Wait, WHAT? Bad recruiting? They were ranked in the top 10 by pretty much every single publication in the country. Before the season started, pretty much everyone on here was predicting a threepeat and now Hurley is getting bagged for having a bad recruiting class?
And I'd like to think that'll help us win a few games.
In terms of backup center, Boakye is exactly the type of guy we need: a no-nonsense, strong defensive low-post center.
Is currently out of eligibility. Applying for a waiver. Doubt he gets it.
No one ever saw Abraham but the coaches in practice. We don’t know what he will turn out to be but usually fans get an extended look at a player before calling him a miss. At least we saw Nowell.
Pringle and ewan to Arkansas
Abraham wasn't supposed to be a freshman wonder. We will be able to see firsthand if he was Big East capable as he develops at Georgetown.
and Nowell battled through multiple injuries (shoulder and ankle) and never moved the same or handled the ball as well after the injuries
I posted about this. Especially the shoulder part. And it got removed. That kid probably was too injured for us to get an honest read on him. Shoulder injuries will limit your ability to fully move or use that arm for several months. In the NIL era, to expose the extent of an injury probably hurts a player’s value.
Gosh, maybe you should see the success rates at other programs lmao
To be honest guys- throughout the Hurley era amongst the transfers who left the program haven’t made a huge impact with other teams- hopefully for Nowell & Abraham that changes.
And I'm still not sure I'd call either one of them a "miss", per se. They absolutely could have used meaningful minutes from Nowell at PG, but he was injured twice, and that definitely impacted his ability to contribute and develop. The "transfer portal era" is just a different animal, now. They were both 4 star recruits, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to play meaningful minutes as a freshman, and in days gone by, probably not. Now, if you don't, you're out the door. I honestly don't know where or when Abraham was supposed to get in the lineup, frankly.
There was no opportunity for him to show himself. If he proves out at GTown and Alex doesn’t return it will still be a wasted talent . But we will see. Who actually saw what he could do? Players and coaches. That’s it unless someone here was getting into practices.
I'd prefer you had a sense of humor.
I remember him frustrating the hell out of Dixon.
Not all of the top tier talent drops early - some wait to see if they make the Combine, for example. I'm not worried, we'll get what we need. The biggest gap was solved by Demary & Smith. Drink some Kool Aid, it's tastes great.
And I repeat... "I honestly don't know where or when Abraham was supposed to get in the lineup, frankly."
