And then Canada couldn’t hit a 3… so they’re out.

Rather than give Omar Soft Seven any kind of play go back & look up a pair of Smiths. Eric Smith & Gene Smith. Those 2 players are GEORGETOWN BASKETBALL. At least in my world. Dante Harris has that HOYA in him.

Dante Harris has that HOYA in him. Those two guys are at the top of my all favorite Hoyas list! I loved them dudes for their defensive prowess. Eric might just be my second favorite behind Patrick and Gene might be a close third.

Dante Harris has that HOYA in him. Likely the second and third coolest, most-Hoya Smiths in program history, but Smitty is always at the top of that list.

My point, which I have made before, is Omer was a long lead up of discussion (the big transfer sign, will he play this year or next, his debut finally) then he played and I was not impressed. Add in some injury time. Not a great HOYA career.
So I would prefer to discuss real HOYAS that played 4 years and were BALLERS than some guy that played 3/4 of one season and IMO was SOFT.

But this is a thread DEVOTED to Yurtseven. You are essentially coming into this thread to hijack a discussion and divert attention towards players who were suiting up for Gtown when Yurtseven had yet to be born. Don't you see how silly that is, telling people in the Yurtseven thread to talk about anyone other than Yurtseven? And isn't that just plain rude? Why not just stay clear of the thread altogether if you have such distaste for the man?

Great news! There are other threads where you can actually do what you prefer! And let people who PREFER to talk about Y7 in the Y7 thread!

Paranoia it would be easier for all of us if you could make a list of acceptable Hoyas the rest of us would be allowed to discuss and then we can just do that...

I wish we would stop dissing our players and former players altogether. It's not a good look. You can criticize their play on a game by game basis but it's not a good look to criticize the guys overall. Yurt wasn't a physical player and I wasn't happy about him criticizing coach's high hedge but let's not call him soft because, to me that is an attack on the guy and he's one of our guys! So please fellas let's stop dissing our guys.

So please fellas let's stop dissing our guys. Generally speaking, I agree with this. That said, in the case of Yurt, he had an entire year in which he couldn't play but he could hit the weights. He chose not to. I don't think the "soft" characterization is without merit. Is it productive to rehash the past? Nah. But, having said that, he'd be far better off if he had used his sit year differently and that's still evident and relevant.

For those that have an unclear perception of Yurt’s physicality, feel free to rewatch the first 3-5 games of his Hoya career. Refs wouldn’t let him play physically and were hitting him with ticky tack fouls on both ends mostly because of his size and he had to adjust his game to stay on the court, period.
Being skilled enough to adjust your game to how the game is being reffed isn’t the same thing as being soft. He lacked lift and got blocked more often than he should’ve, but that has nothing to do with being soft. That’s a physical disadvantage.

He doesn’t lack strength, you’re looking for a play style that doesn’t suit his skill set.

He lost position to smaller guys on the regular and turned the ball over more than a fair amount. Play style that didn't suit his skill set? When you're in college is when you add to your skill set. His post game was average and he didn't shoot the three (insert the Patrick wouldn't let him ridiculousness here). Mobility? It's not as though he was taking guys off the dribble. His mobility was below average after the alleged improvement. As was his lift.

His post game was average and he didn't shoot the three (insert the Patrick wouldn't let him ridiculousness here). Ridiculousness? Let me insert this article here. Here's Omer in his own words explaining what was "demanded of" him: The exodus of players that left Georgetown during the 2019 season led to Yurtseven’s role becoming more one-dimensional than he originally anticipated when he first arrived on the Hilltop.
While Yurtseven was happy to do whatever the team needed from him, it did limit what he could show to NBA teams that were watching. And he’s been working ever since the Hoyas were bounced in the first round of the Big East Tournament to prove to NBA talent evaluators that there is more to his game than what he was able to showcase in 2019.
“The biggest thing I realized is that they needed me to be that inside presence. They needed me to collapse defenses so that the defense would sink inside and we would be able to kick it in to the shooters outside, because we didn’t have anyone other than me to be that inside presence and draw those double teams, and kick the ball out and put teams in rotation. That was demanded of me and I tried to fulfill that role to the best I could,” said Yurtseven.
“Whenever I would pop I would hear the coaches say, ‘Roll! Roll!’, and then two or three coaches getting up at the same time. I realized that’s what they wanted from me and that’s what I tried to do,” said Yurtseven. “Coming in it was my goal to shoot a lot of three’s as well because I saw Jessie Govan doing that, so it was a big area I saw myself fitting into as well. But I guess after losing three or four guys, our coaching staff wanted to find the best way possible, and that’s what they saw fit.”247sports.com/college/georgetown/Article/omer-yurtseven-readies-for-nba-draft-looks-back-on-georgetown-hoyas-career-153091736/

Yurt’s epic 26 game Hoya career was a TOUR DE FORCE only held back by his coaches & his altruistic desire to help the team in any way.
26 games.
