Very happy this worked out. If the Georgetown name still carries much more gravitas with recruits than Providence - and I think it does - we should all be optimistic that Cooley can get us back to being a consistent top 15-30 team with periodic top 10 seasons.

Bass had easily the most impressive combo of length, athleticism, and motor of the two games I watched. Also looked very good getting rebounds at the high point. Skill level certainly needs work as he had a few sloppy turnovers off the dribble, the jumper looked sketchy, and he missed a bunch of shots at the rim (although I'm guessing they were shots he'd usually make). Definitely a lot of upside.
Anglin's jumper looked good as expected (although he didn't shoot a particularly high percentage today), and he is fairly strong and looks like a good straight line athlete. Not sure he will have the quickness to beat other guards off the dribble in isolation. Had a few nice dishes.
As noted above, Murray was hit in the face and didn't really get involved in the few minutes before the injury.
Primo was fairly impressive as a distributor and has a nice handle, but didn't look as quick as I had hoped. Jumper isn't all that smooth either.
I think I saw Bristol standing behind the benches later in the day after his team had played.
Wilson is playing so not sure what his status is with the team.
This is all from one game of course - a few shots for each guy go a different way and my recaps may look a lot different.

Lack of an announcer is definitely annoying and I don't know the local scene well enough to identify a lot of these guys.
Saw Ronny before the game at Wiseys. Jerome Williams is also here, and as noted above Rodney Pryor joined Clyde's at the half since they only had 5 guys.
No Bristol.
Qudus looked a bit quicker than when he played as last here, but the skill level looks similar. Good around the basket, but when he tried to shoot 3s or penetrate from the perimeter it wasn't pretty.
Ezewiro looked better than I expected. Hit 4-5 threes and long twos and looked fairly comfortable doing it, but I'm yet not sure if it would translate to a real game. Didn't show much of a post game and couldn't prevent Q from getting good position inside. Solid athleticism and decent quickness, although still hard to tell if he could play the 4 regularly.
Dante really struggled and his jumper still needs a lot of work.

Cal Baptist is actually coming off a better season than Pacific, Eastern Michigan, or Southeast Missouri State.

To reverse all the completely speculative hypotheticals back onto TC - is your position that Georgetown offered Murray (and Ward, if we get him) the best financial package by making under the table payments? If so, where do you think we get the funding for that and how do you think we outbid other schools with much larger and more involved donors?

Scott Greene switch from X to Georgetown on rivals. I'm stating the obvious but have to like our chances given he seemingly posted his decision date during a visit to campus.

Outside of Nova, how many elite 8 and final 4 appearances does the post-breakup Big East have? Two if I'm not mistaken, Butler & Xavier Nova has almost single handedly been keeping the BE in the conversation with the power 5 conferences. Plenty of other programs have had good seasons, but nobody else has consistently been a threat in the tournament. If Nova can't maintain the same level, other programs will have to step up for the BE to maintain the same level of relevance.

I can convince myself that elevating Crouch is acceptable as long as Orr is moving to a non-recruiting role.

I'm going to say it again - the last coach got fired for not playing Trey Mourning because his Dad was on the Board of Directors. No one in their right mind with a 6-19 record that wanted to return as Coach would sit Ryan Mutombo like this. Alonzo isn't on the Board of Directors right now. Dikembe is. governance.georgetown.edu/board-of-directors/I've only seen it mentioned on this board - can you link me to more details on Alonzo getting JTIII fired?

Guys - when certain other posters say crazy things, it is probably better to just ignore them rather than the entire board trying to change their minds.
Who cares if there are 2 people left who value staring into Pat's eyes over winning games? Outside of them, there is a broad consensus on what needs to happen.

Looks like Bristol is in street clothes.
Attendance is ... not great.

We only have 2 players with a rebound at the half. Not sure I've ever seen that before.

I've had season tickets since 2002 when I was a student, and as far as I can remember have attended every game since unless I was out of town. Even during the leaner years I always looked forward to the games.
This year is different. Attending games seems more like a chore or duty, and I can barely motivate myself to go watch us lose by 20 - and this from someone who lives less than a 10 minute metro ride from the arena.
I'm a natural optimist but it is getting very difficult to find reasons to be positive for the future.

Is Bristol on the bench?

Stats look promising.
So he transferred after missing last year with an injury? Anyone know why he didn't transfer in somewhere in the fall?

Guys need to realize they can't pass to Wilson when he is on the move

Beard starting and playing 35 minutes seems like a no-brainer.
Rice and Jalin seem fine in warmups.

Yep, I see Riley (not in uniform), but don't see Kaiden or Jalin.

I'm not sure what your point is. Obviously it would be cool if Rice was also a good defender, rebounder and passer - but even though he isn't, he is still absolutely a very useful Big East-level player and is elite at the most important skill in basketball.
So why focus so much on what he can't do?
