Johnny O'Bryant "Trims" List - Georgetown, Kentucky, and Kansas Knocked Off

PrintClass of 2011 PF Johnny O'Bryant has trimmed changed his list of schools, according to Rivals. O'Bryant, who was previously quoted as considering Georgetown, Mississippi, Mississippi State, LSU, Georgia Tech, Kansas and Kentucky, is now listing Maryland, Miami, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, Alabama and LSU as possible suitors.
Yes, O'Bryant trimmed three schools from his list - Georgetown, Kentucky and Kansas, and added three more - Maryland, Alabama and Miami. Don't understand the logic, but then again, I'm not a 17-year old basketball star.
As a Georgetown fan, this is certainly disappointing but not surprising. O'Bryant was a long-shot to begin with and will likely end up being a one-and-done player. We all hoped new assistant coach Robert Kirby's Mississippi ties could get us into the party but looks like it was not enough.
On the bright side, O'Bryant added two schools, Maryland and Miami, that are also pursuing local big man Mikael Hopkins, who Georgetown has extended an offer to as well.
UPDATE: In a world where news travels in 140 characters or less, who would ever have thought there would be conflicting reports?
- 5:00pm - KYSportsRadio is reporting that O'Bryant did indeed trim his list to four, but doesn't report which schools O'Bryant selected.
- 6:00pm - TheRecruitScoop reports that O'Bryant's list included Georgetown.
- 6:05pm TheRecruitScoop is now confirming his list does not include Georgetown.

have any of us actually seen the actual rivals article, because kysports radio says he cut his list to 4 not 7. Anyone know who those 4 are?

According to O’Bryant’s high school coach Leroy Cotton of Cleveland (Miss.) East Side High School, Maryland, Miami, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, Alabama and LSU are the last schools standing in his recruitment.
Good talk.

Frankly it doesn't really matter if we made this cut.
Cause it’s going to come down to ole miss and LSU.
Where there is recruiting smoke
there must be a fire. Can’t wait for a class that consists of the 2011 version of Benimon and Wattad.
Hood is solid if we could land him and Chol or Hopkins. Plus the 7’2" project.
PS – Lenosis please build us a new practice court on top of the verizon center. And lets think of a new branding name for the princeton office. Just as Colbert suggested Kentucky start calling itself “Land Hawaii”, lets rename the Princeton Offence to “Seven Seconds or Less*” or maybe “Organized Chuck and Run.”
- - Plus about 20 seconds.
this gtown alum just built a practice facility....
FOR BRADLEY
Basketball practice floor named in honor of former Bradley great
select source says he will be writing a big check to gtown in near future however. not sure if it will be for the damn practice facility.
if we dont get this thing built in 5 years, i bet jt3 bolts. it was part of the reason he came to the hilltop in the first place.
it doesnt cost that much (speaking from the perspective of a multi-millionaire, which i am not, yet)
carmelo gave $3m over six years for the naming rights of a $19m facility. just need one donor or gtown bball alum to stroke the lead check and the money should come pouring in.
Good talk.

I am willing to auction off 1 Casual Headband and donate proceeds to new practice facility
Opening bid at $3.
Casually.
I smell a contest.
Rebrand the Princeton Offense.
Seriously, let’s get one up there, management.
Why so Syracuse?
