With the amount of transfers exponentially increasing in recent years, I think it's time to remove the word 'commit/committing/committment' from the world of college basketball. Not sure what it should be replaced with but there's no such thing anymore. Loosely associated with, for now.

It is interesting that the staff was still involved with Tape, even after he had verbally committed to Duke and that he was considering Georgetown, and Syracuse. It is too bad they didn't land him, but I think it shows they are actively looking for a power forward to come in and help next year.

This is like me looking at which snack I want at 3 AM during this quarantine. I usually start with Rocky Road, then switch to a fruit bar because I feel guilty. Once I taste it tho, I eventually end up right back with the Rocky Road because why not go with the best So did Count Chocula have to cheat twice to land him? Did his Mom get two jobs like Mrs Duhon?

wanting to be a with this group of young men, would mean he would want to have what ever shortcomings he may have consistently pointed by his new fan base versus the good he could bring

I think it's interesting that Luther Muhammad has 2 religiously inspired names, from 2 different religions. Seriously, I've liked his game at Ohio State, would be ok with having him sit 1, play 2 for us. good defender.

I really think Brandon Johnson is a better fit at PF, his game seems to be at a faster pace, the pace that PE wants to run. We are out of Brandon Johnson's top 7

Not sure what it should be replaced with but there's no such thing anymore. Well no, that would be lowering the bar and would erode the gravity of what a commitment is. Let those who can’t follow through on commitments just be branded as fickle....no need to contribute to slowly erasing the notion of a commitment. We should shade those who are impatient and unable to commit, instead of making excuses for them or trying to rationalize the behavior. Just my two cents.

I hear our coaches can’t really recruit so if there is any BE program he’d consider we”d finish between 9th and 11th on that list...plus we haven’t had anyone with the last name Tape in the past, so why would a Tape want to come here??

The only rule of the transfer portal is to not be surprised by who enters the transfer portal. If you needed another example, look no further than Purdue center Matt Haarms unexpectedly entered the transfer portal on Monday afternoon. After averaging 8.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and two blocks per game during the 2019-20 season, the redshirt junior will be immediately eligible as a graduate transfer. A native of Amsterdam who played his high school basketball in the Wichita area, Haarms has not yet listed any schools but there is no doubt that he will be a coveted prospect. Though he is on the lean side, Haarms is a mobile and fiery competitor who can play facing the rim and run the floor. Though he isn't a banger by any means, Haarms does a very nice job of protecting the rim and he has been incredibly well coached during his years at Purdue. Simply put, guys with his size and level of experience aren't easy to find so there will no doubt be a slew of high level programs looking to get involved within the next day or two. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/purdue-center-matt-haarms-enters-the-transfer-portal

This program is simply zero fun to follow at the current moment.
Losing basketball, swinging and whiffing at recruiting target after recruiting target, mired with the same dysfunctional leadership that put the program in the doldrums in the first place.
It’s still hard to fathom just how far Georgetown basketball has fallen. Very sad.

We could land a kid from Yates now and be excited about his experience and ability to fill a void. Certainly, we could improve his shooting percentage. Skills should translate from intramurals to Big East. 😉

Looks like he would be a nice rotational player and fill an immediate need at the 4.

I think the bar has already been lowered but I hear what you're saying. You’re not wrong I’m just in denial mode still 😞 I graduated from undergrad a little over 10 years ago and from med school 4 years after that so I still consider myself a relatively newer hardcore Hoya fan. I'm devastated by the direction of the program since then so I can't even imagine what the OG fans must be feeling.
