2 outta the 4 transfers go to inter-conference programs, gonna be fun next season

Good luck to him. A good Georgetown program is good for the Big East. Ewing is still a terrible coach though

Don’t count Ewing out just yet. Putting together a nice roster, did win a Big East Championship, will Hurley win one soon ?

He’s 23-62 on conference play and just went 0-20 last year.

Safe to count him out.

Whenever someone switches teams it always reminds me of the guys who moved up to the Yankees. e.g. Mr. Wage Boggs!

The Big East is more incestuous than SEC fans

Akok should get a nice ovation when he returns to UConn. Afterwards, he can get put on a poster by Andre Jackson.

True, but a bounce back year this season and he’s not going anywhere. Time will tell. I’m rooting for him. A good Georgetown is a better Big East.

Agreed, which is why I want Georgetown to go 0-20 again so they end this charade and hire a real basketball coach

“Intra,” you mean?

Safe to count him out.

And wasn’t the championship via the BE tournament, so with several upsets, rather than, say, an impressive regular season record?

If I had to choose between Hurley’s regular season results, but no BE championship, and Ewing’s regular season records and single, fluky, BE championship, I’d have to go with Hurley.

I can’t argue with you about the record, but I do like Patrick Ewing and hope he somehow turns things around. He needs a George Blaney type assistant. First time Chief inadvertently ran into Patrick was at a UConn vs BC basketball game in Chestnut Hill when he was in HS. At the time, seemed like he had really long legs LOL. A pleasant kid, who could play with great intensity.

Samson needs to play, but I was actually hoping Akok would stay. People were saying he wasn’t the same player, but I think he may have been, his chance just passed him by. When he was ready, we had moved on. I think he does really well at Georgetown. If he plays starter minutes he can average close to a double double.

 

[Huskybass]

Akok should get plenty of playing time. Georgetown is still a dumpster fire though.

 

[Husky Alien]

I agree should get much playing time there and will be very good for them. We will see what he could have been here. Rooting for him, good luck Akok.

He's also a smart young man, and will come out of this with a degree from Georgetown. Hoping for big things from him, on or off the court.

People love rooting for good former players to succeed as coaches.....and they rarely do.

Said this in another thread, I know the bar is not set very high- but I think GTown will be much more competitive this year. Seems like they made some nice additions so far.

Hopefully, Hurley gets compared with or compared to (grammarians out there?) a more successful coach.

I guess a more or less equal comparison of coaches via regular season results, would between the fired Fairleigh Dickinson coach and the last BC coach that got fired.

With the record BC has had over the last decade of more, an interesting thread on their Board who be who was the worst BC coach over the last 20 years?

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I know, I know, just tryin' to make it real.

Now, kindly provide the distinction between "different from“ and "different than." When is the latter legit? Ever?

Is this an super-subtle comment on Diggins and Gaffney?

Will Matt Garry provide the tiebreaker as to whether intra- or inter-conference transferring prevails in 2022?

I was pointing out an observation bruh, wat are you even talking about lol

He's making a comment on your grammatical error when you used inter-conference (between conferences) instead of intra-conference (within conference)

I seen that reply, I’m speaking on the diggins-Gaffney comment

Yes, that's what he was going for with that comment. That you said the inter-conference guys will be fun next season, and Diggins and Gaffney are the ones who transferred inter-conference

 

[SportsFan88]

Over my head I guess lol i appreciate you though bro

Inter-conference refers to going from one conference to another.

Intra-conference refers to transferring from one Big East team to another.

You wrote "Inter-conference," which means you either made an error, or referred to the two guys who actually did transfer inter-conference.

By coincidence, we have two each for intra-and inter-.

We had a 5th guy go I to the Transfer Portal, walk-on Matt Garry.

If Garry transfers somewhere, it will be either inter- or intra-. At that point, the current 2-2 'tie' would be broken.

I thought my way of putting things was 'softer' than the people here who write stuff like, "Hey dummy, you got it wrong." Yes, your observation registered with me, and I built on it.

So I hope that now you know what I'm talking about, whether you previously knew the difference between intra-and inter-, or not.

And if you got a laugh as well, so much the better.

I have a feeling this may help

Anyone else click into the thread thinking Akok was transferring from G-town?

 

[Tenspro2002]

OK, fine, just don't let him shoot the wing 3 and otherwise don't worry about him.
