Abraham is in the portal

Ross provided a whole lot of nothing.

put me down for him being a serious all-conference level player in a couple years. 3&D+

"Earned minutes and a few starts"?

He started 1 game. Against Providence when McNeeley was hurt. 12 min, 0 pts, 0 reb, 0 assists, 0 steals.
After 12/1, in 26 games, he scored 2 pts or less 21 times.

That's a guy Abraham didn't think he could take minutes from?

The fact that Abraham still didn't get any opportunity over him should answer your questions

Maybe, but he's not going to get much run at Georgetown next year unless multiple people hit the portal.

At the 3/4 forward position, Georgetown returns both Williamses, added Langston Love (Baylor, can play 2 through 4), Duncan Powell (GT, will play 4/5), KJ Lewis (Arizona, will play (1 through 3)), and DeShawn Harris-Smith (Maryland, can play 2/3). Georgetown also has three other frontcourt pieces returning that were freshmen last season.

He got recruited over by a one and done. Plus, we don’t know the actual circumstances that led to him leaving. His position is small forward. We had five small forwards last season. Only one small forward is leaving and one more is coming in, that is rated higher than him. He was on board and signed for over a year before Liam committed. You can’t ask him to be loyal to a situation that wasn’t loyal to him. In the portal era, there’s no lane that’s wide open for kids in his situation.That four year eligibility clock is ticking.

AMEN to this

1) You don't know if AK is back.
2) No reason to think Ross does anything more than Abraham could do.
3) You can't plug Furphy into the minutes mix like that. I don't care what Hurley says. Nowell and Abraham didn't get minutes this year, Furphy's not guaranteed to get them next year.

We don't know if Hurley wanted him back. I'll give you that. But, in my mind? He committed, didn't earn time and quit on his committment.

In the portal era a kid commits to one year and then you have to re-recruit them. That’s why most kids now announce if they are coming back or going into the portal. It’s the new normal.

This kid commits to us. Stays one year. With injuries and departures, has every right to earn time on the floor and barely sees any time at all. We lose 5-6 players to graduation and the portal and the lane is wide open for him to work hard an earn a big role....yet he decides to quit on us.

On top of that, he stays in the conference. On top of that he goes to a scumbag like Ed Cooley. And we're giving him the send off of a beloved hero? Best of luck! Good for him!

I guess I came from a time where you fouled a guy then didn't help him back up. And while I don't wish for an injury or something tragic to him....I certainly don't hope that he blossoms and lives up to his press clippings.

I will say I think he probably looked at the time of the season that McNeeley was injured and thought “ok I will get a shot if the coach believes in me” and never saw the floor. We don’t know who was great or not great in practice but we did see a loyalty and hear about how great Ross was. Yet he never proved he was anything close to what was said and even Stewart wasn’t consistently good in many of those games. I think he should’ve seen the floor but I’m nobody but I don’t blame the kid one bit.

And I hope he does real well except vs the Huskies! Just me….

UConn fans never had an opportunity for an eye test. He made a baseline move and score in one game early on and it was impressive. That was it. Anybody have clips?
 
Looks like Abraham is in line to start at Georgetown.

Should be interesting to see what he does with the opportunity this year. They might not be winning as of yet but Cooley did produce two NBA draft picks last year and Abraham has the tools.

Looking forward to seeing what Abraham does with the chance.

Only person holding Abraham back was himself. If he gets his mind right his potential is sky high. Hopefully he does--I love a competitive big east

They don't have all their players for that event. KJ Lewis and Langston Love would be expected to start over Abraham and DHS.

Got it. Seems like they'll run 3 guards in the starting lineup? Abraham may be first behind Caleb Williams.

Georgetown may have a chance to make some huge inroads in the DMV if those two succeed coming from Sidwell Prep and Paul IV (or VI I always mess this up).
 
My guess of Georgetown's lineup:

Players that will earn starter minutes, regardless if they start or come off the bench (5)
  • G - Malik Mack
  • G - KJ Lewis
  • G - Jeremiah Williams
  • W - Langston Love
  • F - Caleb Williams
Players that will get at least a heavy bench role, but also a chance to start (3)
  • W - DeShawn Harris-Smiith
  • C - Vincent Iwuchukwu
  • C - Julius Halaifonua
Right now, I'd say Abraham is, at best, the 9th man, most likely getting most of his minutes as the backup 4. Could play more if Caleb Williams plays some small ball 5.

I’m sure I’m in the minority but I think Ross is going to see some minutes most games and not just in garbage time.

I suppose it's possible, but even if you think Ross is ahead of Furphy which is looking increasingly unlikely by the day I just don't see it. It's going to an 8 man rotation and he's miles behind Smith, Stewart, Reibe
