No player on a 2-19 team is indispensable. Styles has some skills to contribute, but he was not nearly assertive enough - and no, not just because Epps often dominated the ball. I feel that Cooley wants every guy to be aggressive and intense.
At the same time, maybe Dontrez just wants an opportunity to play for a winning tournament team and did not think we are getting there next year.
Good luck to him.

Harry nearing the home stretch on college choices and Newhouse is the clubhouse leader. He wants to broadcast and it really is the best place for that I hope everyone will still love him if he goes Orange… You are a terrible father. 😉 A great choice for broadcasting. Hopefully Rich can hold on a few more years and Harry can take his place! Although I have a feeling Harry will be more of a national guy.

GU, Texas, UVA in Mack's final 3 according to Trilly. Visits beginning this weekend.
Thinking that Cuse/Vandy no longer being listed is a good sign for our chances and gives a higher degree of probability that KJ is somewhat involved despite the program for whatever reason refusing to publicly acknowledge his or anyone else's hire. HoyaTalk Rule #1, posted by the same Admin who this morning says I'm not allowed to post Tweets without context (even though other posters do it all the time, including other board admins, and there is not a rule against it): "1. Avoid posting material from subscription sites or message boards." hoyatalk2.proboards.com/thread/13110/message-board-rules-updated-27Pretty sure that rule refers to posting links etc. to a pay site item, not a brief mention/summary of info from a site.

As a former college pitcher I love the rare pitcher's duel!

multiple sources so looks like it will happen. Apparently Jerry Jones greased the wheel

Not clear why you are so worried -- please explain. There's bound to be anxiety as portal entries commit and more enter as we continue to evaluate and ponder. I'd rather have a deliberate, thoughtful process than jumping at the first low hanging fruit. Do you not think that EC & Co. are not working on specific targets with a master plan worthy of a key second year of the Build? My concern is less with prospective portal additions than with the asst. coach vacancy. I'd like to know where that stands. Cooley was on three flights yesterday making three different visits. They have been going hard at this. Can't fault the effort. Hopefully we can't fault the results.

Can someone wake me up in 2 months and tell me the outcome. This is all just crazy what goes on each year. And ruining college basketball. It's professional basketball played with the name of a college on your shirt.

Griffiths looked pretty good against the Hoyas. Crafty game and can hit the 3, although his shooting numbers overall last season weren't very good. I'm actually glad to not see G'Town on this list. He's a SF/PF, and we have Styles here with Caleb and Drew McKenna coming in. I also don't want to see anyone coming in the door that might affect Fielder's playing time. I want to see him getting at least 18-20 minutes per game next year (minimum). I also firmly believe in the McKenna hype, so I think he's definitely going to be seeing a fair bit of floor time in the 3/4 spot (the 4 spot obviously depends on what lineup the opposing team has on the floor). I think the 2 Drew's have serious upside to them, so I don't want too many guys coming in that might dig into their PT. I'm assuming Drew will be playing the 4 a bit next year, when teams are playing bigger lineups. If we have Supreme, Fielder and Sorber next year, that likely only leaves 1 spot open in the frontcourt (although I know G'Town has been said to be looking for 2). That number might be dependent on what happens with Supreme, does he enter the portal or not? The guy we bring in has to be a stud, and I would be disappointed if the guy we bring in is a Gavin Griffiths type. Fielder is a career backup/role player. If we get a player that is better than Fielder who cares about his playing time. This is a senseless take Fielder had the most potential of any guy on the team last season.

Cooley was hired on March 20 and many have said how that was such a late start and how he was so disadvantaged because of it. That's why this year was such a failure. It's now 9 days after that this year and I think people should realize how silly that was especially considering he brought much of his staff with him. That said we really never got coaching announcements last year and the first big 3 transfers all announced on the same day or close to it last year and that was in early April. Maybe there is already a lot of pieces lined up and the incredible Georgetown PR department is holding all the news for one big splash. I wouldn't put anything past them. They may just be waiting for Ronnie’s okay on the press release announcing his triumphant return…. I just threw up in my mouth a little

Would be a fantastic start to our portal recruiting.
So it probably won't happen. Someone with an even bigger NIL budget will outbid us.

I’ve honestly stopped coming to hoyatalk as a result of a few horrible posters…who recycle and regurgitate the same vitriol over and over again. Instead, I now just have a weekly call with Cooley and don’t share any of it. Worth it for some who post here to read this again. This is not the only person who feels this way. Unfortunately I don't imagine it will change anything Then again, just as with getting a spot in the Tournament - it never hurts to dream a little!

Instead, I now just have a weekly call with Cooley and don’t share any of it. We miss your insight and your objectivity b&g. Of course the results the last few years foster growing unhappiness and criticism. But I have (mostly) learned to quickly skim posts from the handful of more negative posters to determine whether there is informative content (which I read) or just more program/coach bashing (which I skip). Please don't let them control this board and its content.

Regardless of KJ's role in whatever went down, the spin is quite obvious. It's public perception and name recognition. Almost everyone knows who Rick Pitino is, and he has a slimy perception amongst a lot of college basketball fans. Now, how many people do you think know Kenny Johson? And how many people will even know he's an assistant coach at Georgetown? I'm old enough to remember hand-wringing and pearl-clutching from some around here when we hired the likes of Broads and Nickelberry. But I'm sure those folks will be on board with this hire. Why are you "sure" about that? Have any of the posters who complained about Broadus or Nickleberry approved the Johnson hiring? On the flip side, have any posters who supported hiring Pitino looked down their noses at hiring Johnson?

Cooley told Rowan they are looking to bring in a PG through the portal. Rowan decided to leave. Pretty simple.

This is going to be a rebuild through HS recruiting. Constant recycling of transfer portal players can't be the answer. 85-90% of college players will never make money playing ball after college. So they need to make all they can during their 4 years. Coaches will never be able to count on having a kid for more than a year at the time, so unless you can get big time freshman contributors, or have enough $$ to outbid other schools for your own players, you can't count on high school recruiting as your business model.

This new world of college basketball is testing my resolve to remain a college basketball fan. Every year is unrestricted free agency. Amen. You can't root for players any more, you just root for the jersey.

Already 1 transfer and more than last likely 2-3 more. Nobody going to stay here. The school or students or community cares. This is not ever going to be better. No home stadium to play in says a lot. This team under Cooley didn’t even play defense. Inexcusable. Nobody can win here mark it down nobody can win here. It’s just irrelevant and no one give a damn about the basketball program. Just shut it down and forget it. Never change same garbage year after freaking year. Sick of this mess. Sounds like it is time for you to find yourself a new, relevant team to root for so you are not sick any more.
