Mintz has looked to play outside of the DMV, other than Mason which has his ear for a bit it seems.
No idea where he is thinking, but all his basketball brothers from his teams all play out of the area and speak strongly about getting out of the DMV for a change.

RANKING THE CONFERENCE 1. Villanova: Five-star forward Cam Whitmore and four-star guards Mark Armstrong and Brendan Hausen make up a top-15 recruiting class. 2. Xavier: Kam Craft and Tyrell Ward form an impressive duo that can impact tournament success down the road for Travis Steele. 3. Connecticut: Dan Hurley focused strictly on skill with this class. Donovan Clingan and Alex Karaban both should present themselves as offensive threats for the Huskies. 4. Providence: The Friars secured a great grab in Jayden Pierre, who made one of the biggest jumps in the last update of the 247Sports Top 150 Rankings. Factor in North Carolina prospects Christ Essandoko and Quante Berry and Providence has a three-man class worth monitoring. 5. Seton Hall: The Pirates utilized the name “Jaquan” to fill needs at the guard position, but it is their addition of Percy Daniels that makes this class really pop. Daniels should provide value as a reliable inside-scoring option by the time he enters his junior season. 6. Creighton: As always, the Bluejays program has prioritized skill and feel in their recruiting class adding a big lead guard in Ben Shtoltzberg and a modern stretch-four man in Jasen Green. 7. St. John's: The Red Storm have landed one of the better shooters in the class in AJ Storr and one of the more under-the-radar stock risers in Florida native Kolby King. 8. Marquette: Three-star guards Sean Jones and Chase Ross give Shaka Smart arguably the most underrated recruiting class in the conference. 9. Georgetown: Hoyas fans have something to be excited about with the addition of scoring combo guard Denver Anglin. The four-star guard brings across Carsen Edwards vibes. 10. Butler: The Bulldog’s men’s basketball staff are confident in Connor Turnbull’s upside as an elite rim protector in the league. 11. DePaul: Tony Stubblefield is going the junior college route to find immediate success at DePaul with his addition of KT Raimey. 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/LongFormArticle/Early-Signing-Period-Villanova-Creighton-Xavier-UCONN-St-Johns-DePaul-Butler-Marquette-Georgetown-Seton-Hall-Basketball-Recruiting-175050397/#175050397_5

So you don't have any commentary on that?

Can't really blame the recruits, though, since it's unlikely Ewing's going to be around much longer, so they don't really know who they'd be playing for if they commit to Georgetown.

Agree about Anglin not sure if we have ever had such a pure shooter that also has other facets of his game that make him a top 75ish recruit. I am excited about Bass as well and think he will be a Top 150 when all is said and done. People are going to get all over HoyaBoya about his comment on Ewing but there is some truth there. I'm not sure his days are numbered but if this team really struggles in OOC play it won't just be this board and local news talking about it...it will be national conversation at that point and that won't help recruiting at all. I am not hitting the panic button yet but game 1 was not a good start.

It’s that he’s said it hundreds of times, in every thread, regardless of the topic. If he never posted again we would all know his view.

Riding high on the young guy potential after tonight’s game but imagining next years team with Beard, Anglin, Riley, Aminu (we can hope…)/Billingsley, and Mutumobo with Bass coming in with energy and vertical spacing - or switch Dante and Beard and one or the other is coming in with Bass to feed some dunks and also ball out

We shot well overall tonight but next year Rice's scholarship will be filled by one of the best shooters on his class. We need to keep growing this year though, this team has a ton of potential and the keys to next year are here this year. Who knows, maybe they mature as a team quicker then we expect.

I have Denver in there as Anglin! Oh I’m hoping for some quick maturing too just excited about how the new guys could fit with what we just saw… also think Kobe and Holloway are good pieces in the limited glimpses we’ve seen.

No idea where he is thinking, but all his basketball brothers from his teams all play out of the area and speak strongly about getting out of the DMV for a change. The more pressing angle of the story is what will become of Mintz, the No. 68-ranked prospect in America. According to a tweet from Mintz’s AAU coach, Dwayne Wise, Tennessee, Texas, Florida, DePaul, Maryland, Marquette, Xavier, Northwestern and Arizona State reached out to Mintz in the wake of his decommitment. Kansas has also been in contact in recent days. In talking to coaches now involved in Mintz recruitment this week it seems as though both Florida and KU are incredibly intrigued, to say the least. Each would like to get the Mouth of Wilson (Va.) Academy guard on campus for a visit and go from there. There won’t be a snap decision here, however, as some schools are still deciding how hard to push for his commitment. But the Jayhawks and Gators are certainly programs to monitor closely going forward. Tennessee will also be a player. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/florida-man-judah-mintz-asa-newell-anthony-black

I know everybody got a good chuckle out of this, but honestly... who are these DMV kids we're talking about here? I don't see many options that are way above SRD-level.
There might be an additional late bloomer/under-recruited kid or two b/c of the missing year (for many) in '20-'21, but isn't every coach making up ground there?
Is there anybody I'm -- or more importantly *the staff* is -- overlooking?

Not many that I know of. Think they would be better served to wait on transfers, decommits, or re-class kids. Most of the impact 2022's are already off the board. If he's talking about the TTO kids that are still on the board, man idk...

As if Ewing and his staff have not gone into gyms, even during days which Hoya games are played. As if they had not offer DC area guys early in the recruiting process, sometimes when they were argue the start of their junior seasons.

Is there anybody I'm -- or more importantly *the staff* is -- overlooking? This is a legitimate set of questions, it's unclear what players are still out there in the class of 2022 that are Georgetown-level quality and not being actively recruited by the coaching staff. However, it's clear from Twitter posts as well as all the high quality players constantly leaving the area, that the current GU coaching staff does not have very good relationships with the DMV high school hoops community. Look at this follow-up tweet from GU basketball alums, Chris Wright and Austin Freeman: There's no way anybody can argue that this is a good look for Ewing & Co.

I think that the problem is a lack of focus not poor relationships. That’s taking a huge leap. Washington himself said the reason he tweeted that was because he cares about the program.
You can always work to improve or hire people with better connections but I’ve never heard the staff has bad relationships locally. Bottom line is kids want to go where they feel wanted/needed and Georgetown hasn’t done a good job showing them that’s here or have chosen to prioritize other players like Anglin > Rice.

I would suggest our challenge is personnel. We desperately need a young energetic connected guy with DMV recruiting chops. We have people on staff who don’t get it done. Our staff wants the best players regardless of geography. Implicit with this statement is the fact that they don’t see the need for local success; now I’m confident that if there are two equally capable kids they do prefer local. Get better DMV recruiting staff and we’ll get a few of these kids. Win more and we’ll get more of these kids. One area which may also be a blind spot for us is the relationships that local kids have with one another.
