Georgetown Recruiting - Visits, Rosters & Open Scholarships - OLD

So with all the talent that we have coming in does anbody forsee us still playing 6 man ball?

We take him over everyone. A lot of experts from Coach Hurley, Adam Zagoria, and Nolan Shulman all say he is perfect for our system. He has played PG for Playaz and according to him that’s what he wants to play in college. Kid puts up numbers across the board, and is capable of getting a triple double on any night. Typical night for Kyle 14points 10boards 7 assists, a stat sheet stuffer in the words of my man Clark Kellog. More, and maybe most importantly, after watching him for about 2 minutes in a live situation you will just realize “he gets it”. He thinks the game faster than most people see it, is a cerebral player and understands what he needs to do to get the W…

He is a solid defender and has held players like Gilchrest, and Austin Rivers in check. To me he is priority number one, but as we all now we don’t pick the kids, the kids choose us. All three are talented and would be welcome additions

My issue with GTown has been with the lack of depth coming off the bench!!! JT3 needs to play everybody in order to keep the harmony as well as keeping the opponents guessing.
I know this guys doesn’t sound like much but I’m going to throw his name out there one more time and then I’ll leave it alone. I’m only looking at what he could bring to the table as far as ball handling, 3 point shooting, and only for the 2011 season. Trinson White is a 6-4 175lbs SG, with promise, he doesn’t rate high on the ESPN 2011 prospects but neither did Jeff Green.

I know we all know Porter committed to us since his visit and Ochefu to Nova, but I think you should list them so everybody’s on the same page.

From Dave Telep at ESPN:

“Seton Hall does the best job at recruiting me,” Anderson said. “It’s short phone calls and (timely) when they come see me. Them and Georgetown do a great job. I speak to Coach [John] Thompson for three minutes and that’s it. Little things like that make it better.”

UCLA, Florida, St. John’s, Arizona and Xavier are also coming strong for Anderson. After reading this, they’d be wise to save minutes on their cell plans and more importantly, Anderson’s time on the phone. However, we’re particularly interested in seeing how schools handle him because of his unique abilities as a passer with size and vision. Would he pick a place that has an established point guard?

From Rivals EYBL Dallas

Brandon Bolden (2012, Team Florida)- A promising prospect, Bolden is the prototypical wiry, long, athletic four-man with a developing skill game. If he applies himself in the weight room and is serious about his skill development, he will have a successful career at Georgetown.

and Osama Bin Laden is dead.. wow

Tony Parker (2012, Georgia Stars)- Parker is playing an aggressive brand of basketball as a scorer and rebounder. When he is focused and in attack mode, he is a productive and reliable big man. Since his game isn’t based on athleticism, Parker is best when he brings a physical and grinding mentality to the court.

D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera (2012, Spiece)- Smith-Rivera continues to impress. He moves seamlessly between both guard positions, and has a fearlessness to his game. His command of the game and his physical attributes indicate that he will be playing productive basketball for years to come.

A.J. Hammons (2012, Spiece)- Hammonds has typically been that big guy that left you wanting more out of him. It looks like this is becoming less the case with him. He does need to play tougher on a consistent basis, but Hammonds now looks more comfortable asserting himself on the court and is becoming more productive. With his size and mobility, he has a high ceiling.

Brandon Bolden Not Ranked

From where he came from last summer to now, and the fact that he’s prep’n this year, you just get the feeling that 1) Scouts really haven’t seen him and 2) He will be a rated higher at the end of the year based on the fact that there are not a lot of elite PG’s in the 2012 field

Supposedly we have offered… kid can shoot his arse off

It reminds me of a story I was told about current Georgetown guard Markel Starks’ recruiting process. Starks was very highly recruited out of Georgetown Preparatory School, and one night he was attending a function with his coach where he spotted the head coach of one of the programs that was most aggressively recruiting him.

His coach said, "Go up and introduce yourself and say hello."

So he did. When he came back to his coach, he said, "That guy had no idea who I was." And, in that moment, Starks, who knew that John Thompson III knew very well who he was, had his mind made up about where he was going to school.

His team lost to a bunch of St. Johns guys by 4…Bril had 14
Also playing in the Brotherly Love Game in Philly today for West Philly vs South Philly
From Twitter:
Mike Goldstein “This has turned into to the Jabril Trawick show #BBL”

and from Keith Pompey who covers the Owls for the Philadelphia Inquirer

“A Nike grassroots official just told me Trawick reminds him of Keith Bogans.”

At 6-4 and 210 lbs he’s got great size for the PG postion. Although I haven’t seen much on this kid on You Tube, he sounds like a another Jabril Trawick.

Several things are at play here, one Brian Oliver hails from Oak Hill Academy and two he is a Cuse killer. Looking at his bio he is a hell of a three point shooter, dropping 99 3’s in his two year career at GT, 32 of those points were against the orange. This is a little risky for the furture, but the recruiters seem to know what they are doing, (I hope)!!!!

Does anybody have any good transfers at the PG that might be a good fit for GTown. This is silly season………….

Will we need him in 2012?

Does anyone have anything on him or is he JT3 new top secret weapon!!

http://twitter.com/#!/Dvauntes44/status/105750433955450880

Is coach Brennon back from China yet, I been trying to reach him..

Had to break out my note-pad and look at all the possibilities that GTown has between the 3,4,and 5 position. With the addition of Kyle Anderson (crossing my fingers), I’m hoping that the speculation of other players joining him comes true. I would like to see another beefy PF come our way, maybe Tony Parker. But with that said, how many scholarships will be available for 2012, and lets not forgett that this will probably be Hollis last year.

What happen with Tony Parker????

Bet that Upshaw (instead of T. Parker), DSR, Pollard (thru our Miss connex) and Bolden are Hoya Frosh next year. Not a bad class.

Is this a home or on campus visit for DSR and are we rolling out the red carpet for him? Not much has been said about this kid, it would seem after KA went west everyone has lost hope!

I haven’t looked deep into the 2013 recruits at the PG position but I feel it maybe time to start!!! There’s Anthony Barber, Andrew Harrison, Nate Britt, & Tyler Ennis, all of them look to be potential Hoyas.

I had a dream that Tony Parker and Nerlens Noel played on the Hilltop………..OMG…….we regained our Hoya paranoia and sweep through the Big East Tourn on to the NCAA championship!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qggE9Xaw6n8

Nerlens Noel is going to Syracuse’s MM. but still says he plans on visiting DC soon. take that for what it’s worth

Bolden- Upshaw-DSR- maybe Pollard in the spring.

Had alot of fun at Georgetown! Kicked it with my brovas @John_Wall & @JT55iVe all last night! Gtown opened my eyes!

T_warren32 TJ Warren
Great morning with my family & the whole Georgetown coaching staff!

Is there a limit, per the NCAA, of visits that a university can partake in and if so are we at our limit?

White > Upshaw

Don’t blow it by making him feel he is not your first priority, call the kid up and tell him he is your priority and you want him to be the next star for cardinals
 
When you look at Upshaw’s list most of the schools are california ones anyway, seems like the kid wants to stay home – so don’t blow it with White!!

Upshaw’s final list is

UofL, Georgetown, Kansas St, and Fresno St. So not really west coast heavy. Plus I’d like to have a player we can refer to as Bob Upshaw. Sounds like an accountant. Boom already got a nickname for him!

I bleed red and black. I poop blue.

I thought I saw another Cali or Nevada school in there

But I still feel like White is the best option because we will have Gorgui for 4 years I think and he is really not an upgrade over Prive IMO, seems clumsy a little
 
However, we lose 2 guards/wings in Kuric and Smith plus Wayne might be gone after 2 seasons and I definitely think White is an upgrade over Nunez

I too would prefer White over Upshaw.

Upshaw does look a bit uncoordinated, and I don’t see him being better than Gorgui or much better than Price. But alas, both are top-50 guys and I would be pleased to have either; and by the way, I think Nunez has a great future here

-Willie Cauley wants to stay at home in Kansas and is rated higher then Upshaw according to ESPN, Kansas State also has no commitments for 2012 to entice a strong recruit class
-Louisville only has one scholarship lift and apparently really dont want Upshaw or at least not the fan base
-Fresno State is home for Upshaw but they currently have no commitments like Kansas State to entice a strong 2012 recruit class
I hope I’m right!!!!!

Not worried but I guess K State could still be in the hunt, since Willie Cauley went to Kentucky. I still think Louisville is really looking for a SG instead of a center. I hope he qualifies academically!!!!!!!!

he says last he heard warren was leaning towards NC st

We have Jabril, DSR, Aaron, and Greg that can play the 2.

I like Upshaw’s size but worried about his athleticism, we need a big man all the other positions are good!!!

Does Andrew White have a visit date set up?

Jordan Dickson not highly rated but a work in progress, does anybody know this kid?

Saw him play many times. Sat behind Kamari Murphy the last 2 years at Lincoln HS in Brooklyn. Can barely walk and chew gum simultaneously. Major project. Kamari Murphy killed your boy Daniel Ochefu at the Daily News Classic in the summer of 2011 BTW.

If my source is correct, Louisville is out of schalrships as of today when they picked up PG Terry Rozier,(unless they pull a UConn). I hope I’m right, this would put us in the lead for White and Upshaw!!

K State just signed Laimonas Chatkevicius from Lithuania. He is currently going to school in kansas, in one report he’s 6-10 230lbs and in another he’s a 7 footer. The options are getting slim in Upshaw’s top four. I hope this is good for the home team!!!

Jarnell Stokes and Shaq Goodwin couldn’t even get shots off vs. Nerlens this summer. let’s wait a year and bring in Nerlens and Troy Williams. Then we got a shot at the Final 4 in 2014 !

Maybe Sims game today will lure Upshaw to the hilltop, seeing how the offense can run through the center postion. Maybe this was what he was wanting to see prior to signing.

I would have to guess that one or two scholarships remain. Secondly, K State picked up Adrian Diaz last year, he’s another 6-11 220lbs center.

Not that I’ve seen.

But I heard one of our problems right now is scholarships, as in, we don’t have many. I’d have to look at a roster, but we’re young. The other thing that’s out there is if you’re coming to KState, you better produce and quickly or you’ll be transferring. So when a kid looks at KSU and they aren’t a five star one and done they take that into consideration. And Frankly, if they are a one and done they would much rather go somewhere they can get their balls suckeled than go somewhere they’re going to have to work their ass off. It’s not like we have a rep of making any one position infinitely better. So it’s not like the best bigs or points or shooters are climbing over each other to be here.
 
God that sounded depressing. All that to say, when we do get a kid we know that he’s willing to put the time in to be a better player, and person. I’m ok with that. As long as we keep putting up respectable seasons.

When life hands you lemons, make grape juice. Let them wonder how the F*ck you did it.

Yeah, i think we only have 1 scholly to give.

We are after…
 
Robert Upshaw Would definitely be happy with him. Cauley beat him head to head this year per Bossi, fwiw.
 
Demetrius Henry Pretty decent offer list.
 
Laimonas Chatkevicius Call him Moose because it’s easier. He is ours if we want him according to the last GPC update. He may reclassify to 2013 as well.

In scoring after first 7 games 19ppg

He’s leading a stacked OHA squad in scoring averaging around 20 a game..

The reason being evaluators do not think he has much upside. Average athleticism and size for position etc… Who cares though! You will not find one person that doesn’t believe he is going to be a very good college guard, and probably a four year guy and 3 year starter for most high level programs.. He will most likely be the best pure scorer on our team as soon as he steps on campus..

Is the rumor… nothing official yet

Georgetown not mentioned amongst any of the schools, have we changed direction or been deleted from the line up?

Are we going to get our pg after all!? http://youtu.be/4DUMIcjlfkU

That BC and the Terps are two of the worst power conference BCS teams in the country ? Just plan baddd…..awful !

Great game. Our boys lost, but this is a good young team ! Bright future. Needed to get the ball to Hollywood more in the 2nd 1/2, but overall a great showing. This is a tournament team.

We made the final cut of 9 possibles. Probably more like 7 with NC State having; (Purvis, Warren, and Lewis), also Louisville is out of schalorships. http://www.nbc12.com/story/16115440/spiders-among-final-cut-for-top-recruit-white
