As previously reported, Aaron Bowen, a 6'5'' wing out of Jacksonville, Florida, has given a verbal commitment to play for Georgetown next year. NBE Basketball reports:
QEA [Quality Education Academy] head coach Isaac Pitts, Jr. confirmed Bowen's commitment to the Hoyas via e-mail as well this afternoon, mentioning that Bowen will bring the Hoyas "scoring, athleticism [and] pure shooting" next season.
Pitts told NBE last week that Bowen averaged 17.5 points a game along with 6 rebounds and 4 assists, but his biggest improvements since arriving at QEA came on the defensive side of the floor.
"[He] has learned to become a better defender and he competes every play," said Pitts.

Big man recruit Rakeem Christmas has narrowed his list of schools to five. Amira Hamid, Christmas' aunt and legal guardian stated:
"Since our last announcement, certain schools have made a valiant effort regarding Rakeem's recruitment. Stronger bonds have been established with a few programs and their staff. Our current list reflects that. Once we know it's right for Rakeem and once he feels 100% confident about the situation, everyone else will know. This process has been lengthy but we are in no rush to meet a timeline. We're pleased with the current schools we are considering and looking forward to watching them play this season."
Christmas is currently considering Florida International, Florida, Georgetown, Oklahoma and Texas. Dropped from his previous list are Baylor, Indiana, Ohio State and Villanova. Isiah Thomas and his Florida International program entered the mix during the past three months.

No Mo' Mo Walker - Sad Day for All

Remember Maurice Walker? The center that tugged at the hearts of every Georgetown fan? The big, bad bruiser we desperately wanted to see don the Blue and Gray uniform? Well unfortunately for the Hoya Faithful, Jeremy Meyer is reporting that the new Big-man U, Pittsburgh, is the most likely destination for the 6'9'' big man out of Canada. It is interesting to note that Rivals does not even have Georgetown listed as a potential destination, and that it is a race between Pittsburgh, Seton Hall, St. John's, and Texas A&M.
Couple of things you can potentially (and probably incorrectly) assume from this news:
- Georgetown never offered Walker
- Georgetown focused its attention on Rakeem Christmas and Jordan Omogbehin
- Greg Monroe told JT3 that he plans not only to stay through his junior year, but will also enter the Society of Jesus after graduation in an attempt to stay at Georgetown FOREVER
On the bright side - Meyer is also reporting that Georgetown is one of three programs listed as finalists for Tony Mitchell, a 6'6'' slasher out of Texas. Mitchell is ranked as the 3rd best SF and 15th best player in the Class of 2010. Other schools in the mix are Missouri and North Texas. Yes, North Texas. I didn't think it was possible to come up with another school with Texas in its name.
Good talk.
