Good game to watch, 28 points (he's 31 in blue). Awful film quality but this should give you a glimpse of what he can be - confident shooter, sharp passer, moves well off-ball, and gets to the line often. Can't make much of him on defense since Howard went zone most of that year, but he doesn't seem to be a complete turnstile. Definitely someone that could contribute at this level as an upperclassmen.

Welcome aboard!! I see this more as a savvy move for next year's roster but I think anything we get for this season would be a bonus

Excited to have the young man in the program. He looks like a skilled and athletic player who should flourish in an up tempo type of system. It will be interesting to see how quickly they can integrate him into the roster and what he can provide this season

It will be interesting to see how quickly they can integrate him into the roster and what he can provide this season 40% from 3pt land. 50 made out of 125. Should help replace Carey/Rice 3pt production for next year. And gives us 2 3pt assassins on the floor at all times this year. We can even have 3 3pt assassins (Carey/Rice/Bristol) out on the floor at the same time with Dante/Aminu or Dante-Big Tim or Aminu-Big Tim

This is seemingly another good Ewing transfer. Hope the kid plays defense too.

Not sure if you've seen this mix video from high school. Shows definite signs of good defensive play - shot blocking inside, steals, strong finishes at other end. He's long, anticipates well, and, as people have noted, shoots really well -- from 3, yes, but maybe even more encouraging, getting off quick shots coming off a pick. Yes, moves well without the ball. Lots to like indeed!
Welcome, Wayne. Looking forward to seeing you in a Hoya uniform and helping the team.

Fun! Pick your poison. Who will be left open?

Overall, I like the pickup for next year and agree with those that say anything that we get this season is gravy. Mo, Carey and Rice will all be gone next year, so adding a second sniper to Anglin is a wise move. I also like getting incoming transfers in the current college hoops landscape, as they're forced to have loyalty to the program - it becomes very difficult and debilitating to one's career to transfer a second time.
That said, I really hope this addition isn't implying that there could be long-term issues with Jordan Riley, either due to injury or otherwise. Bristol obviously plays the same position as Riley with Beard/Harris/Anglin also in the backcourt mix - that's 5 guys 6'4" and under for 2 or 3 positions on the court.
The other concern is it's another pickup from a low major school. In the last couple years, we've brought in Carey from Siena, Bile from Northwestern State, Rice from the Citadel and now Bristol from Howard. Meanwhile we've lost Akinjo to Arizona (and now #1 Baylor), McClung to Texas Tech, Wahab to Maryland and LeBlanc to LSU. That is not a good trend. We're bringing in worse talent from the transfer portal than we're losing to it. I don't see how that bodes well for top 25 level success. To me, it's another example of how low the bar has fallen for the program. People are cheering Ewing for bringing in a transfer from Howard. In the 80s we brought in top level recruits like Patrick Ewing, Reggie Willliams, Alonzo Mourning. In the 90s, we brought in top level recruits like Othella Harrington, Allen Iverson, and Jahidi White. In the 2000s, we brought in top level recruits like Greg Monroe, Austin Freeman, Chris Wright. Today, we're supposed to get excited about transfers from Northwestern State and Howard. It's really an indictment on how far the program has fallen on Ewing's watch.

Fun! Pick your poison. Who will be left open? I think the sample size with Aminu and Holloway is still too small still to know if they are consistent 40% 3pt shooters. But if they are legit 40% then that is a tantalizing option.

Mo would need to average at an adjusted rate of ~15 rebounds/game for that lineup to be able to work - plus it would be atrocious defensively. That said, it would be an interesting lineup if we're down and need to catch up quickly through 3-pointers.

Bristol obviously plays the same position as Riley with Beard/Harris/Anglin also in the backcourt mix - that's 5 guys 6'4" and under for 2 or 3 positions on the court. I think the thinking is that Bristol replaces (for this post, “replaces” is just spots in the line up - obviously the players I mention are all different styles and - especially with Mo - ability) Riley for the remainder of this season. We assume that we lose Carey, Rice, Mo next year. We’re adding Anglin and Bristol. I absolutely agree with you and hope that this doesn’t mean anything negative for Riley but I think Bristol is more of a replacement for Riley this year and replacement for Carey next year and Riley replaces (returning from injury) Aminu next year. There’s more of a logjam at the PG spot with Beard Harris Anglin than anywhere else but I don’t think it is as crowded as it seems. Bristol, I believe, is also 6’6” so wouldn’t be under 6’4” which would make him closer of a comp to Carey but more athletic. I’d say it’s closer to 5 guys for 3 positions due to the athleticism of Riley and bit of extra height on Bristol. Take what I say with a grain of salt as I genuinely have less basketball knowledge than most of you but here are my two cents anyway. RE: transferring in lesser players than transfer out - I like the guys that Ewing has found and brought in. I see your point but the guys Ewing has brought in are here for a particular role and, so far, I think he’s done well identifying need and getting it via transfer portal. The issue of losing top talent TO the transfer portal is absolutely a concern and here’s to hoping it doesn’t happen again this year.

Once again I have broken the promise to myself not to respond to your inanity. Like other one-theme posters, in your zeal to criticize Ewing every day (hour?, minute?), you often make ridiculous arguments. Of course, other than Mo, no one would dispute that our recent recruiting does not match the 80s and 90s. But do you truly believe that Carey, Bile, and Rice have not performed substantially better post-transfer than LeBlanc? None of the three came from top programs so perhaps, inadvertently, you are applauding Ewing for finding three diamonds in the rough.

Ever heard of a guy called Aminu Mohammed? I don't see that is the issue. I hear from fans who aren't clued into KenPom or who aren't reading virtual tea leaves from someone's Instagram feed, and ask why this has become essentially a .500 program. They see the constant turnover and ask why. The basketball office has long since stopped answering this question. Of Patrick Ewing's 37 recruits since 2017, 11 were inbound transfers, 12 were outbound (some were both) and four were decommits from other programs. Because Georgetown hasn't developed its freshman classes, it resorts to a form of the waiver wire to fill the roster, much like St. John's. Some stay. Others do not. There are players who were gone before most alumni knew they were there in the first place (Chris Sodom, Jalen Harris, Tre King). And much like St. John's, Georgetown is caught in a loop where it doesn't made the climb that everyone expects, then reboots in the summer and we're back next year with the same lofty expectations, but grateful that the APR isn't around and sending all sorts of negative PR onto the University as a result. And before someone adds that "this is the way things are now", note that Villanova doesn't have this volume of regular turnover, or Duke, or other peers that Georgetown used to be considered among. There's a reason why St. John's has been an also-ran for 20 years, and it's instability. It's not a pattern Georgetown should emulate. Then there's this:

Regardless if he is or not, I’d expect any coach to be saying things like that anyway.
