Again, just to jump in, he is the only Georgetown freshman that would be getting minutes next year and we are losing 3 of the 4 players that play in the front court next year. With Ewing playing favoring a 9-10 man rotation, there will be plenty of playing time for him next year and will likely be starting by year 2.

Ewing is hoarding centers. It's really strange.

Actually its probably a good strategy. They have a history of producing bigs. If he can get a bunch of bigs and one of them comes out and turns into a decent pro, it helps him get more and better bigs in the future.
 
Oh well. Looks like GT's roster is looking good for the next 2/3 years with Akinjo/McClung/Wahab and the other 2 commits for next year in the front court.

So people can't criticize the kid for signing up to compete with three (or is it four) other guys at his position? Excuse us Mr. Superfan. BTW, great players don't often make great coaches and great coaches rarely make great GMs. The opposite is also true.

Knock yourself out. I doubt Wahab cares too much about his playing time prospects from the eyes of jaded UConn fans.

Positionless basketball. Why not play 5 centers? Am I right?


Wish Wahab well but he's dead to me now.

You really need to learn how to handle it when recruits commit to schools other than UConn. It will continue to happen for many years to come. Dealing with adversity is a very important life skill that will help you beyond sports fandom.

While I understand that landing a good big man is as difficult as a mission to Mars, what are our chances of getting at least a decent Carlton level player to go with him for next year?

I'd take Tre Mitchell and Chol Marial in a second, but Precious should be #1 priority..not sure on our chances

When was the last time we landed a big man? (Besides Brimah)

Centers? Since Hasheem it's basically been Brimah, the guy who was transitioning, Enoch, and Josh.

The weird anti-JUCO shtick you’ve got going is just that...weird. Like that time you made some pretty uncool and unsubstantiated insinuations about Kwintin’s character being the reason he went the JUCO route. Funky all around.

As others have noted, Hurley’s recent activity and history at Wagner/URI indicates that he isn’t buying what you’re selling.

Sorry I hurt your feelings.

My point is that JUCO kids are JUCO kids for a reason and 9/10 times it’s not a good one. Doesn’t mean it can’t happen, but most of the time it doesn’t. It’s a bad bet and not a basket I’d want to put eggs into unless I absolutely had to.

If that wasn’t true, they’d be at 4-years already.


Second reason is the level of play is wildly all over the place. In baseball you’ll get Chris Davis and Albert Pujols at 1B and then Joe who’s part time at the post office as your Sunday starter tossing 72. In hoops, the skill gap is even more inconsistent. It’s harder to get a handle on true talent.

Truth be told I’d rather look at almost any other possible route before depending on JUCO for anything.

This kind of overgeneralization and hyperbole when it comes to scouting players perfectly illustrates why you are not running a college basketball program.
 
Wahab.....ehhh I prefer top 100 recruits. Enjoy your college experience and so long QW.

We don't have any top 100 centers and likely won't get one for 2019-20.

Maybe he only wanted a few minutes.
