Gardner and Alexander basically had no plan. Just followed the cool kids out of there without really thinking what was best for themselves. So you would stay at a school with the professors against you and how do we know James was the problem seems like Mac is the one with the ego You’re right in why stay when it reached that point. As to the egos, it was Mac, James and Josh. Maybe Grayson was the smartest one.

Really? What the heck? You leave a nationally ranked educational institution playing basketball in a nationally ranked league to go to a junior college in Levellland, Texas? Kids... Gardner and Alexander basically had no plan. Just followed the cool kids out of there without really thinking what was best for themselves. Wait there are people that still think Myron and Galen transferred? This is a Georgetown message board we have to be smarter than that.

One thing will certainly be answered with Mac playing under Beard. Whether Mac is the reason that he was an inefficient bad defender here or if it was the coaching.

We will also see if James can blend with talent or not. Coach 2 in each of these might have a better shot since this really is the last chance for each kid. My guess is they go the way of Kyle Wiltjer and aren't really heard from again and have no shot at an NBA career. Not sorry apples I just think these kids don't realize how limited the chances are in the league and how good & lucky you have to be to make it & STICK!!!

The subject of that letter was Patrick Ewing and Lee Reed, not Galen Alexander or Myron Gardner. Both Ewing and Reed are still here.

I love how the general take used to be hoyainla saying this was out of his mind, crazy, and a Mac hater, but now since Mac left people on here agree with him.

At the end of the day, is there any clear reason as to WHY Mac transferred? Was it just general unhappiness with the success and direction of the program? Or just that this is how college hoops is now?
It seems in the end that he parlayed his 2 years here into a spot at a better and higher profile program. Is that what we are now? A stepping stone? It’s depressing all around.

Don't be so sure of who knows what on this board. I warned you about this before but you have no idea who you are talking to on here.

Players improve and Mac was still improving and showing signs of growth in the back half of his season... Mac shot 34% and 22% from 3 in conference play this year. These numbers are both worse than his previous year's conference stats. Where was that showing signs of growth in the back half, conference, part of his season?

I love how the general take used to be hoyainla saying this was out of his mind, crazy, and a Mac hater, but now since Mac left people on here agree with him. The general consensus around Mac sure changed once he said he was leaving didn't it? I just say what I believe based on what I know and what I see. I am not always right but I don't allow my fandom to change how I see something. To this day I am still baffled at why so many people hated me giving my honest opinion. It is a message board after all. I wasn't attacking anyone. There are some that appreciate it as the more points of view can allow a better understanding and can point out something you may have missed. There are posters here that I don't always agree with but I respect their opinion as they show they have an understanding of what is going on. There are others that just want a team message board to be all unbridled positivity regardless of what is happening.

The faculty members also allude to a double standard between disciplinary protocol regarding the school's student athletes and others on campus. I didn’t know Ewing was still a student athlete

I think that letter alone gets Mac a waiver. The academic faculty questioning how the men's basketball program handles a potential sexual issue..would land straight center on a reason for an approved waiver. Simply saying that there is no longer confidence in how the program handles this and other situations. I'm sure this letter speaks for itself when submitted to the NCAA.

I think that's a stretch. The guidelines pretty clearly say that the athlete has to be the victim.
I think it's going to the be the Katz interview. It's documented, it's easy to explain in a timeline, there's no way to defend Ewing's behavior, and he pointed out the damage it caused in his statement.
