It has been one month since I posted this and there have been significant changes. Here is an updated overview:
Point Guards
Eric Ayala - 6'5" 180 - IMG Academy
NEW
Recently named Georgetown to his top 9. Arizona, Indiana, Maryland, Miami, Ohio State, Oregon, Georgetown and LSU
247sports.com/Player/Eric-Ayala-77110Xavier Johnson - 6'3" 170 - Arlington, VA - Bishop O'Connell HS
Staff continues to push hard for Xavier. Xavier cut his list to six teams (Georgetown, Washington, Creighton, Nebraska, GT and USF). He is taking official visits to the other five schools in September, but has been to Georgetown many times including recently playing in Kenner League this summer so there is no reason for alarm that the Hoyas are not getting an OV.

Matthew Balanc - 6'3" 175 - Silver Spring, MD

247sports.com/player/matthew-balanc-46047592Kyler Edwards - Arlington, TX - Findlay Prep
NEW Offered by the staff in early August. Edwards is transferring to Findlay Prep this fall. I get the feeling this kids offer list is only getting longer.

NEW Offered back on August 2 along with teammate on Team Loaded NC Landers Nolly

247sports.com/Player/Landers-Nolley-46035894Kiyon Boyd - 6'4" 210 - Washington, D.C.
Recruitment was hot in the spring, but has slowed down a bit and he has dropped in some rankings. Hoyas continue to show interest and remain in the mix.

NEW
Staff offered back on August 1. Horton-Tucker recently released a top 13 which includes the Hoyas. Really good list of offers, MSU considered the favorite.

247sports.com/Player/Aaron-Nesmith-46037774Keldon Johnson - 6'6" 200 - Oak Hill Academy - Team Loaded
Not sure what I can say that hasn't already been said. Would be the biggest recruit in years for the Hoyas, but he looks less and less likely to come play with his brother all the time. The staff is still in pursuit though.
Offered by UK, perceived to be the new favorite. Visited NC State last week.

Cut Georgetown from his list (Northwestern, Miami, Pittsburgh, Xavier, NC State and Princeton)Kobe Brown - 6'7" 220 - Huntsville, AL
Seems like a long shot, big offer list, but we offered back on May 3. Hometown of Mr. Jonathan Wallace of Hoya lore so perhaps there is a connection there.

Bigs
Javian Fleming - 6'9" 230 - Canton, MS
NEW
Recently cut down to his final five - Georgetown, Alabama, Iowa State, TCU and Texas A&M
