The Georgetown Hoyas will be adding 6’3” Arizona State-transfer Jay Heath to the 2022-23 roster. Heath is from Washington, DC by way of Boston College and Arizona State.

Heath started 17 of 28 games for the Sun Devils and scored 10.6 ppg in 28.4 mpg. Heath made 46 out of 107 three point attempts last year (43%) and shoots about 38% through all three years of his college career.

The current 2022-23 roster is expected to look like this right now:

• 5 Timothy Ighoefe 7-0 250 C Sr. Lagos, Nigeria / NBA Academy Africa
• 31 Wayne Bristol Jr. 6-6 205 G Sr. Upper Marlboro, Md. / St. Thomas More School (Conn.) Howard

Of course, Collin Holloway (or even Jalin Billngsley or Timothy Ighoefe) could potentially return from the portal. Likewise, Don Carey has the options of going pro, transferring, or returning for another year. The fate of Aminu Mohammed is still undecided as he remains committed to the NBA Draft process.
