I like that he and Frankie seemed to connect on their recruiting visit. A 4* PG and PF combo will be great with the current guards/wings we've recruited....

Ryan had indicated he wanted the full recruiting experience and with all of these recent offers he has certainly gotten the experience. I am hopeful the staff is staying on contact with him and showing him the love. I have no personal insights on his situation, but it sounded like he did not want the staff to take for granted that he would come to Georgetown just because his Dad had a great career there. From all the other offers I think we can assume his game has really developed and he is a a legit 4 star player. Hopefully Coach Ewing can close this deal.

The 6-foot-10 center in the 2021 class, who happens to be the son of former NBA star Dikembe Mutombo, has added several offers since the shutdown due to COVID-19. Florida, Florida State, Stanford, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest joined a list that already included Georgetown, Georgia Tech and Texas A&M.
Florida State: “It’s actually funny because two days before they offered me I was on the phone with my cousin [Mfiondu Kabengele] and he asked me if he should tell the Florida State coaches to offer me because they really like me but were worried I’m just going to end up at Georgetown. I told him to tell them to pull the trigger and we’ll see where it goes. I know Coach Leonard Hamilton really well. My cousin has said great things about the effort and time they put into him as a big man.”
Georgetown: “I loved it. The guys there were super cool. Coach [Patrick] Ewing kept it really honest with me. They made it bigger than just a legacy thing. They explained the vision they have for me in their program. That was really meaningful to me.”
Georgia Tech: “I love the atmosphere and I love that it is super close to my house. It’s a program in the ACC and they have major exposure opportunities for me as well and not to mention a world-class education. It’s basically an Ivy League education. Georgia Tech definitely has a ton of upside in my recruitment.”
Stanford: “It’s an interesting because almost no school in the country has that balance between academics and athletics. It’s definitely an unprecedented opportunity for me to get a world-class education and also become a great player.”
Vanderbilt: “I know that Darius Garland and Simi tu went there and obviously Simi got a lot of time as a freshman in the starting lineup and the opportunity to make an impact. Vanderbilt is obviously the best academic school in the SEC, so definitely a great opportunity.”

Not really....it would be "OUCH" if he said that about Vandy or GT. At least UF has some recent tradition....

Interesting in his summary of the schools Stan, GA Tech, and Vandy get mentions as high high powered academic places, but no similar mention for Gtwn.. Maybe its just assumed and the legacy thing is the obvious elephant in the room -but thought it was interesting nonetheless.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Ryan projected as a 4, not a 5, especially in terms of professional aspirations? I recall some talk on here of his game being more like that of a power forward than a center.
If so I don't think there are too many places that will allow him to play a 4 at 6'10" or whatever he will be by the time he gets on campus. In 2021, Georgetown should be one of them, since we'll still have at least two true 5s on the roster (Ighoefe, Wilson) and its likely that Wahab will still be around also. Ryan should be able to move right in at Georgetown and compete at the 4 spot instead of being pushed to play an out-of-position 5. That has to factor in well in Georgetown's favor.

Ryan Mutombo is a four-star that could have really seen his stock continue to rise with a strong travel season. He’s started adding more offers lately from Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Stanford, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Virginia Tech, but it could have reached an even higher level if he could play in front of coaches. North Carolina has been in touch with his travel coach. Georgetown, Georgia Tech and Texas A&M were his earliest offers. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/rivals-roundtable-greg-brown-emerging-prospects-teams-under-pressure
