McClung Transferring | The Boneyard

McClung Transferring

I like Patrick and think he’s a good guy. Quite frankly, there are some holes in the Georgetown boat. I hope he gets the holes filled and returns to glory.

Wow. This kinda seals the deal for Georgetown being one of the worst teams in the Big East along with DePaul and St. John's.

Two things.
1) Whisper out there is that MacLung will transfer to V-tech.
2) St. John’s will be a tough team next year, and not just because I’m a fan . Very deep and LJ Figueroa likely returning for senior year. Added 5 talented kids to a team that beat WVU, Creighton, Arizona last year and only narrowly lost a few with a new coach. Mike Anderson is not like prior SJU coaches.
 
Ewing was always passed over for head coaching gigs by teams in the NBA - the mess at GTown shows they were right. If not for the uncertainty with the pandemic I would think he’d be canned quickly but he’ll last prob till halfway through next season.

I understand that sentiment ... but I think it's much different running an NBA team than an entire college program. I actually think he'd have been better in that spot in the NBA, always have.

In fairness, Patrick was pretty close to landing a job in 2016 following the Hornets “successful” season. I know Coach Steve Clifford thought there was a good chance Pat would get a job and was propping him up for one. Things haven’t gone well of late at GTown, and maybe I’m in the minority, but I want them to be good. I want Patrick to turn it around, I’m pulling for him.

Now back to Mac. I wish him well, tough go at it this past season playing so undermanned. Mac to this day has one of the best high school mixtapes out there, kid is electric. Just needs to land with a coach who can really coach him up, I think he’s still got a lot of potential.

My god.

This is a flashback.

Hey, there.
 
Nobody but Ewing and McClung knows the story
I have and will always be a member of Pat Ewing's camp - the guy was an outstanding player without being a jerk while opponents tried to bring the worst out of him
I know someone who is a close good friend with him in Boston and got to meet and interact with him a few times in a relaxed atmosphere during his very early pro years - very unassuming and he loved to blend in with the crowd (hard to do as a 7 footer).
As far as a coach - most guys in the pros who played while he was an assistant have high praise for him.
I look at the job he did this past season when 1/2 his team was facing disciplinary and academic issues that forced him to play with a skeletal roster - I was impressed as were most basketball people.
