Neck's too long, too much wasted height.Can I get the phone number of the presumed widow from that first pic? Not really sure that Doogie was able to save the guy.
New time probably indicates it will be G’town. The original 8pm announcement time was if he was choosing Illinois — he wanted to be part of Loyalty after Dark.
I am not sure “Georgetown is Georgetown” any more than “(Dee Brown Era) Illinois was (Malcolm Hill Era) “Illinois.” We both have good histories, play in nationally televised games vs. big name opponents, are covered regularly in big markets, etc …. but if your team is terrible, it’s going to hinder your exposure a bit. Most avid college basketball fans knew who Malcom was … your average 24-year old girl out in Old Town on a Saturday who never watches sports knows who Kofi is. I know that’s Chicago, but still.You all need to get out of the Big 10 bubble. Georgetown is still Georgetown...they play in the Big East, play games in MSG and get plenty of national attention regardless of their record.
Approximately!What do say the Illini chances are, 33%?
I don't know. You might be right but Ewing has been there for 5 years and just went 0-19 in the conference. He is responsible for the talent, not the last guy.I don't see Georgetown getting rid of Ewing anytime soon to be honest. Recruiting has been the issue for them, not coaching. They don't have much talent on that roster.
People think this is similar to the Chris Mullin situation at St Johns but Chris had a boatload of talent on the roster that lost to Arizona State in the First Four.
What happens when Ewing is canned? You'd think a guy transferring from a school where his coach just got canned would be particularly interested in stability.Everyone I have talked to is saying it's going to be Georgetown and it has been that way since they hired Nickelberry.
He really liked Tennessee and Illinois but he wants to be the man.
G-Town basically sold him on being the next Aminu. 15 shots a game, and of course some lucrative NIL stuff.
What are your thoughts on bomb cyclones?I think it's going to rain tomorrow, but it might also be sunny, or just cloudy.
Discuss.
I have not seen Dain yet but I wouldn't be so quick to put him behind anyone at the 5 spot if Kofi were to leave. Hawk got backed down by bigger guys at times and at the 5 that may be a better role for Dain than Hawk.Would guess 3 man rotation with Dain, Hawk, and Hopkins for the frontcourt.
He's from Baltimore, so it's also a move home. It's not like he doesn't know Georgetown stinks or that Ewing is on the hot seat. He's not going there for Ewing, he's going there for Nickelberry.What happens when Ewing is canned?

I think you are right for the most part. I would pick a team with a better chance to go to tournament though to maximize exposure. But the NIL money part does sound attractive.He's from Baltimore, so it's also a move home. It's not like he doesn't know Georgetown stinks or that Ewing is on the hot seat. He's not going there for Ewing, he's going there for Nickelberry.
So if you are able to go home, get a nice load of cash, be the focal point of the team, which will help your personal NBA stock, why not? You trade team wins for a lot of personal wins. Not a terrible trade.
If Ewing is fired and Nickelberry leaves, well these kids are used to hopping from high school to high school. I don't think they're overly concerned of hopping from college to college.
Maybe he’s used to balancing?What happens when Ewing is canned? You'd think a guy transferring from a school where his coach just got canned would be particularly interested in stability.
Not true. I will hear it often when I bet against the Hoyas most games. Very reliable.He goes to Georgetown and today will be the last day anyone outside of Georgetown hears his name.
Not disagreeing, saying Dain and Hawk to start but Hawk would move to center when Hopkins comes to relieve Dain. Actually think they would put a high priority on backup to Dain because they really would not to play Hawk at the 5. Would be easier to play Dain at the four than Hawk at the five.I have not seen Dain yet but I wouldn't be so quick to put him behind anyone at the 5 spot if Kofi were to leave. Hawk got backed down by bigger guys at times and at the 5 that may be a better role for Dain than Hawk.
Great for him. I fully respect and appreciate good players playing for the home team. We all should, since Ayo making a similar move to a crappy team started the parade. And since we are now vying for TSJ and, to a lesser extent, Adam, to do the same.www.instagram.com
This is flipping hilarious...........I just laughed out loud in my office.Expecting Murray to announce for Georgetown, but I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to us or Tennessee either
The effects of your announcement being stolen by the internet. Committing 6 hours early
It was more interesting when kids stayed local. However now they even jump in HS to these sports academies.Great for him. I fully respect and appreciate good players playing for the home team. We all should, since Ayo making a similar move to a crappy team started the parade. And since we are now vying for TSJ and, to a lesser extent, Adam, to do the same.
I wish him great luck.
There is no reason to be snooty, people likely said the same thing when Ayo chose to come to Illinois when we were god awful with seemingly no hope in sight prior to his commit.He goes to Georgetown and today will be the last day anyone outside of Georgetown hears his name.
I doubt he thinks he’s going to transfer and they are going to go 10-15 next year. I’m sure he believes with the guys there and adding himself, that their going to be significantly better.What happens when Ewing is canned?
