Not sure if anybody posted this from today's Post...
For all those wondering about JTIII's recruiting style, it covers some of those points:
*************************
What kind of player will John Thompson III recruit?
"Good players," he said with a laugh, sounding more like John II than III. "I like players who can do everything. You recruit the most talented players you can; Syracuse won a national championship with Carmelo Anthony, who stayed one year. That wasn't a bad thing. If leaving early makes sense, well. . . .
"We have to get better slowly. The beauty of Georgetown is you can recruit nationally and internationally because of the program's history and tradition."
Who was John III's favorite Georgetown player?
"John Duren. I liked watching him play. He controlled the game and made the other guys better."
************************
Full article has another quote from JTII, but is mostly about Tillman.
