I was just thinking GU needed another 3 behind Summers. He seems as if he can play the 2 as well. A 6'6-6'7 kid, who's still growing and has a high skill set is right up GU's alley.

We need to seriously fill out the PF/C position. In two years, we've got Big Ticket, Braswell, and that's it. We may need to look for some JuCo transfers.

7 footers don't grown on trees. Especially good ones. Lets stop acting as if the only way for the good fortunes to continue is to ahve an effective 7-footer.
Zo wasn't a 7-footer. Sweetney wasn't a 7-footer. I'll take those types guys over the vast majority of 7 footers coming up in high school.
The coaches are recruiting big guys. But versatile wing players are just as important (if not more) to this offense.

Got Sylla on radar and he's a 7-footer. All the others I've seen are 6'9-6'10.

We already have one guard and one big for 2008. I think the plan is to add a 3 (perhaps Joseph), and then two more bigs.

still, that's a lot of inexperience in the frontcourt.

Joseph posted a QUADRUPLE DOUBLE in a game this year that Carroll only won by single digits. He had a sick game-something along lines of 40 points, 16 boards, 12 assists, and 10 blocks. The guy was playing post for Carroll which isn't his spot-he's a SF all the way--but is versatile--has outstanding court vision and instincts to pass the basketball. He is strong on drives to hoop and gets his shot off on anyone. He's a PERFECT PLAYER for GU SYSTEM. Big, versatile, and team oriented. He'll play with DC Assault this Summer with Henry Sims from Mt. St. Joe's in Baltimore joining them as well. Sims is another great fit for Hoya program--big who is skilled, can shoot/pass, and is bigger then listed at 6'9--he's at least 6'11 from what I've seen in games I've watched of him.
When it comes to recruiting, I don't worry about getting talent, but I want to keep the local area on lockdown-if there are players who fit what Georgetown is about--I want them to be Hoyas and Joseph and Sims are good students in addition to being outstanding players--same with Clark. Braswell is capable--he's just got to apply himself more and his mom is really cracking his butt--she's stressing education--and that is great to read.
If you want to see some highlights of Joseph, Clark, Wright, Freeman, go to DCSPORTSFAN.Com--and sign up with free registration--after you get your password, etc... click on WCAC HS BASKETBALL--click on team names in standings and they give you highlights of season on right side of page--you get highlights from each game and can see the kids show some of their talents. You'll not be disappointed in what you see from the future Hoyas and targets like Joseph.
BTW--would love to know who the Terps are talking to because I've heard Joseph won't decide until Summer at earliest.

Kris Joseph is a three star recruit exactly like Jeff was -- they haven't seen him so that's the default.
