Jayden Epps really screwed up by spending 2 seasons at Georgetown...he could have joined the "5 teams in 5 years Club" with AJ Storr!

I'm not sure about fascination. I see it as rabid optimism. It's also seen in greatly overrating our talent, especially freshmen.

Hope springs eternal.

Honestly, who’s been greatly overrated this offseason?

— We’re a projected top 5 team by every metric.

— Mirk is a projected 1st Team All American by Vegas. He’s 4th in player of the year odds.

— Vaaks, Andrej, and Tomi are projected top 100 players in college basketball.

— The only freshman in the projected starting lineup is a consensus 5 star, top 15 recruit who was possibly the best player on Team USA this summer and all we need is from him is to be our 5th(?) best player.

— So if by “overrating our freshman”, you mean, we hope one of our freshman can come off the bench as our *9th* man and provide 5-10 minutes and 1-2 points each game, then yes, we’re overrating our freshman.

Half the time, I see more belief in this team by national media than I do on this board.
