU as the university moved away from proven cheater Will Wade’s staff. Brooks was fired from Xavier as the university moved away from Travis Steele’d failure of a tenure. The idea that we significantly upgraded our assistant coaching ranks enough to prop up the failure of Patrick Ewing is a pipe dream, based on the hiring of these guys and the promotion of Crouch. None of these guys has been part of a successful high major college basketball coaching staff. You have such a sad life. Wake up every day and litter every thread with negativity. It doesn't matter what the thread is. Coaches, players, program, your mother, whatever. You're not only a clown, you're clown that has nothing better to do with his sad life than post negative comments on message boards. Even if everything you said was true (and to be sure, it's not), the point would still hold: you have sad and depressing life, and the overwhelming majority of this board can't stand you. Which part isn’t true?

Needs to be better on the defensive side of the ball. If he has any desire to get better and play after college, he’d be advised to ignore any defensive coaching he gets from Patrick Ewing and crew.

Sorry, that Ewing is horrible is established fact and anyone who would tie his future to him is an idiot. This is the way it is. Do you want GTown to be good or do you want GTown to be bad? Your reaction to GTown getting a good player is very odd. Almost like you don't want good players to come to GTown…..Would you rather have another 6-25 season to ensure that Ewing isn't coaching after next year? I would like them to be good but in a sustainable way. What this failure of a coach is doing in reboot #4 is not that. He will fail because that’s what he does and he’ll be off trying to find seven new players in year one, part five. It’s ridiculous.

Sorry, that Ewing is horrible is established fact and anyone who would tie his future to him is an idiot. This is the way it is. Isn't it equally idiotic then to continue to come on this board every day if you think the program has no future...you must have better things to do. Again the vast vast majority of this board (including myself) do not feel Ewing should be the head coach here any longer. The facts support it...yet here we are...and regardless of what most of us want he is the coach for this team for at least next season. So what are you going to do...take pot shots and resort to name calling to every kid that comes thought the door this off-season? That includes our freshman who obviously are at least partly here because Ewing is the head coach. Explain to me what you are trying to achieve? You just want to come on here and say something antagonistic just to get a response? Crap on every kid that joins the program because you hate Ewing as a coach? You realize you're preaching to the choir right, 98% of the board feels Ewing should be gone it's just that 97% us don't have the time to bitch and moan about it on every single post, every single day. To be honest isn't this exactly what you should want? There is a good chance Nickleberry can bring in the type of talent Ewing has never had. If he fails w/that talent then it's the ultimate sign he is an utter failure as a coach, if the team suceeds then great the team you root for and love is successful.. it is the team your root for right? It doesn’t take that much time.

Turns out he’s not a teenager. He's also not the "idiot" in this case. Sorry, that Ewing is horrible is established fact and anyone who would tie his future to him is an idiot. This is the way it is.

Turns out he’s not a teenager. Yes but Bass and Anglin are...do you consider them idiots? Unless Georgetown was clearly their best option, their decision making is suspect. Unless they picked GU for the school and basketball is just an add on in which case I’d say they made a great choice.

Another reminder that teenagers can be idiots. Pretty sure calling a player - and a new recruit at that - an idiot will be deleted by tonight. 9797 I don't disagree that Ewing has been terrible and in 98% of programs would be gone. I am not as bitter as you about it but I get it, and don't have a problem with your repeated "reminders" to the Board. But c'mon, calling a teenager an idiot? Of course he is going to say he wants to play for the coach, whether or not that is one of his primary reasons. Choose your battles a little more appropriately. Turns out he’s not a teenager.
