None of these things happened: … energize boosters …. You know what energizes boosters? Wins, a team that looks like its improving, no excuses, etc... Cooley took responsibility so that's a step in the right direction. college basketball/NIL/transfer rules have changed since Pat and, contrary to Pat, Cooley is working it, so that's very good. Well you can't complain that we have a big NIL budget and therefore should have better results - and then say boosters have not been energized. That "big NIL budget" had to come from somewhere -maybe energized boosters??

Are you equating not getting minutes on a Kentucky NCAA tourney team with not getting minutes on a Patrick Ewing team? In any event, still not something you have to throw out there 20 minutes after the young man commits. I didn't "throw it out there", I was just defending a reasonable comment from another poster. Just because it's not what you want to hear doesn't make it unreasonable and anti-Georgetown. The "throw it out there" comment referred to DFW, not you.

I usually echo 'vad's Dead To Me sentiment for players who leave. But I will be rooting for Ryan, an outstanding example of a student athlete who will do incredible things off the court.

The ones who felt you were consistently negative. I had not really felt so, until you slammed Burks. Not intended as such--let's make that clear. Being frustrated in the process is not being negative, it's just not what many expected a year ago. Well you suggested they brought Burks in to fill Ryan's seat on the bench - so to play a total of 56 minutes all season. Maybe you did not mean it to be negative, but it sure came across that way to me.

Wow, nothing like slamming a player literally minutes after he becomes a Hoya. Guess they were right about you DFW. THEY The ones who felt you were consistently negative. I had not really felt so, until you slammed Burks.

Good pickup. Need a center. According to the Lexington Herald-Leader, Burks is ranked #504 in the current portal and was among only five three-star players to have ever signed in the Calipari era at Kentucky--in other words, everyone else was a four or five star. If all Georgetown was recruiting for was someone to fill Ryan Mutombo's seat on the bench, that's not progress. www.kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-basketball-men/article287852805.htmlWow, nothing like slamming a player literally minutes after he becomes a Hoya.

A legacy transferred, wow! He got his Georgetown degree. Ryan is going to do incredible things in his life that have nothing to do with basketball. So we have to wish him one season of playing time to enjoy the game.

This coach is 99% correct, since it was anonymous anyway it would have been better if he called out the Board of Governors instead of the "NCAA". The Board makes the rules decisions, the NCAA tries to enforce them. The system is out of control due to the greed of the administrations of the powerful member programs. I feel like they need to go to a 2yr contract and only 1 un-penalized transfer(unless coach leaves/is fired). This WW West does feel like it can't be sustained. I don't think limiting (penalizing) transfers will work, will be challenged in court as restraint of trade.

I cannot imagine Cooley asking a kid to do that and thereby limit his own opportunities. More likely that he was upfront about our portal recruiting, told Supreme his minutes would be drastically cut if we find a better option, and Supreme now knows that we have so he is looking for a place with PT.

Before I dive into more fun debate with other people's arguments, I want to go down a couple of more statistics. Turnovers are a key indicator for one's oncourt effectiveness and efficiency. A player can put up commendable numbers that garner all the attention such as points, rebounds, assists, etc, but often enough we don't know the whole complete story until we see what their turnover stats are. I have seen my share of Hoya bigs over the decades who have come up short in the wrong way in this category despite their quality production in other areas. So color me impressed when I went back to sports reference and saw that Fielder committed a grand total of 13 turnovers for the entire year. Thirteen over the course of 467 minutes played. I was floored by those numbers. A freshmen big who turns over the ball that little despite having the ball in his hands in territory stretching from inside the paint to beyond the three-point line is not that common. Tt suggests he can take care of the ball and not waste possessions by travelling, making bad passes or succumbing to unforced errors. That means when he is taking dribble drives to the basket, which was probably his second most frequent type of attack when he was looking to score, he did so without dribbling the ball off his feet. Look how his turnovers compared to other teammates, in particular the other "bigs". I hate to beat a dead horse but Ish Massoud accumulated twice as many turnovers in 589 minutes. Supreme Cook had 47 in 866 minutes. It should come as no surprise that guards and wings accumulated more turnovers because the ball is in their hands more. So lets look at assists and assists-to-turnovers ratios. Drew had 23 assists to 13 turnovers. That is almost a 2 to 1 ratio for a freshman big which is remarkable. Ish had 11 less assists (12) than Fielder despite playing over 120 plus more minutes. Cook had a mere 18 assists in 866 minutes. So from an assist to turnover standpoint Cook was 18 to 47; Ish was 12 to 26. Both of them are in the negative. Fielder was 23 to 13. Lets not stop there. Lets look at Styles. In 1073 minutes: 26 assists and 49 turnovers. Epps in 1010 minutes put up 123 assists and 98 turnovers. In 686 minutes Rowan accumulated 82 assists and 62 turnovers. For Jay Heath who played 886 minutes he had a total of 60 assists and 41 turnovers. In 649 minutes Wayne Bristol managed 25 assists and 19 turnovers. It should come as no surprise that guards and wings would amass more assists than turnovers. What is surprising is that Fielder's ratio is better than all of our guards and wings of that season. Even more shocking is another category. Fielder was the second leading Hoya in blocks despite playing the least minutes of the 8 guys who made up the primary rotation. Styles led everyone with 21; Fielder fell one short with 20. Cook in 400 more minutes had a mere 16 blocks. Massoud ended up with 11. One more category. Steals. Fielder had the least in 10 but that was still highly impressive considering the position he played and the limited minutes he got. Epps led the way with 34, followed by Wayne and Rowan with 28 apiece, followed by Cook with 25, followed by Heath with 21, followed by Styles with 18 (even though he led the team with 1073 minutes) and finally Massoud with 14. If you consider the minutes each played, Drew's total of ten is proportionally better than everyone other than Epps and possibly Rowan and Wayne. The numbers were not all good for Fielder. He picked up a disproportionate amount of personal fouls, which largely explains some of the questions regarding his minutes. His rebounding numbers could have been stronger too. Although, even on this front, his final total of 98 minutes was still twenty higher than Massoud's. (I'm sorry, Ish; its not personal). So to sum it up just by the numbers how did Fielder stack up compared to the other seven dudes who logged the big minutes: -second to Cook in 2-point FG% and overall FG% -a close second to Cook in eFG% -the best three-point percentage on the team -the best ORtg on the team -the best DRtg on the team -the best assist to turnover ratio -second on the team in blocks -sneaky good at steals. I understand Fielder's faults and I have not been trying to cover them up. But he was playing on a squad full of players with faults. My argument remains, respectively, that this kid should have gotten more time. And these numbers contradict the various negative narratives from many of Hoya fandom, a couple that have gone as far as implying that he isn't capable of being a starter for this team anytime soon (no, SF, this is not directed at you). If the analytics of Fielder were negative and far worse, his same detractors would use them as the final say. But the numbers counter the viewpoint that they put forth. I was told there would be no math. 😡

If Cliff gets the godfather offer that he seeks from somewhere else, good luck to him. Can't begrudge him or any other kid for doing so, especially if they're not a surefire NBA player. That being said, I am curious to see what the final number is vs. our offer. If we got blown out of the water and someone else massively overpaid, I can live with that. If we were haggling over 100-200K and had the opportunity to meet in the middle but chose not to, I'd be a little bit more annoyed. Time will tell. I'm not sure time will tell Yeah we will never know yet that type of info.

While I would rather have Omoruyi if that was the choice we had, I think Awaka would be a big improvement on the defensive end over Cook IF he can avoid fouling. That's really been a huge problem for him both freshman and sophomore year and is an inherent limit to his minutes. If we aren't in the running for Omoyuri, I think Awaka would be a nice pickup. The guy just did an official visit at Georgetown and 3 nights ago was partying at Kenny Johnson's condo watching a fight. Additionally, we probably have more NIL money to give him than any other team does. How is that not "in the running for Omoyuri"? Awaka doesn't move the needle for next year's Hoyas team. He's a slight upgrade to Cook but I'd rather those minutes go to Fielder and Sorber, if Awaka is our option - especially if Awaka costs anything from an NIL standpoint. "Probably have more NIL money to give him than any other team does" is entirely speculation.
