For the few of us that remain, it seems next to impossible to actually talk about any topic without at some point going on about the elephant in the room. I fell victim to it here for sure. I'm not even sure what I'm hoping to find when I come here numerous times during the day.

YaBoyNyP is right in that its primarily about level of talent as well as the experience level of that talent...we were short on both ends of the stick last year compared to all the other teams in the Big East...that's the proverbial double whammy and predictably resulted in a last place finish...its a credit to PE as a coach, mostly ignored by many on this board, that the team continued to compete hard through the end of the season in spite of the burden that the losing streak placed on them...now there's no question that the talent level has to be upgraded significantly on next year's roster, and that challenge remains at this point...its amazing though how great some coaches look with a roster of five stars and how poor a coach looks with an inexperienced roster of below average talent...no doubt its the responsibility of the coach to recruit/build his roster, but in the end its mostly, as the saying goes, "not about the x's and o's, its about the jimmie's and joe's"...

Is there any real news on Pegues coming to the Hoyas in the last few days? The conversation about Ewing and his coaching ability has been beaten to death at this point. I think Pegues would help the program as an assistant and recruiter. I don't know how much he will help but I think he would be an improvement. I hope he comes to Georgetown. Ron posted something last night: georgetown.rivals.com/news/who-these-guys-are-mike-peguesIf you're looking for news, I don't have any inside information. What I would guess is that we've spoken to him, offered him a job, and are desperate enough to hold it open for him while he interviews looking for a job literally anywhere else. So I wouldn't expect it to move quickly at all.

I've got a question on Pegues. If he is just waiting on Mack to make a move possibly next year when some dust settles, how does that help us? Unless he brings in players right away, he could be cultivating relationships for Mack's next stop, not for the Hoyas in '23. Obviously he could fall in love with the hoyas but just trying to be the pessimist here.
Unless he is our D specialist and really has some strong ideas there, I would like to see someone like Brooks who might have a higher probability of sticking around for 2+ years.

I'm not even sure what I'm hoping to find when I come here numerous times during the day. This thread is about a potential assistant coach, to me its hard to have a serious conversation about the candidate without talking about the HC. Especially given the fact that we dont know how assistants are used off the recruiting trail by PE.

Assuming this gets finalized - which seems likely - hopefully Crouch flips with Orr and gets the third full time spot.
Nickelberry. Pegues. Crouch. All of a sudden makes for a very intriguing DMV 3 headed monster.

It’s like Weekend At Bernie’s, the two assistants prop up the coach. Hoping for the best on the recruiting trail.

Thad Matta says playing hard is a given. I like this thought on how the team will play @ the 30 second mark.

Yes i have some more info haven't you been LISTENING? we need to also hire OSMAN BANGURA! Google him. I can make it happen. Tell someone to email me to hook it up. I'm well connected in the local basketball scene. kevin Durants God Father Taras "Stink" Brown was my coach growing up and mentor. That's how I met Mike Pegues. We played with Ed Sheffey who was a Hoya in 1997, then I started coaching with the PG Jaguars, Seat Pleasant Recand numerous AAU programs. I know everyone. Not bragging just facts. Recruiting is about relationships. I know who this program should go after to be able to keep the talent home.

If the choice is between getting premium, accurate insider information but having to listen to you versus just waiting for news to break, I’d happily wait the extra few days for the official announcement. hm

That was a shame.
