Evan Daniels
answered a Question for me in a Q&A about our class and targets
Evan Daniels:
Nolan – Sam Thompson is a guy that I could see popping soon. Think Florida and OSU are right there. Hood may wait it out a bit. He was at FSU this past weekend and is set to make some more visits. I think Louisville is targeting him now. Mikael Hopkins has his list at seven and is setting up visits.
here's Allenixis' question to provide some context
[Comment From NolanNolan: ]
What do you make of Georgetown’s non existent 2011 class? could Sam Thompson, Rodney Hood or Mikael Hopkins pop soon for them?
gonna be a long couple of months
and then an even longer spring

i wonder what changed his mind while at ohio st with a visit planned for the following weekend?
well that sucks. especially with us not looking too strong with hood either.
by hoyasincebirth on Sep 13, 2010 10:02 PM EDT reply actions
now at best
we’re looking at Hopkins and 2 three star kids (Ammons/Katenda/Robertson/Trawick)
and that seems like a stretch now anyway.
taking 4 kids now in this class should be completely out of the question. Having one before the early signing period would seem like a miracle.
pray for hopkins
give one to robertson
save the rest until next year
great timing for this news, coincides with my letter from jt3 asking for money

EPIC FAIL
Tyrone Johnson. FAIL! Rakeem Christmas. FAIL! Johnny O’Bryant. FAIL! Angelo Chol. FAIL! Sam Thompson. FAIL!
HOW MANY MORE RECRUITS IS GEORGETOWN GOING TO LOSE?
Is this alarmist? That depends whether you think the possibility of the Hoyas finishing LAST in the Big East in 2011 is alarming.
Casually.
need to wait to see how starks and lubick develop before ringing alarm bells for 2011
but yeah. this sucks. something anti-hoya is going on out there and jt3 and staff need to figure it out quick.
combination of cox, perceived deficiencies of offense, poor post-season play and aau hate is definitively affecting us this year.
or reaching too high with xmas, obryant, chol. monroe was a fluke. stay local.

Our best class in the last 10 years included no 4 star recruits

we could not land a single recruit in 2011 and we still wouldn’t finish last in the big east. We still have a lot of talent on this team out side of chris, austin, and julian. With a senior Clark and Sims, a junior Sanford, benimon, and thompson, and sophomores starks, lubick, bowen, and abraham we we’ll have plenty of talent. That team would still be top half of the big east.

Described as Philly-tough, great on the ball defender
He is certainly not an All-American and frankly, I’m fine with that. Less headaches with the under the radar guys.
Of course, knowing this fan base, if he signs with Georgetown, it is a waste of a scholarship and if he doesn’t, Georgetown missed out on yet another star.

but 2 - 3 players
on each team in the JTIII era ended up in the NBA. More is Macklin, Free and Wiright squeak in. Those are the guys that make a team better. I am all for depth and D, but we can’t have a class headlined by a guy whose ceiling is maybe 7th man.

Bolden visit to UVA
“Bolden took an unofficial visit to Virginia, according to his AAU coach George Burgess of Celtics South.” reported Alex Kline of Recruit Scoop. “‘I had a great time at Virginia today,’ he said. ‘They have a great staff and pretty hot facilities. I have a lot of respect for Coach Bennett & Coach Williford.’ While Virginia has not offered yet, they could deliver soon.”

gut feeling
is he’ll be a Hoya.
FSU has two shooting guards on campus this weekend and already have 2 combo guards in their class. Land one this weekend and he’s ours by default…which may be the only way we get a kid right now.
No sherpa needed at this time.....

While Smith-Rivera hasn’t been able to compete in open gyms with the rest of his teammates, he’s taken note of which schools have been in to check on him. Last month, he narrowed his choices to six: Georgetown, Indiana, Miami (Fla.), Ohio State, Wake Forest and Xavier. All but Georgetown of those schools have offered him a scholarship.
they want to offer in person? see him play? waiting on robinson? WHY? GET OUT THERE EARLY WITH PLAYERS FROM 2012
Good talk.

1) All indications are pointing to the fact that Hood won’t show up to midnight madness and will pick his school next week with out visiting Georgetown. I’m still holding out hope he decides to visit, but it’s not looking good. Usually a Midnight Madness visit is a big deal, but clearly Rodney doesn’t understand the importance of such a commitment. Shame.
2) I expect a couple other people to show up to MM that aren’t yet on the list. 2 people on the list of recent visits have been invited to come back for MM but I don’t know if either has accepted yet. or if they’ll end up coming.

two more
CelticsSouth: Brandon Bolden ‘12, a 6’10 Power Forward & Allerick Freeman ‘13, a 6’4 Guard will be attending Georgetown Midnight Madness
Bolden is solid, that is good news
Anything on whether the St. Marks kids are coming (Murphy and Tarc)?
With Hood likely out of the picture any other 2011 we are realistically after? or are they waiting until spring to see if some projects emerge – e.g. Jordan O.

What happened to Hood?
My handle used to be Jeff Green's Dad, but it was confusing and creepy, namely because I am not his dad. My new handle is JGD. I am trim and in charge.
quick rick most likely
Kirby was the only reason we were even involved.
Here is a short article on Hood and it looks like UL, FSU and Miss St are the likely destinations. And he said he would announce on the 28th, which means has made up his mind without visiting the hilltop, hard to be optomositic about that.

Bolden was one of the 2 players i had been told was invited. Glad to see he’s coming. Him and Ochefu would make the post tandem.

full list on Rivals
from my count, 14 kids for now (with hood and not counting the Canadian brothers). All in the Top 75 of their respective classes. It’s premium info over there. it’s a very impressive list.
No new additions for 2011. No reports on the St. Mark’s kids, either.

According to Parker Kentucky, West Virginia, Georgetown, Auburn, Xavier and Cincinnati are among some of the schools that have reached out to both him and Woods’ mother in an attempt to recruit Woods.

“Getting invited to Midnight Madness is a clear signal of the schools’ interest but he is far away from getting an offer from Georgetown. The season starts soon and I feel confident that Carmelo will show everyone what we already know! He’s a big time guard trapped and a small package.”
very small
It would be like bringing back a less effective version of Joey Brown. He will be around for awhile – focus on the 2012 big fish first – e.g. James Robinson.
Have we had a decent track record with Montrose guys in the past?

Pollard is intresting to me
first we’ve heard the name, coming all the way up from Mississippi. Has to be some serious mutual interest.
Kirby putting in the work.
The long lefty is trying to transition to the wing and is seeing success in the process. Pollard shot the ball well from the perimeter, ran the floor and even displayed a one dribble pull-up from 17 feet. The biggest adjustment will be on the defensive end, where he has to guard the position. Pollard tweaked his ankle prior to the top 20 game but he showed he was one of the top players at the camp.
Pollard is a long lean pogo stick who continues to improve his game. Right now his strength lies in his athleticism both around the rim and in the open floor. The lefty finishes balls around the rim both right handed and left handed with frequency leaving you feeling like he is ambidextrous. He loves to attack in transition and you see the fluidness of his game as he finishes over defenders with ease. Defensively, he has uncanny timing to block shots and quickness off the floor. He often is off the floor a second and third time before his opponent can.
29th overall on Rivals. 51st on scout.
From August
only interview I can find.

shame about robinson
hoping hopkins would help with that.
But the list is very solid. agree ochefu and/or bolden. A front court rotation of Hopkins/Ochefu/Moses/Bolden would be fantastic.

good stuff from recruit scoop on MM visitors
Dakari Johnson ’14 of New York – Georgetown – It was a good experience and good atmosphere. I got to hang out on campus, watch the activities, meet the players and meet the other recruits.
Tanveer Bhullar ’13 of Canada – Georgetown – The visit to Georgetown was great. We (my brother Sim and I) got to tour their campus and saw how new some of the buildings were and how much stuff they have in one place. Their gym was sort of old but they’re building a new facility and practice court. We met with the coaching staff and talked to them. We saw a bit of their practice, as well.
Austin Colbert ’13 of New Jersey – Georgetown – It was a great experience getting invited to a fun event. To cap it off we had a tour of the campus.

how real is this?
I thought the practice facility was dropped from the master plan last year. Facilities make a big difference – look at the Oregon Ducks who were basically the doormats of the PAC-10 until the mid 1990s when Phil Knight started pouring Nike $ into the program and practice facilities.

the perfect ending to this class. Physical, banger that Hopkins needs next to him. A class of Trawick, Hopkins and Adams would be a heck of a resurgence from the staff with the way things had been looking post Christmas/Johnson/O’Bryant/Everyone-in-America turning us down.

It is what it is
We are natural rivals because we are both good academic schools with small student populations. It makes sense that we are constantly competing for the same guys.
My handle used to be Jeff Green's Dad, but it was confusing and creepy, namely because I am not his dad. My new handle is JGD. I am trim and in charge.
I say turn about is fair play
Duke actively recruited Lubick and Hollis while committed to us. Plus they just convinced Austin rivers to back out of his commitment to Florida and verbal to Duke. Coach K does this all the time. It’s about time he got a taste of his own medicine.
Suck it Coach K

Have not figured out how to post tweets – but this guy (the local fox affiliate sports anchor in Jackson, MS) tweeted on Tuesday that he spoke with Admas who said its Duke and Gtown and will annouce before early signing.
