On the heels of Hoya Madness and BIG EAST Media Day, there has been some chatter about once-and-forever Georgetown Hoyas who are now competing at the professional level.
In particular, Austin Freeman appears to have announced his retirement earlier today and is looking to coach:
The 30-year-old Freeman was playing in Columbia for the Titanes de Barranquilla.

Otto Porter is a veteran presence on the Bulls.
Last night Otto Porter Jr. had a stat line of 16 points, 7 rebounds, & 8 assists. His play will largely contribute to the #Bulls success. Check out why he’s the most important player⬇️https://t.co/NunbufXhm3

So where does he start? Being open to teaching from Jim Boylen and his staff.
“That’s being professional, being coachable. I think that’s the biggest thing – especially with the younger guys; learning is the biggest thing you can do right now,” said Porter. “Just being coachable, being professional. That’s our job and that’s what we come here to do.”
If he can accomplish that, perhaps he can cultivate the culture which may help the Bulls live up to the goal of the playoffs set for them by team executive vice president John Paxson. Porter referenced his four runs to the playoffs in Washington as to why bringing the group together as a unit can pay off late in the season. “All the teams that we’ve been on when we’ve made the playoffs, we were in good position. We were good mentally and we had a lot of chemistry. That was the biggest thing,” said Porter.
Besides being a 3D wing, Otto Porter has phenomenal instincts as a cutter. Here Bulls run empty corner step-up in transition. Otto does a great job timing up his cut as Ingram is worried about the corner skip to LaVine. One of the best cutters in the game & good chemistry w Sato. pic.twitter.com/XClbhh1N6Q
