To defend Ron here--not that he needs it--but he never said that Ed Davis had Hoyas leading--just that we're still under consideration--which is true. If you are talking where Davis ends up--it's a UVA/UNC battle.
Samardo Samuels is a great player--just wasn't feeling Hoyas that much--and that happens--not a fit for everyone.
However--when it comes to filling needs for '08 class--Greg Monroe would be ideal and just glad to see he's got GU under consideration--because it's an ideal fit for both parties--not that other programs aren't--but ideal in terms of at least it's a possibility. He wants a program that doesn't force him to play one spot and can showcase his total game/skill set. No school lets guys "just play" like III and Hoyas--there is the ability to create at any position and not just stay as a "PF" or "SF".
Dunigan is a bruiser--he's a physical player but has nice passing skills--watched tape of Boo Williams tournament on HoopsTV.NET and he threw a beautiful backdoor bounce pass from high post-followed by monster follow dunk off missed shot ala Jeff against BC in NCAA's--not quite as sick but you get picture. Big 10 people who keep saying "Dunigan's mom wants him close to home" forget to add she said that would be ideal---BUT---it's up to my son and what is best for him and if he's at a place that I can see a lot of his games on television and I know it's a great school/program, I'd be just as happy.
Everyone in Illinois thinks it's a Hoya-Illini battle--if Georgetown wants to stay on him--and some have even said if Hoyas were in Midwest--this would already be over--in their favor. So if GU chooses to pursue Michael, I think they'll be in the mix until he decides.
Monroe is rumored to be signing Spring period and that gives Hoyas time to pursue him/make up for lost time and hopefully get him up on campus to visit--he's narrowing it down to a top 5 by end of Spring--as Ron/ID's site mentioned. Hoyas are coming on strong in this--and just love how GU is a serious threat on recruiting trail again--not just courtesy mentions either--we're players with big time recruits--and that is only going to continue as III is just getting started!!
