This kid was a hustler. Never gave less than 110% for us in the few minutes he played. Hope he thrives wherever he goes next.

All the best to him. Sorry that he didn't see more PT in a season that was lost anyway.

One hell of a debut and then that was about all we got to see. Will be interesting to see where he ends up and if he's the last one. Clark does fit the mold of a normal transfer. He didn't play much on a historically poor Georgetown team. Seems like anyone fitting that bill would leave, especially having 3 years left to play given the covid waiver.

All of the best to Kobe in the future. As many have said, Kobe always gave a jolt of energy when he played, and I always wanted to see more of his physical style.

I’m a big Kobe fan; sorry to see him go. He was exactly what I expected during that first game when he had 10 rebounds. Crazy that that was his high point in his GU career. Not sure if it was injury or other things that held him back (we we know it was at least partly due to injury) but I am definitely rooting for him to find the right spot for him to excel. Thanks Kobe!

A good team needs players like Kobe.

Best of luck to Kobe- seemed like a great teammate, person, and Hoya. I’d hoped for more development (I think that’s on the staff - not him).I hope he wasn’t shown the door and that he chose to leave . Hoping he finds greener pastures and has incredible success.

A good team needs players like Kobe. I liked what I saw of Kobe's game when he was able to play, but injuries really took their toll on him and he never got a chance to show what he could become as a player. It is hard for a player to get into any type of rhythm when he misses so much game time and I would assume practice time, especially on the offensive end where confidence comes from getting a lot of reps. The rest of the team continues to work on things and play together and injured players get left behind at some point. It always sounded like Ewing liked him as a player and person, but just could not find a way to integrate him into the rotation with all the time he missed. I wish the young man well.

I have thought the same about Kobe as bostonfan. He was on and off injured all last year and the start of this year, right? Is it PE's fault that he didn't get more time given the big picture? Who would you have him take playing time from?
Once he was healthy, he was fun to watch and I loved his energy. No let up in him -- great quality. And kettlehill is right -- a good team needs players like Kobe. He didn't seem to be in Ewing's doghouse, at least not the way Tyler and JBills seemed to be. He didn't get the regular PT to get all the rust off his game -- I'm just not sure who you would have taken out for him to play more.
I think his instincts are correct -- he will get to play more somewhere else. If I'm Kobe and looking at last season and the writing on the wall (LSU transfers possible, friends and teammates leaving), I'm probably going, too. No hard feelings, but hoping for greener pastures elsewhere.
Like the rest of Hoya Nation, I wish him luck and will look to see how he's doing wherever he lands.

Not to be judgmental, but any school that combines a direction with the name of a state and then the word state is not an ideal destination.
