Hard to get too worked up about losing a guy who wouldn't be coming in until 2012 anyways. Probably will end up with Cox at RU.

In no surprise to anyone, Jordan Goodman has decommitted from Georgetown. What a joke. Seems like all the terrible stuff we heard about this recruitment was true. What a sorry state of affairs for college hoops. Needs disinfectant everywhere. |

Not too worried about this. Assuming we use 4 scholarships on the class of '11, and making the bigger assumption that nobody leaves the program early in the next 2 years, if we signed Goodman, we'd only have one other 2012 scholarship available, since the graduating class the year before that is down to Jason and Henry. I'm thinking we can get 2 guys better than Goodman out of the 2012 recruiting class.

Good Luck to Jordan. I hope that he finds what he's looking for in a college.

What a sorry state of affairs for college hoops. Needs disinfectant everywhere. Ehhhh. Not sure why such a strong reaction. Really the whole reason we hired Cox was to try to get kids like Goodman (aside from the grade issues). When you lose the coach, you lose those kids. Not really a big deal and if he was coming just because his AAU pimp told him to and not because he really liked III/the school/the program, then don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. But if we object to kids like that, Dave Cox wasn't the guy to hire. |

marchmadness.collegehoopsnet.com/2010/05/goodman-decommits-from-georgetown.html“That was Jordan’s guy, you know, Jordan was his recruit,” Shingler said. “He just liked coach Cox, wanted to play for Coach Cox. He made a commitment to Dave Cox.” A source close to the situation was more emphatic about the next move for Goodman. “The kid is close to Dave Cox,” the source said. “[Goodman is] going to Rutgers.”

Does this affect things for Moses?

Well the signing period is over so I'm assume he signed his LOI so I would hope it does not besides from the accounts it was meetings between the thompsons and Moses's people that sealed the deal. He seemed to have a lot of respect for John the Elder so I don't think it will.

Then why did we offer him a scholarship?

Then why did we offer him a scholarship? Before he de-committed, people were saying he might be top 25 in his class. Now he stinks. |

Been away from the board a bit - can you elaborate on the "terrible stuff"? Considering the guys that are possibilities for us in 2011, this might not be a big loss at all. Unless we whiff all around. Anyway, seems like he was a package deal with our outgoing ass. coach. So he really never commited to Gtown anyway. |

As far as basketball recruiting it's actually quite tame. It's obvious now as you said he was a package deal and that goodman was willing to go wherever Cox was. He had no real attachment to Georgetown. Kids get used by AAU programs and the coaches. It happens, terrible is probably an overstatement. I'd rather kids come here because they want to play for Georgetown, not because some AAU coach said he should.

I think Jordan has the potential to be a great player. Right now he seems like a good player, from most ratings. I'd have loved to have him as a Hoya had he wanted to be a Hoya.
The grades question has always been a question with him and may continue to be true, Hoya or no. And while I'm always a skeptic as to the power of AAU connections, there's no doubt now that Cox was close to the only reason for his commitment. Personally, I think that's a short-sighted reason to pick a school (especially considering there are usually four other coaches of some kind on staff and a variety of other things to think about), but that's his prerogative.
I hope he ends up somewhere and is happy. I'm not overly distraught, because he was in 2012, and who knows how this works out?

His backward step to 2012 for entering college is a red flag for academic shortcomings, but based on the film I have seen on him, Gtown will be sorry that he is headed elsewhere. The kid has the tools to be a real stud on the court. There are other fish in the sea, but Jordan is one you wouldn't catch and release.

The kid has potential, but it's up to him to reach it. Consistent effort on the court and off is neccesary for him maximize. We'll see.

Love Goodman's talent, wish him the best, but the off the court clown show isn't worth dealing with--and nowhere does a circus fit best--then Piscataway, NJ!

Watch him play a game not hi-lights. I know the kid very well and it is a blessing in disguise for Gtown. People think he's Durant Jr. but his off court issues separate the two.I never was a fan. Thought he could be a stud but work ethic may limit potential.
