PrintBreaking news out of Georgetown today, freshman walk-on John Caprio has decided to put his name in for the NBA Draft in June. Caprio, a 6'5" 210 pound swingman, played sparingly at Georgetown in his first year, but impressed when he was on the court. In six minutes of action spread throughout four games, Caprio averaged 0.5 points while snagging 0.3 rebounds.
The news comes as a bit of a shock to coaches, players and fans alike. With the graduation of senior guard Ryan Dougherty, Caprio's departure leaves the Hoyas with no walk-ons for scholarship players to make fun of and demolish during practices. Freshman Nate Lubick will be asked to step up as the only remaining whitey left on the squad.
Reactions to Caprio's declaration after The Jump.
Coach John Thompson III:
Sometimes walk-ons declare, sometimes they don't. We'll learn from this and get better. Players make plays.
Freshman Nate Lubick:
Really? I mean, I can't be expected to be both Tyler Hansbrough and Mark Titus all in one, somebody needs to call Stepka or get Bryon Jansen back. Oh God, now I'm the worst dancer on the team.
Jonathan Givony, Draft Express:
Who?
NBA Agent David Falk:
Looks like that money I gave Syracuse was the right choice.
With Caprio's departure, there are 9 remaining players from Georgetown's 2010-2011 squad that lost in the first "second" round to VCU. Caprio could not be reached for comment.

love the JTIII quote
he added:
I think Caprio will do great. Kid’s always been comfortable in his own skin.
"I don't know. I'm making this up as I go."
good riddance
that kid was always choking when we put the ball in his hand with the game on the line
A broken hand can't break our heart. Hoya Saxa!

TheHoopsReport Ryan Feldman
Kenneth Faried and Gary McGhee are the best big men here. Drew Goudelock and Austin Freeman are the best scoring guards.

freeman beating. 21pts leads all scorers according to the announcers.
by hoyasincebirth on Apr 1, 2011 7:17 PM EDT up reply actions
freeman finishes with a game high 21pts but his team goes down 113-108.

We had McGee or farried this year
Those guys were studs inside. Austin was solid but did not rebound or play d. Offensively I thought he was the best guy on the floor

I wish
Austin shot that well during the end of our season. Happy for him though. He looked good.

it was an all star game. No one plays defense. Besides he’s not going to get drafted for his defense. He’s going to get drafted to be a scorer off the bench.

final four?
Where is my open thread? Rooting for VCU but can’t even fathom pulling for conn or Kentucky. Guess I gotta go w/ the big east. Either way game will be vacated shortly.
