This late in the offseason the staff is gonna bring in anyone who they can help so I don't begrudge the move. It's just perplexing that people think this changes our projection for next year or adding a low profile local transfer is the start of some local recruiting momentum. I want something to be optimistic about in the worst way. It makes us better because it gives us another shooter, which is a big need. It may help bump us up a spot or two in the conference if forcing teams to respect us from outside keeps them from clogging the lane as much. But yeah, it does not make us an NCAA team.

I hope signing a 6'5" guard doesn't take us out of the running here. That would be bad. Carey's last year would be Murray's freshman season. Don't see how that would be an issue.

He slides nicely into the scholarship vacated by McClung, as they're functionally in the same class. He will probably end up picking up a lot of those minutes too. I like the experience of a J. Harris, Blair, Carey guard rotation, with the winner of the D. Harris/Berger competition playing some spot minutes (or perhaps Clark logging a few minutes at shooting guard, if he emerges). It feels like a much better situation than what we were looking at yesterday. Even though we have a lot of freshmen, 5 of our top 6 guys will be in at least their 4th year of college, so it's a nice veteran core and we're really only relying on freshmen for 7th/8th man type duty. We need to find a way to mold all these disparate parts into a competitive team. Hoping everyone is in the right headspace and it comes together. Excellent analysis RB. Hopefully these guys play with passion, and fit together well.

Have seen him play a number of times. He can definitely contribute, and when he is hot he can fill it up

Yes, that is, indeed, the exact point where you made that assumption. Discussing who is currently on our team is a matter of fact. Now gtf off my back, stop derailing this thread, and go enjoy your Saturday (Yes, I am assuming you have a life) How dare you assume that ANY of us have a life!😠😉

If Ryan Mutombo chooses to go elsewhere it says less about Ryan Mutombo and more about the status of our program. Does anybody have a doubt that if we made the NCAA tournament and were a contender that he'd likely be a cinch to come to Georgetown? The problem is our program has fallen to the point where's it just isn't that appealing. Also, former players always talk about the family element of Georgetown, etc. And, that's all well and good, but if you cannot use that family atmosphere to actually, you know...retain family members...then it makes one question what we are doing in the first place. As I said, the problem isn't Ryan, and if he chooses to go elsewhere, I will not harbor any ill will toward him at all. But, it will make me more displeased with the current state of the program. If this coach cannot get a Hoya great's son to want to commit to Georgetown or put out a program that appeals to someone like Ryan, I question whether he should be coaching at all. Many young men and women strive to walk their own path and not the same path as their parents or other family members. Yes, our program has been diminished the last 5 or 6 years, no one disputes that. But if Ryan goes elsewhere, it is just as likely that it is because he feels going to Georgetown would place too much of the focus on him being Dikembe's son rather than on being Ryan Mutombo.

The fact that Ryan has not committed to Georgetown absolutely does not mean he has no interest in being a Hoya. He is carefully and fully evaluating his options. That 100% makes perfect sense. Committing to Georgetown early just because his father went there would make no sense for an intelligent young man with his options. I stand by my statement for better or worse. Time will tell! So is it that none of the '21's we are recruiting want to be Hoyas, since none of them have committed? Or that Ryan is supposed to automatically pick GU because his Dad went there?

I know Frazier complains all the time about people rooting against Georgetown succeeding but now we have a reason to 😁👏👏👏

What will be will be. The coach has to keep moving and WIN along the way. If Ryan Mutombo wanted to be a HOYA he would have said so by now. Keep moving and develop the talent that is here!

It took me way too long to realize he was only referring to himself and Jahvon Blair. I literally pulled up our roster to try to figure out who the other 2 players he was referencing were. I need some more coffee. In all seriousness, though, I am excited to see/hear that those 2 really want to go out strong. I'll make a bet that both end up on All-Big East teams this year. If Jamorko can put all his talent together to reach that mythical potential we all talk about, he could be First Team. He's definitely the leader this year. Blair is also going to get all the shots he wants and put up some points like he did when Mac was out last year, which I think could get him Hon. Mention. I strangely feel pretty solid about those two and Qudus being our top 3 guys. I was wondering what we were doing with Gilbert Arenas around the team. Well we do need to work on our shooting. Too soon?

Might want to tell that to Frazier Fanatic. Geez all I said was that we had a decent shot! So surprised, not sure a "big surprise".

Not liking our chances against that list... A solid list, but no real blue bloods so we still have a decent shot.

If we have any basketball season, have to think it is conference-only starting in January.

Interesting thought, but how would fans actually align? Many fans are still against the concept of ANY compensation beyond a full scholarship. Now that players are allowed to get some indeterminate amount for their "image" etc., many more fans will think that plus a scholarship is sufficient. Some fans want unlimited unregulated ability to get money from any source. Are fans going to refuse to go to games? Refuse to buy team/player merchandise? Refuse to watch on TV, support sponsors, etc.?

I only have a problem when they break the rules. I have come around to the "likeness" concept. I don't want college sports to turn into a straightforward bidding war, but however it turns out - just follow the rules. The problem is that the rules are arbitrary and meant to funnel all the money away from the labor and into the pockets of a few who create very little of the value. The rules are absurd and unjust. It may be a problem, but they are still the rules. If you want to break them, don't whine if you get caught and punished.
