It's time to review Georgetown
Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2023 11:33 pm
Yikes. Georgetown just completely gave up in these last 3 games. A 20 point loss to Providence. A 40 (yes, FORTY) point loss to Creighton. Then a 32 point loss to Villanova. A fitting end to another sad season in DC. Now let's review
OUT:
*Bryson Mozone
*Jordan Riley (portal to Temple)
*Primo Spears (portal to Florida State)
*Brandon Murray (portal to Ole Miss)
*Bradley Ezewiro (portal to St Louis)
*Qudus Wahab (portal to Penn State)
*Akok Akok (portal to West Virginia)
STAY:
*Jay Heath
*Wayne Bristol
IN:
*Drew Fielder
*Drew McKenna
*Jayden Epps (Transfer from Illinois)
*Dontrez Styles (Transfer from UNC)
*Rowan Brumbaugh (Transfer from Texas)
*Isamel Massoud (Transfer from Kansas State)
*Supreme Cook (Transfer from Fairfield)
My 0.02:
*Like I said, it was another sad season for the Hoyas. 7-25 overall and 2-18 in the league (better than no league wins I guess). Assuming that's the end of the Patrick Ewing era, expect a lot of updates to what's above as several of them could be hitting the portal. It'll be interesting to see who Georgetown hires!
UPDATE: Georgetown has made it official that they have relieved Ewing of duty. My early guess is they go after Mike Brey. He's from the DC area and could use a change of scenery to get his career back on the right track after leaving Notre Dame
UPDATE II: I was very wrong about who they'd hire. I'm mixed about it. I think Ed Cooley is a very good coach and Georgetown made a good hire but making an in-league coaching move like this is.....pardon my language but it's dickish to me. You seriously couldn't hire someone else from outside the league? Hard for me to be totally happy about this hire.
POST-DEADLINE UPDATE:
Georgetown's offseason got off to a good (I'd say a weird) start because they hired a coach from within the league. But Ed Cooley is an excellent coach and he's done a very good job at retooling the Hoyas roster. He got some talented players in the portal such as Epps, Styles and Brumbaugh. The latter redshirted at Texas but was highly touted out of HS. Styles didn't play much at UNC but if UNC wanted you at one point, you've gotta be pretty damn good. Fielder and McKenna are both great additions from the HS ranks. Will the best name in the Big East (Supreme Cook!) be serviceable? He was very good at Fairfield but the Big East is a big upgrade. Ed Cooley turned around PC, no reason to think he can't do the same in DC
