It's official, Georgetown has formally announced the transfer of sophomore Omar Wattad.  As previously mentioned, Wattad averaged 2.6pts and 11mins per game and shot 29% from behind the arc last season. According to StatSheet.com, OW contributed 3% of the team's total points and 5.6% of the team's total fouls.

This marks the 9th transfer from Georgetown under JT3, and the 3rd in the last two years.  Details of where Wattad intends to enroll next year have not been disclosed.  Omar joins an exclusive list of players who have also left the program under Thompson the Third.

Matt Causey - 2004 - North Georgia
Ray Reed - 2005 - CS-Fullerton
Cornelio Guibunda - 2005 - American
Josh Thornton - 2006 - Towson
Marc Egerson - 2007 - Delaware
Octavious Spann - 2007 - Marshall
Vernon Macklin - 2008 - Florida
Jeremiah Rivers - 2008 - Indiana

Have yet to confirm the rumor but apparently when the 10th transfer occurs, JT3 will receive a ceremonial high five from AD Bernard Muir.

Good talk.

Oh man

Interesting

The Hoya Blog did an interesting comparison of what JT3 said about each transfer.

We have heard rumors that maybe this was a forced transfer more so than a voluntary one.

Good talk.

Dont speculate to much

This could be a practice attitude not taking things seriously, or this could be a grades issue, who knows.

Saluki

Omar will definitely get back to playing the way he’s used to playing and living the way he’s used to living at Southern Illinois.

Definitely.

Casually.
