In light of the OJ Mayo issue, and the fact that USC may be getting sanctions, I have heard that Demar DeRozan may try to get out of his commitment.
Any chance that we would want him or even try to get him?

I wonder if you take him at this point would you still have to take Lil' Romeo? If we did, I wonder if he would perform on campus for free?

It doesnt hurt to inquire, but I dont think we were on his original list and we arent really looking for a 2/3. Though he seems like a 1 and done so it shouldnt affect Hollis or Lance. We could really use another contributor - at any position - for next year.

Funny... I was thinking he may want to bolt. That said, I'm not sure he's the type of kid that would fit in with our team... both in terms of personalilty and the system. From what I understand there may be issues surrounding his work ethic. Further, he seems to prefer a faster tempo than our more methodical offense. Would we want him? Yes. He's a very gifted ball player and you'd have to take a risk and hope that we could mold him into a Hoya.

I'll take a guy of his talent for a year. What's the worst that could happen? He leaves?

The worst that could happen is that Lil' Romeo comes to Georgetown. Really, that is the worst thing that could happen. And it's bad.

My first post wasn't because I'm interested in him coming, just out of sheer curiosity. I'd take the kid (DeRozan), as long as we don't have to drag along Master P's kid on a scholarship that he could easily pay for in pocket change. Plus, his music is crap.

Oh no, I wasn't accusing you of endorsing a Lil' Romeo admission. I just think that would look so outrageously terrible that it would be infinitely bad.

I wouldn't want DeRozan if he wanted to walk on--he's about one thing--himself. The way he plays in an All Star game doesn't differ from how he plays in a structured game. He's a great leaper--but he struggles to dribble, he's a streaky shooter who needs a high volume of shots to score, and he's about getting to the NBA--not winning in college.

First of all... it ain't going to happen. Derozan isn't becoming a Hoya any time soon. Secondly, the risk as absolutely worth the reward. Should for some odd circumstance the opportunity arise to add Demar to our roster... we'd be nothing but foolish to turn him down. Next topic.

No--but I know some that do and they would not only know-they've played with him, talked to him, and what you see with Demar is what you get-but I guess you know him more then guys who are his age, know him, and have played with him?
