Posts like this are why I just check in maybe once or twice a week now. My Lord.

Kid can hoop, but I’ve heard some not so good things about him from people who would know.
I’m sure the staff will do their due diligence considering all that transpired this season, but there are a few red flags, off the court.

If you’re a believer, just pray that destination isn’t here.
If so, God help us all.

I’m not offended or jilted. 20 years of working in sports media, I know when an athlete is trying to make a statement. That can very easily be interpreted as a dig on a coach that doesn’t possess those attributes, in his opinion. 20 years in sports media as well. From columnist to producer. There’s zero chance he was taking a dig at Coach Ewing.

There’s zero chance that kid was thinking of a way to take a shot at Coach Ewing.
Zero.
Y’all need to stop looking for ways to be offended.

I agree with the premise but I don’t think this situation amplified the issue. Georgetown was just a placeholder and once he didn’t my sign his LOI, the writing was on the wall. He got what he wanted ... *shrug* Wish him well and move on.

Considering what has already transpired this season, I would like to think there’s zero chance this happens if Coach Ewing has a convo with Coach Turgeon about what it was like coaching them.
We can do better.

The thing is, so many acts are already in town for Howard Homecoming regardless, it’s hard to fathom how you can’t get someone to take a quick trip over, do a few songs, take some pics and be done with it.
You watch Kentucky’s event and then ours and ... SMDH.

Surprised we didn't just ask Wale to perform again. He's local, He just performed in Silver Spring last night. He's a big fan of the program. He Plays in Philly tonight and NY on Saturday, but in theory could easily play DC and get up to NY the next day if properly motivated with some money. He’s got an album coming out Friday. Doubt he’s an even an option though I wouldn’t mind being wrong.

From the WaPo article: "Georgetown was Williams’s last official visit, and one that almost didn’t happen. Williams said he never truly thought about staying local for college until his AAU coach, Keith Stevens of Team Takeover, a Nike-affiliated squad in the Washington area, advised him to take a visit. He did in late June and was hosted by Hoyas rising sophomore Mac McClung. It was then, Williams said, that he “fell in love” with the school." Thank you, Mr. Stevens. It's all about relationships. Bingo. It’s not rocket science. Really good pull by the staff.

List is growing with competitive names. ☹️👎🏻 Good. Let’s get back to actually winning recruiting battles vs big-time programs.

I disagree that Monroe can't play at high level anymore as he's only 28. He hasn't been in a situation where his skill set fits and it looks like it has caused him to lose his confidence. He also has responsibility to evolve his game and improve his skill set. Based on his game during his two years on the Hilltop, I'm absolutely shocked he never developed a reliable perimeter jumper. Sans the perimeter touch, there isn't much difference between Monroe's and Jokic's skill sets... This is just ridiculous. There is no comparison between Jokic's skill level and Greg. None at all. I get that we all are Homer's when it comes to our own but that's a really bad take. Greg Monroe unfortunately is likely no longer an NBA caliber player. His days are numbered. There is no misutilization of his skills. He is just slow, plodding, can't shoot and not good enough around the basket to overcome that or the lack of defense. This. How Greg gets compared to Jokic is beyond me. He might not even be in the NBA next season and it’s not just because he can’t shoot.

Reggie the most glaring omission. Nice shirt though I have no idea how he doesn’t get included on a shirt like that. Sheesh.

I’d be surprised if he ended up anywhere besides Memphis.

Fantastic addition.
Next season this team should make some noise. The pieces are there.

Glad that’s over.
Let’s bring in Allen and be done with 2019.
