Wash Times - Riley Retracts Commitment

[DanMcQ]

Barker Davis: Riley retracts commitment from Georgetown

"[Riley] just said after he returned from his official visit that he didn't feel like it was the right fit for him," Detroit Country Day coach Kurt Keener said. "I know his mother felt that he had committed a little too early in the process. They discussed the situation after he returned from his official visit, and he called the staff at Georgetown recently and informed them he would be reopening his recruitment.

"My feeling is that it is now doubtful that he will end up at Georgetown."

Georgetown doesn't comment on recruiting until after the spring signing period which begins April 15.

TOO BAD good luck to him but im sure coach and his guys got some plans go hoyas

[Kid Delicious]

can you say practice facility?
when you need to share your gym with the womens volleyball team can you blame him?

i love our campus but the athletic facilities are not top notch. if we hope to keep III for a while, this needs to change.

[ColumbiaHeightsHoya]

Unrelated kid. This has more to do with chemistry, style and anticipated minutes in my book then a practice facility.

[FHillsNYHoya]

Uh oh.....practice faciliies?


DING DING DING......

[hoyasexy]

I blame Escherick.

That's not it. This has a lot more to do with world-wide wes than it does with facilities.

If Riley involves himself with this guy, then good riddance. Simply trash.

Yeah, in one of the other threads, RBHoya described Worldwide Wes as one of those "really shady handler types." That's an understatement if I've ever heard it. I'm fine with the program not getting caught up in all that.

To be fair we have no evidence or even rumor that WWW was involved with this.

This relationship will be more than clear when Riley finally picks his school. If Riley's concerns were legitimately based on playing time/role, then it only makes sense that he will choose a school that can guarentee that he will be prominently displayed. Lets just say there are more than a few coaches willing to accomodate Riley of his wishes. I'm pretty sure Wes knows these coaches as well.

article up on rivals about the story. nothing too much new but it does say ohio state, xavier, and others will get involved.

do we know for sure if wes was involved?

Nothing to do with Wes--if it was--Memphis would be the destination.

[hoyarooter]

Totally off point, but it sounds like the challenges of ballots in the Minnesota recount are running a bit amok. I keep seeing old SNL skits with Al Franken running through my head. Somebody make it stop!

[Nevada Hoya]

Wes=mortgage broker. Just that should land him in jail.
