Carlik Jones and Bruner are the 2 best grad transfers available. Both would be the best player on our team. People overstate the impact of grad transfers. Most are just bodies and low impact.

Maryland is not pursuing this kid. We need him. He's tough and a shotmaker. Get him.

All Rookie teams are meaningless to me. It's not a high bar, we had 3 last year and stunk. None were close to all conference players this year and 2 transferred out. It's more opportunity driven than an indication of talent.

Yeah that never happened. Right... Where's the quote from the NBA GM?

It’s HoyaTalk tradition for some fans to think all of our players are going to be NBA players. I will never forgot the guy (can’t remember who) that proclaimed Tre Campbell would be a draft or lotto pick after two years. On McClung he’s not even close to NBA consideration at the moment. He’d have to improve a lot. That doesn’t mean he’s not or can’t be a good player for us in college though. While dude wasn’t proclaiming him a lottery pick, an NBA GM talking about his game translating is the definition of consideration... Yeah that never happened.

He's not close to an NBA player. Lots of kids can score. Role players in the NBA have to defend, rebound, pass and catch and shoot. He doesn't do that.

Marshall taunting Gtown doesn't bother me. He was a local stud and there was no excuse for us not to go all out for him. He rightfully feels slighted. That was a different staff however. But Ewing doesn't recruit locals so not sure he would have ended up here anyway.
Blair getting the green light has been a blessing in disguise. He's a starter next year.

Does Mac have a chance to petition the NCAA for an injury waiver of his sophomore year? What? He's played in most of the games.

Yes for two main reasons : 1. Pat has shown he can coach/ get a team to play hard for him. This is far and away the most enjoyable Hoyas team of the last 5 years. Decimated by transfers this team has played together and fought tooth and nail to win games and still haven’t quit. This season could’ve been over at 4-3 and here we are still around the bubble Our teams from 2015-2019 never consistently played this hard. 2. Pat has shown he can bring in talent, coming into the season we had a top 25 caliber roster. The transfers un questionably set the program back a couple years, and pat deserves some blame for that because the buck stops with him. Even after having to recruit on the fly and losing TW, we have landed Tyler Beard, Jamari Sibley and Kobe Clark. All three are tough gritty and somewhat under recruited and have a chip on their shoulders, each I believe can contribute right away. Pat has been working his tail off trying to bring in big talent and it will eventually pay off if it coincides with winning some games. Say we Add in Frankie Collins and a grad transfer wing and we have a young but very talented roster for next season. If Mac takes a step forward this team should be in the dance. Guards- McClung, Beard, Blair, Collins, Harris Wings- Sibley, Pickett, Clark, Grad Transfer Centers- Qudus, Tim, Malcolm Yes, the "every recruit is underrated and underranked" argument every fanbase makes about their lower ranked guys. We have been at a talent deficit relative to our peers for years. That was true under JT3 at the end and it's been true under Ewing and there is no indication that is changing soon. Every coach lands recruits. Bringing in recruits is not a sign of strong recruiting. I think some people are just looking for reasons to throw praise toward Ewing because he is a Hoya legend. If a different coach were bringing in these same recruits, we would hear a different tone.

3 years in a row with no NCAAs and we have the 34th ranked recruiting class. That's not good for a 4 man class. Our guys are ranked 94th, 160, 381, and unranked. The talent has to get better.

We were playing terribly with those guys. Wishful thinking.

10 minutes without a FG. Yikes. Get Blair a look.

Not fair. Every game we lose is because of refs.

Why are we giving it to Iggy in a post up? Need better IQ.

He’s also getting mugged every possession Nah he's forcing it. Refs can't give guys bailouts.

Did Mac not see how well guys played without him because of better ball movement? Can't come in and just look for yours.

You would think they would have put the better game at 8:30 and ours at 6:30.

Y'all are out of your minds, insulting and ungreatful. Ewing and staff have been turning over every rock looking for players. Ewing has shown himself to be a good evaluator of talent. Yet some of you wanna question him and his staff. When in the last 25 years has GTown been this prominent in recruiting? If a talented player list you on his short list, then yes, you absolutely continue to pursue him. What choice do you have? Oh look player X listed us in his top five, but we never get those players so we will stop pursuing him and go after someone else. What are you talking about? We are as much an afterthought in recruiting as we have ever been.
