Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports made his annual pilgrimage to McDonough this afternoon, and shockingly he tweeted about it!
Greetings from the Hilltop. Here for Georgetown practice. Hoyas should be Villanova's top challenger in the Big East. pic.twitter.com/r3L7rYhVm0

Georgetown looks like a Top-15 team. Hoyas have experience (DSR), length, and a low post scorer (Govan). The big question: bench play.

Isaac Copeland should be on everybody's breakout list for next season. Showed flashes as a freshman. Should flourish as a sophomore.
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) July 21, 2015
Early prediction on Georgetown's starting five: D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera, L.J. Peak, Paul White, Isaac Copeland, Jessie Govan.

Palpable buzz at Georgetown surrounding freshman big man Jessie Govan. Will start from day one at center. Should be a 10 and 7 guy.
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) July 21, 2015
A potential issue for Georgetown early: Hoyas have minimal front court depth until Akoy Agau is eligible in December. Thin on baseline.

Marcus Derrickson is going to be a factor for Georgetown as a freshman. Can play multiple positions at 6-7. Needs to refine his body.
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) July 21, 2015
Tre Campbell nugget: played 453 minutes for Georgetown last season as a freshman and only committed 10 turnovers. Like a security blanket.

The sleeper in Georgetown's freshman class is Kaleb Johnson. 6-6 lefty has a college ready body and knows how to probe a defense.
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) July 21, 2015
Will be interesting to see Georgetown fares in November and December. Hoyas visit Maryland, host Syracuse, and play in 2K Sports Classic.

Check out last year's visit and tweet binge, which in hindsight was actually pretty accurate.
Now that his annual Tour de Hoyas is complete, you can now safely return to expecting the usual daily inspirational tweets from Rothstein, including but not limited to, the below:

"The dogs bark, but the caravan marches on." - anonymous

Not sure what is worse. His tweeting the above or the fact that there are those out there that actually retweet them.
Thoughts on Rothstein's observations?
