What do people think about an "anonymity thread"? You can state your relationship to Georgetown ... (eg alumnus, current student, long-standing fan, recent fan). I am curious to know posters relationships to GU basketball.

Greg should test the waters. What he hears from teams will affect the decision. What if the Hornets are in position to take him? Hometown team temporarily down because of Chris Paul injury, Greg would not have to be the man but would have a significant role on a good team. OTOH, what if it looked like he could go to the Sixers? Eddie runs the offense and might take Greg but the team is bad and the Philly fans are brutal.

Anyone who thinks Greg is not going to test the waters or that III is not going to make sure he considers the options is a little naive. He has a lot to work on but so do most of the other lottery picks.

How JT III handles this situation is very important to future recruiting efforts of NBA-elite type players. I am happy to hear JTIII cautioning Monroe not to make rash statements about returning to the Hoyas. It would be great if he returns, but equally important is that the coach be perceived as doing what is best for the player and his family.

Good news for us is that he didnt help himself in the NCAA tournament. Now thats not to say all the GM'S know hes a great player. He is just didnt not jump up to number 3 with shis ncaa performance solely cause we got knocked out so early.
I think the center on st mary's I think it is, has gotton the most out of this tourney.
So is greg now a 6-10 pick? Does he bolt? I know it sounds crazy but hes back next year..

According to the New Jersey Nets and Philadelphia 76ers staff he could be the number 1 overall pick next year

I hope he returns. At least we will have a high ranking at the begining of the season.

I have no doubt that JT3 has the best interests of his players as his focus and, as Hoya fans, so should we. If Greg feels that jumping is the right thing to do, I fully support that and wish him the very best.
In response to AltoSaxa, I'm an alum. I think the majority of us are alumni or current students, no? There are certainly a few posters I'd be curious about though.

Maybe the girl he is dating on the women team can convince him to stay

This analysis was dated March 18th. Not sure if it was written before or after the Ohio game. Don't agree with everything the author says about Greg but I'm impressed by the detail in his analysis: www.draftexpress.com/profile/Greg-Monroe-1109/

If in the end it is seen as the best for him to go, I'm fine with that........however, based on everything I've seen (nothing more than everyone else), I think he stays.

Whether Greg stays or goes, somebody needs to work with Henry. Some assistant's job needs to be conditional on Henry being ready for quality big man minutes by November.

Henry was highly recruited, the talent is there, just needs more time to learn the system. Hopefully, next year things come together for him. Sounds like he's a great kid and always positive.

I'm not sure our current assistants are the men for that job. Upgrading the coaching staff is a must this summer. Kevin Broadus and Norm Roberts are looking for jobs.

You dare mention Broadus around here? The denizens of truth will be here shortly to deal with you. Gtown is above coaches and players who make mistakes. Gtown would never think about cheating or even cheat.

The names of our assistants have never been mentioned on any telecast.

Yes but what about the alums.....they would be too embarrassed to have a cheater on staff. They might even boycott the team and send letters to the president of the school.

My point about our assistants is that these current guys will never be head coaches. For example, who is our big man coach, who works with the guards, who implements the scouting reports, who is the ace recruiter, what the hell do these guys bring to the table. Do we have a strength coach? Hollis was on campus last year and he is built like a high school sophomore.
