Anyone watch the Johnnies beat Butler tonight? Packed on-campus gym. Impressive freshman class with amazing point guard. Program heading up with NY media just itching to get on board. Meanwhile back in DC... I had the same reaction as you... an actual home court advantage would probably help wipe away 1 or 2 of our typical embarrassing headscratchers per year.

Sounds like Jonny Rothstein will be tuned in tonight. But I think he needs to cool his jets and let us play the game before he goes overboard making our newfound pressing/trapping sound like Nolan Richardson's Arkansas teams.

I'm a little disappointed...I think he would have done well at Georgetown. He may still end up a Hoya, stranger things have happened, but don't like the turn this recruitment has taken. At the end of the day, I trust Jt3 and the staff. Sounds like you're hinting that Gtown wasn't ready to take a verbal from Beatty at this time.. Full disclosure I wasn't as high on him as I had been so I'm ok if this is their decision but it will make me question their recruiting methods again.. Why have the youngster come to a big Gtown event if you weren't ready to take a verbal from him? The kid got to meet Gtown royalty on Thursday, got to witness what looks to be a ridiculously spectacular athletic center, it's not hard to see him wanting to sign up.. If they were unsure about Beatty, wouldn't it have been better to wait on the visit, keep the options open? They spent a lot of time/effort recruiting him to waste it imo.. All of this. Exactly. But most specifically this: "They spent a lot of time/effort recruiting him to waste it imo.." Why go to such lengths to get a kid excited by the prospect of being a Hoya... if you're not ready for him to be a Hoya? Feels like another opportunity flushed down the toilet.

At the end of the day, I trust Jt3 and the staff. He was billed as a scrapper with some Jabril in him. If nothing else, the attitude/mentality we always seem to be a little short on when JT3 and others are coming across as too placid/stoic in the face of uninspired play. Can't help but feel that many of our worst wounds on the recruiting trail are self-inflicted.

Any word on a possible official visit? Good timing. His twitter says he's coming for an official visit tomorrow. Thought officials usually take place over weekends, but guess not in his case.

If Moultrie commits, would he be considered SRD?......if we lose out on a local kid to Monmouth it's time to abandon ship......just saying..... Since I remember seeing his name listed as a Hoya Madness attendee 2-3 years ago, he's been on the radar forever. Pretty sure that squashes his SRD credentials, though yes it would be painful kick in the jimmies if he chose Monmouth over us.

Not pictured in the group photo: Akoy Agau. Commence rampant speculation now.

So now we have an extra scholarship, right? Any late transfers to go after out there?? *ducks and runs* I'd assume we're back at 13 right?... Uh-oh. We sure we're not about to lose another?

one more shameless request: anyone know of some good bars around the XL center in Hartford to celebrate tomorrow's impending win? i'll be in attendance. I deleted the email, but If I remember it right, the Hoop Club is recommending people gather at Steam City Brewery, just a few blocks away from XL, after the game.

All the St. Anthony's (NJ) kids are signing their LOI's on Monday. The trend seems to be for the High Schools to do a coordinated press event where the student athletes sign their LOI's Yep, made it official this morning:

Interesting comment from Ron over at the HoyaReport, which if I'm interpreting correctly, seems to imply that the Casual Hoya article questioning Bracey's "worthiness" as a Hoya target has negatively impacted his recruitment. Wouldn't expect to see Bracey in a Hoya uniform.

Sounds very much like we're on the outside looking in. Too bad.

Daquan was re-tweeting Casual Hoya's scouting report of him which talked about him not being a top level recruit and it would be hard for him to find playing time and how we may be slow playing him, etc. And he of course took exception to it. A he should, the article was not kind to him. Threw a lot of shade his way Everything I've ever seen and read about this kid - except for on Hoya recruiting sites - indicates that he's a gamer. Tight handle, high motor and a defensive nuisance. Not sure why it matters since it appears that the staff moved on from him a while ago, but I think he deserves better than the reception he'd get here.

Yaboy been hacked? I'm going to bet that Blake gets offered on this visit. Still no news of an offer... Blake's "camp" has been prolific in tweeting/re-tweeting news of his prior offers so I'm guessing one still hasn't been made. Or maybe he stuck around to spend a few days on campus and will hear something today, who knows... Think he could do well here, though, so hoping he gets an offer and likes us enough to want to commit relatively early in the process.
