Georgetown with a Top 20 recruiting grab

[RuffRuff]

Maybe Cooley needed a couple years to get it going

With Pitino seemingly retiring soon, going to need Georgetown and Nova to step up.

Georgetown is actually pretty scary because if they get it going the DMV floodgates are going to open for them recruiting wise.

So this is finally proof that we live in a simulation then right?

Agreed. Tremendous unrealized potential.

The whole Sorber situation hurt them too. Lost him for a good chunk of the year, and they didn't think he was a one and done.

What are the chances this kid actually ends up at Providence though. Gotta figure they still have as good a chance as anyone

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Love when top-talent stays in-conference.

Georgetown’s first five-star snare since Aminu Mohammed.

Georgetown would've at the very least been on the NCAA bubble with a healthy Sorber last year. His one-and-done announcement for the NBA was unexpected by Cooley.

Ed said give me until year three and nobody was willing to do so. People don't understand the mess he had to clean up off the court first. A good Georgetown will benefit everyone.

The problem is that anyone Cooley recruits still has to be coached by Ed Cooley

The guy did win the BE at PC - a feat not easy.

For whatever reason, known or unknown to me, I still find the notion of Ed Cooley doing poorly more appealing than not. My first thought was, "I hope the kid transfers after his first year...if he even shows up."

Of course, it's not me being my highest self, but it does give me something to root for, and I don't care if I turn out to be wrong. Maybe I'll be indifferent in another year or two, but it's still fun to wish that he does poorly.

We're still talking about a guy with 3 NCAA Tournament wins in his career. Can he get Georgetown to an occasional tournament, probably. But the idea of Georgetown being the team to carry the Big East along with UConn and Creighton seems like a stretch

How was nobody willing to give him until year 3 when it’s year 3 and he’s still the coach?

 

[Lafayette]

Good news for Abraham

Word in DMV HS coaching circles is that Ewing pretty much did nothing to build relationships in the area.

Cooley has been on it in that aspect. Coaches like him, and they’re ready to send their kids there if he shows he can win and get them to the NBA.

Having two guys drafted last year was a start. Probably doesn’t hurt to have Paul VI alum Abraham there if he succeeds with him. I think he started their exhibition against Kentucky too.

Cartwright!

Georgetown Costanza is a pretty decent recruit, according to the rankings, but I hear he is not as tall as listed. There's some shrinkage.

One appearance in the second weekend, one. That's shockingly bad

And PC treated him like their version of my Avatar

I didn’t have you pegged as a hater but it’s good to have you in the club. I suppose policing grammar is a great way to hate on the DL.

Well, in a sense I don’t know if we were recruiting this guy but at the end of the day we do kind of want to see the big east stay strong, I mean it’s kind of a good thing, maybe they look at it and they get a chance to play you a couple times a year that’s a plus for them, they get to play in New York City. Good them, I think we’re gonna be fine..

Gotta love Cooley for peeing the Providence punch bowl.

Gotta dis Cooley for his delusional ego.
