Patience! We are improving. My only question right now is how hungry is our coach? Do we want good or do we want great? This reads like a summer 2023 post. It may be in tone and optimism! Sorry, I can’t help myself! |

"We are now DePaul . . . or worse!" Sorry but I can't let this stand! DePaul we are not! That we are in the same sentence as DePaul without at least 5 other teams named between us is an ongoing bad sign. |

DePaul won only 3!!! Huzzah!! I can't wait for the new vibe we're gonna generate in the 121 cheering section!! |

We've dropped into the "prove it before we believe it" prognostication bucket. Can't say I disagree.

A lot of words when really his son just got too good to go to a struggling program. If this kid ever needs a second chance school, you gotta like Georgetown. Very simple - GU cannot compete with the bluebloods for basketball recruits. |

Georgetown went after one of the top point guards in the transfer portal and signed him. Lewis was not interested in the playing time available to him when Georgetown’s best player is a sophomore point guard. Lots of other choices for him with more chances for significant floor time.
Georgetown was top 25 in both the high school recruiting class, not counting McKenna, and the transfer class. Most of those recruits had offers from blue blood schools. We competed with them very well.

We competed with them very well. So you think playing time was his most important consideration re: GU and that he didn’t want to compete with Epps and Mack? Nothing about the losing program that we have and the 4 BE wins in two years? How about the guard situation in his listed schools which all have good guards and a better situation than GU? If you believe his dad, the Lewis family likes GU and the staff, and are DMV hoop fans hoping that in the future Maryland and GU return to the top. In the meantime, their family member will go to a winning program. This is a kid the staff needs to keep monitoring and try to bring back for his upperclassman years if he merits it and wants to play close to home. |

We competed with them very well. Wherever Lewis goes, he'll have to compete for playing time. These high level athletes don't get to where they are by being afraid of other players. He simply didn't want to go to one of the worst high major conference teams in the country. |

I personally spoke to his Dad….and I know that wherever he goes he wants to start from day 1. That was in question with Malik Mack. Not saying he would have ended up at Georgetown, but it was certainly a factor.

Hurley didn't even start Clingan his freshman season. Lewis may want to scratch off the Huskies from his list as that program is focused on team success regardless of incoming potential. |

They will be in need of a starting PG since Diarra is out of eligibility and it isn't like Hurley doesn't start Freshman if they are the best option. Donovan just happened to get stuck behind another stud. |

I hope that sometime very shortly Cooley will answer every PC question with "I've said all I'm gonna say about my time at PC" He has to move on so the media can as well. PC fans(especially on social media) never will but that is what it is. I like his comments on Mack, I look forward to seeing him play |

Donovan just happened to get stuck behind another stud. I have no doubt the young man would like to start as a freshman, most highly recruited players want that. I do think that he is unlikely to get a promise from any of the other programs on his list that he will be the starter from day one, unless they are just telling him what he wants to hear to get a commitment. All these high level players want to play right away, and I don't blame them, but if you are going to a big time program I think the r=best you can hope for is the chance to compete for the starts spot. |

Not saying he would have ended up at Georgetown, but it was certainly a factor. Meh… Lewis will be an August 2025 frosh. How does he (and his dad) know what our roster, and possible playing time, will look like next year? If he wants to start from Day 1, then Acaden needs to wait to see how all of his favorite schools’ rosters shake out after March and April 2025. Regarding GU’s guards in Acaden’s position: - Peavy will not have eligibility. - if we have another losing season, does Epps stay for his last season and never smell the NCAAT? - if we have another losing season, and Mack has stated that he (1.) wants to win the BE regular season, (2.) wants a BET championship, and (3.) wants to go to the NCAAT, does Mack stay or look for greener pa$ture$ with a better chance to win championships and smell the post-season? - if Mulready doesn’t get pt, does he stay? Recent history at GU says no. That’s it. It’s a perfect playing time opportunity for Lewis. He would get as much playing time here as he could handle. No, just like we’ve read about other top targets that Cooley failed to reel in, it’s about going to a winning program, consistently reaching the NCAAT and showcasing your talent at the only truly important level… and NIL for most… |
