Anglin announcing Wednesday

[TheChamps990411]

We successfully recruited Akinjo under different circumstances, lost him to Georgetown, and he went on to Arizona, and now Baylor.

We lost to Georgetown in recruiting Qudus Wahab, and he'll be at Maryland next season.

And now we more or less lost Denver Anglin to Georgetown. His mixtape excited many including me, and his Peach Jam performance confirmed the coaching staff's good early eye.

Not devastated.

I really thought Gtown was going to really take a leap forward this season until Wahab left. The program has a bright future but his leaving set their timetable back a bit.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Regardless of the decision, I respect the kid for not making a big show out of this. I get that kids like the attention and want to do their list of 10, list of 5, etc. It's all about marketing yourself and the dog and pony show is part of it. But there's something that I respect about just taking your visits, keeping it close to the vest, and just saying "this is my decision" once he's made up his mind.

With his offers from Ivies, I’m biased to expect a kid like that has a good head on his shoulders and isn’t as prone to the egotism that recruiting can bring. Just from personal experience, my HS classmates who ended up at Ivy schools tended to be very modest about their college choices while the kids who went to other private schools had a higher likelihood to be the nauseating type.

Regardless, it’s always great to see talent sign in the Big East and I’ve enjoyed seeing the steady improvement of Georgetown over these last 2/3 years.
