Aminu is the first five-star player Coach Ewing has actually had a real shot at landing. Maybe Cole Anthony but I never felt as optimistic about him as I do for Mohammed. I hope the staff lands Ryan so we can focus all our attention on finishing the class off with Aminu. If that were to happen Georgetown would very much be back folks.

We have one scholarship left for 2021! Unfortunately in the reality of today's college basketball world we could still have several openings next year, either through transfers or early departures. Ewing and his staff have to understand that possibility is more likely than not given that he has yet to have a year when there was not a transfer or departure from the team. You get the best players you can and then see how everything shakes out. Hate to see any kid recruited over but it happens all the time. It's the ugly side of the recruiting process.

We have one scholarship left for 2021! You don't know that the Hoyas only have 1 scholarship left for 2021. People can assume it, but they don't know for sure. And no one knows what the roster will look like in 12 months in terms of scholarship players. It's pointless to speculate on the number of scholarships available from the perspective of determining the number of commitments the program will accept.

Someone could possible transfer, this is also true, but as of this date one opening remains unless your a walk-on.

Someone could possible transfer, this is also true, but as of this date one opening remains unless your a walk-on. Neither of the sources you quoted are official records from the university, which is why I said that people can assume how many scholarship players are on the roster but they don't know for sure. Verbal commits is great, but they crowd source their information. I'm pretty sure they didn't have Bradley Hayes on the Georgetown roster in 16-17. And HoyaTalk and HoyaBinx just make educated guesses at scholarship tables. Using that same 16-17 example, HoyaTalk shows Hayes as a walk on that season, while HoyaBinx has Hayes as a scholarship player even though that would have put the Hoyas at 14 scholarship players had Paul White not transferred. Since Georgetown stopped announcing letters of intent signings after Ighoefe/Wilson in Fall 2018, we don't know for sure which new players this season are on scholarship unless they specifically said that they came on an official visit or that they signed a letter of intent. (for those of you that jump at statements like this, I'm not speculating who is/is not on scholarship, I'm simply saying that we publicly do not know that for sure). And while you mentioned that a player might transfer out, the staff might already know that a player might be planning to leave after the 20-21 season to pursue a professional career. For example, Don Carey has two years of eligibility, but he has already graduated so maybe he only plans to stay at Georgetown for a year? I'm assuming he plans on staying for two years, but that's just an assumption. So in conclusion, no one here knows for certain how many scholarships are or will be available for the 21-22 season, so Aminu Mohammed and Ryan Mutombo should both commit to Georgetown this weekend to make us all happy.

I want them both to commit as well but in the process we will be losing a scholarship player. If they commit this weekend, someone will have to transfer. So it isn't that someone is leaving before two more players join the team and get scholarships. It will be that a player will be leaving as a result of two more players getting scholarships. Unless a player pays for a year, so that we can get two more players scholarships, someone will be transferring.

None of us really knows as well as the staff does so I don’t think it’s worth our speculation at this point.

What is sometimes lost here, apparently, is that the coaches on staff also understand how to count to 13.

Like I said before, maybe Don Carey has already said that he only wants to play for one season. I assume he's here for two seasons but that's an assumption. Or there are two freshmen this year that did not come on an official visit and there were no reports of letters of intent, are either of them preferred walk ons? I assume they are both on scholarship, but that's an assumption. So to get to the 12 scholarships in 21-22 a bunch of assumptions need to be made, so why bother making a definitive statement that there is only one scholarship available? None of us know for sure until the official roster comes out, and even then a lot can happen over the next 12 months. So maybe we shouldn't make assumptions about the long term effects of recruiting. Otherwise we could be creating a false narrative that the 31 recruits in the class of 2021 that have Georgetown offers are fighting for 1 scholarship, and that would be a pretty negative position to put the coaching staff in if it's not true.

There are a lot of "ifs" which I believe you're operating on. What if Don does want to play two years for the Hoyas? What if we don't have an upcoming season? How does that affect scholarship players? What if the freshmen actually did sign their letter of intent and thus are scholarship players? Just because there is no report, doesn't mean they didn't sign. As of today based on the number of players on the team and those players being listed as scholarship players, we have 12. If two players were to commit today, one of the current players on the roster as of today will have to relinquish their scholarship or at least before the start of school, I'm assuming. Believe me I want both on this team but I hate to see someone leave because of it. If we get both, I'm hoping someone can walkon for a year and get a scholarship for the remaining three years.

Or a current player has already decided they will be a pro after this year. Too much in the air and only the staff really knows what's going on behind the scenes. All of us in Hoyatalkland are just scratching our crouch sitting in the dugout.
I'll take two please!
