Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports made his annual pilgrimage to McDonough yesterday and thankfully for us, he tweeted about it!
Greetings from Georgetown! Here for practice. Is a return trip to the field of 68 in store for the Hoyas in 2015? pic.twitter.com/BN1SU8WaGy

Georgetown will need huge freshman years from both Isaac Copeland and L.J. Peak to reach the NCAA Tournament. Two critical, critical pieces.

JT3 told @CBSSports this freshmen class has a chance to be as good of a first-year group as he's ever assembled at Georgetown. Talented.

Georgetown sophomore Reggie Cameron told @CBSSports he is down to 218 pounds. Was 240 as a freshman. Long range sniper. 6-7.

Early prediction on Georgetown's starting five --- D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera, Jabril Trawick, L.J. Peak, Isaac Copeland, Josh Smith....

A big X-Factor for Georgetown? Who provides a lift in reserve. Aaron Bowen, Reggie Cameron, Mikael Hopkins, Paul White all in play.

JT3 stressing two major points of emphasis for Georgetown 1. Transition defense 2. Guarding the 3-point shot #gottodefendbetter

Isaac Copeland is cut from the from the same cloth as the combo forwards that preceded him at Georgetown. 6-9. High IQ. Can pass and shoot.

The biggest thing that stands out from watching Georgetown? Josh Smith's skill level. 300 plus pounds but passes and dribbles like a guard.

L.J. Peak is going to take pressure off D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera. 6-5 freshman should be an immediate offensive factor. Really gets to rim.

For the Big East to be nationally relevant next season, Georgetown has to be an NCAA team. Tough for the conference to thrive otherwise.

Check out last year's visit and tweet binge, which in hindsight was actually pretty accurate.
