James Akinjo Leaving Georgetown

[gwhuskyfan]

Interesting...

 

[andy34]

Whoah. 3 losses already for the Hoyas, season could go downhill quickly.

 

[UconnPT2007]

Some chatter that he was booted off the team.
Leblanc has left the team, too.

 

[Exit 4]

casual fan here....not sure this is a good thing...you dont want BE teams to be irrelevant.

He was Big East Freshman of the Year, and was playing over 30 minutes per game this season. Something is up that caused this abrupt departure.

 

[AntG168]

In the middle of the season? Wow. Should’ve just stuck with Hurley

 

[Cuse Socks]

I'd take him back

 

[CL82]

I'd take him back

I don't know. Would it piss off Jackson to be recruited over?

In the middle of the season? Wow. Should’ve just stuck with Hurley

And depending on the reason, maybe thankfully for us, he didn't!

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Wow. That’s big to lose two players mid season. Wonder what happened?

 

[AntG168]

Jackson? Jackson is a wing. Akinjo is a PG. I’d bring him in, have him sit all next season. He can be our Guard for 2021. Unless there are better options out there. That’s a call for Danny to make. But why he’s transferring matters here. We don’t need any problems or reclamation projects in this program right now

I'm guessing you've never seen Jackson or Akinjo play.

 

[UconnU]

AND LEBLANC!? WOW!

 

[AntG168]

Leblanc may be worth looking into too. He’s a athletic hustle guy. I’m not sure he’s worth it, but I’m sure Coach Hurley will do his due diligence

 

[MattMang23]

Wowwwww. Good luck to him.

 

[Cuse Socks]

I don't know. Would it piss off Jackson to be recruited over?

If anything it would piss off Cole or Gaffney. I'd rather have another pure shooter next year than a point guard, but Akinjo has talent

Got it. That makes sense. I was thinking he was a PG since there was so much talk about his lack of jump shot.

Remember, we are going to the Big East next year. There is no way Georgetown is letting either of these guys play in the BE.

 

[Dooooooomed]

WOW!

Good Point. Unless of course they transfer to us while we’re in the AAC lol

 

[navery12]

Something seems very off here. Curious what comes out about them leaving

 

[youseethat]

With no knowledge of the situation, Akinjo would fit an immediate need as a play making ball handler.

Depth, and more importantly skill, would be insane next year:

G: Cole, Bouk, Adams, Gaff, Akinjo (available 2nd half of season?)

F: Akok, Jackson, Sid, Polley, Springs, Whaley

C: Javonte Brown Ferguson, Carlton

(of course assuming everyone returns)

Well we’re technically not in the Big East until the July or August 2020 so he could definitely commit before then and there would be nothing Georgetown could do about it. Especially since he is no longer on the team

Not interested in transfers but are we considered in the Big East for transfer purposes yet?
