Georgetown’s Qudus Wahab in transfer portal

[Icehawk]

I think he got tired of hearing Ewing yelling "rebound REBOUND!" on every play even when they were in mid-rebound...

 

[Kenny11]

Do people know something that I don’t? Or are fans just worried because of the nature of the transfer portal?

I keep seeing some really cryptic tweets about UConn losing people and i’m just confused. I hope it’s just concern and not any insider info that I am missing out on.

No. Well at least I don’t know of any rumors but I’m just saying it’s possible considering how crazy and difficult this last season was for everyone and the fact that nobody would have to sit.

Agreed. I said in an earlier post that player retention is going to be more important now than ever

You could make an NIT team out of the players who've transferred out/decommitted out of Georgetown in the last two seasons.

PF - Josh LeBlanc, 6'7 230 JR, 3.2p, 4.4r, LSU
F - Antwan Walker, 6'7 230 JR, 9.1p, 6.5r, URI
C - Qudas Wahab 6'11 237 SO - 12.7p, 8.2r, 1.6b
SG - Mac McClung, 6'2 185 JR - 15.5p, Texas Tech
PG - James Akinjo 6'1 185 JR - 15.6p, 5.4a, 40.8 3p%, Arizona

Bench:
F - Terrence Williams, 6'7 240 FR, 2.0p, 2.3r, Michigan
F - Galen Alexander, 6'6 220 SR, 9.5p, 4.7r, Texas Southern
G - Myron Gardner, 6'6 220 SO, 14.4p, 7.7r, 40.2 3p%, South Plains CC
C - Grayson Carter, 6'10 225 SO, 3.4p, UT-Arlington

Yeah I was going to say, these kids are going to drive Ewing back to the NBA. These are all his recruits, correct?

Yes. The list is missing Chris Sodom, a 7’3 C currently at Delaware State. Marcus Derrickson and, I believe, Yurtseven both gave up a year of eligibility, but at least they’re both making money.

Ewing’s two primary failures are

1) roster management- taking three Centers in a single class, recruiting two guys who couldn’t play together/coach couldn’t present a vision for the two of them to do so, and another couple bad character kids.

2) inability to implement defenses to fit his roster. Our man d looks like zone when it comes to defending the three, so why not play a pack line or zone where at least Wahab wouldn’t have to guard the perimeter.

Georgetown went from Euphoria to agony in one week. Amazing. We are so lucky, imagine AJax just deciding to transfer. We complain about a lot but Hurley really has this thing stable in an era of complete unsability

Is it unstability or instability? I always thought it was the latter.

Anyway, Wahab was a hell of a player and seemed to get plenty of playing time. It truly sucks that Georgetown and the conference has lost him. You would think at all time great NBA center like Patrick Ewing would be a great mentor for a young Center with so much talent.

Gardner at 6-6 and 40% from 3 seems intriguing.

 

[Huskybass]

This looks very fishy, like a fedex envelop full of hundred dollar bills fishy.

I have been clear from the start that the no-sit transfer rule will result in massive corruption, and I am being proven right.

I see Wahab going to one of the Power 5 football schools that are still playing basketball. Alabama , Oregon, UCLA. Lew Perkins was right when he pushed the clueless UConn elite to get us into top level football.

You sir are correct, and to think I teach kindergarteners

Georgetown was ranked #23 of all universities last year. He's not going to the Ivy League. Duke, Northwestern, Stanford, Vandy I guess would be considered upgrades. Strange move.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

not a fan of wahabs game, ergo, he'll prolly end up in 'the feet stuck in the mud' conference.
purrrrfect.

I suspect he’s not there for the academic ranking. You’d think, however, as a big man learning under Ewing you couldn’t do much better.

Feel right in the classroom on the BY do ya!

 

[Dean Wormer]

Yeah as for that "point" I think it's pretty absurd, to be honest, so I don't think it merits much discussion. Blaming Lebron for the rash of transfers is pretty silly. Kids are transferring because they can. Ewing has had a disproportionate number of kids leave - far more than most programs - I'd be more inclined to believe that's due to something going on at Georgetown rather than Lebron's fault.

(Also, for the sake of accuracy, he dragged a pretty terrible Cavs team to the NBA finals when he was younger than Isaiah Whaley is now - his second best player was Larry Hughes or Zydruna Ilgauskas - so the idea that he cut and ran at the first opportunity is a bit off.)

I hear you, but i consider this more of my grumpy old man “get-off-my-lawn” perspective. LBJ has earned my respect, no way he could not since he’s this generations best player. But I still think he was soft for that move to Miami. JMO

I’m working on that. It’s actually getting better. Baby steps.

You’re okay, Dean Wormer. You need a new handle.

[aburks41]

Hope this doesn’t influence Locke to go there too.. Maryland will be a top 25 preseason team with Wahab

 

[JimCtheGOAT]

Im sure Maryland will be running their entire offense thru him and he can expect 30 dump downs a game. Plus we all know Mark Turgeon is one of the greatest big men of all time.

Great Move!

 

[rollskies]

Really wish he stayed at GTown for the sake of the conference, but should be a good move for him. They are a small team.

 

[rollskies]

Whose next??

Edit: Based on what i’ve read on twitter, it seems like a lot of people are expecting Fatts to commit to Maryland today.
