Personally, I enjoy seeing the staff go after the Chris Wrights, Jason Clarks, and even the Akinjos of the guard world, but there is always room on my team for an intelligent, hard-working leader on the floor and in the locker room, especially if he is 6’4” and has a nice shot. To learn more or opt-out, read our Cookie Policy. Last year, as a junior, Gillespie had a career-high in points (15.1), assists (4.5), and rebounds (3.7), and will likely see those averages take a jump again this year. Vying for 6th place with Pickett and Blair carrying the bulk of the scoring load is not ideal, but it opens room for young guys to step-up. At 6-foot-11, Garcia is an athletic stretch four who runs well and is best when he is operating around the perimeter.

In an interview with the Washington Post on Monday, head coach … David Duke will be the player that Providence looks to to fill the void left behind by Diallo. In five of his six seasons at the helm of Marquette basketball, Wojciechowski's team have ended the year ranked lower than where they started in the preseason, per KenPom.com. Along with Aiken, Kevin Willard was also able to bring in another high-scoring transfer guard, Takal Molson from Canisius. LINKS: Georgetown Roster Updated, Finally. The Pirates will likely take a step back this season with Powell gone, but also because of the loss of Quincy McKnight, one of their best perimeter defenders, and Romaro Gill, their best rim protector. After one of-- if not the best-- seasons in program history, including Creighton's first-ever share of a Big East regular season title, the Bluejays were looking primed for a huge year in 2020, until star guard Ty-Shon Alexander decided to stay in the NBA Draft and forego his senior season. Dave Leitao is in a race against time. While the post-November personnel limitations may have increased team chemistry on the floor, confidence was also boosted. Bolden, who started his career at GW, started 15 games for USC last season, and shot 41% from three.

The Hoyas have added two grad transfers to the roster as their biggest need was [checks notes] ambulatory 18-22 year olds. Carton, a 6-foot-2 point guard from Iowa, averaged 10.4 points and three assists per game as a freshman at Ohio State, and shot 47.7% from the field and 40% from beyond the arc.

With Bey gone now, Collin Gillespie will be the unquestioned go-to player for Villanova this year. Thankfully, a top-25 incoming recruiting class should help Travis Steele and his team make up for the losses of Naji Marshall and Tyrique Jones. Jacob Epperson could be the Jays' best option at center, at 6-foot-11, but hasn't played since December 14, 2018. The former highly-ranked high school recruit is electric on offense, when healthy, and can hold his own on defense too. Still, Ewing is right as “only time will tell.”. If Stanley can't play this year, Jason Carter would likely start in his place, but the defense will be an issue. Key Departures: Since a year ago at this time or only since the 2019-20 season ended? Smaller rotations lead to happier teammates. Jalen Harris is probably going to be the starting point guard right out of the gate, but that 27% turnover rate last season in Fayetteville should probably terrify the hell out of our friends at Casual Hoya. The Wildcats' strength will be in the frontcourt, with last year's Big East Freshman of the Year Jeremiah Robinson-Earl headlining a group that also features Jermaine Samuels and Cole Swider. Seton Hall will need outstanding seasons from Aiken and Mamu, and will need to have 2-3 other players step up to help the team on offense this year. We entered last season wondering if swapping Omer Yurtseven for Jessie Govan as the only change on the roster would automatically make the Hoyas better as their freshmen became sophomores. Ewing has implemented a high-paced offense, but limited bench has slowed his expected installation of long stretches of full-court pressure. Please also read our Privacy Notice and Terms of Use, which became effective December 20, 2019. One might think that, with the pandemic and worries of the season (or school) being cancelled, that coaches are looking beyond this season towards 2022, but Ewing added two grad-transfers in this crew. Getting top young athletes to buy-in, work hard, and be patient is difficult but crucial if Georgetown wants to compete in the BIG EAST and beyond. He’ll find a way to contribute sooner rather than later. While it unknown at this time what 247Sports One hates to say it, but transfers are a harsh reality of modern college basketball. He hasn’t been the actual coach of the team since before the turn of the century, but the three coaches since then — Craig Esherick, John Thompson III, and Patrick Ewing — are all Big John’s progeny, either biologically or as former players. Usually in a Year One situation, you’re dealing with freshmen than you didn’t ask to be a part of your program. Whether he can improve on his poor shooting from last season (39.8% on two-point field goals and 32.1% on three-point attempts) is a big question with the shifty point guard. Georgetown fans may remember Cole from when he dropped 28 points against the Hoyas back in 2018, and 17 back in 2017. Key Returners: Jahvon Blair, Jamorko Pickett, and Qudus Wahab. So, is the 2020-21 Georgetown Roster Complete Now [that Mac is Transferring]? Ewing also brought in Arkansas graduate transfer Jalen Harris (PG), and grad transfer Chudier Bile (PF). The conference basketball season may be starting in 53 days? As of May, much of the news regarding Georgetown and Ewing’s interest and offers involve recruits from the class of 2021 and beyond. Jared Rhoden and Myles Cale are two prime candidates, but will need to become more consistent players to become key contributors for this team. Long stretches of play may be needed to see how these new players will fit in and thrive. Thus, McClung is now a Red Raider in Lubbock and Ewing is left to fend for himself. Without expecting overtime each game, I see minutes competition for guards, especially Beard, Dante Harris, Kobe Clark, and Berger, to be tough. TJ Berger presumably fills the last scholarship, and is the 7th addition to the Hoyas’ roster. Wings - I expect Jamorko Pickett to get the only non-guard wing minutes, with about 10-15 minutes as a SF, but perhaps Jamari Sibley and Kobe Clark gets some run here. Projected Starters: DJ Carton, Koby McEwen, Jamal Cain, Dawson Garcia, Theo John, Key Returning Players: McEwen, Cain, John, Greg Elliott, Symir Torrence, Key Departures: Markus Howard, Sacar Anim, Brendan Bailey, Key Arrivals: Carton, Garcia, Justin Lewis. Postseason Projection: Nowhere close to an NCAA tournament bid, and losing their final seven games of the season including the Big East tournament game to the team they were tied with in the standings but swept in the regular season to get the tiebreaker did not help them polish their resume for an NIT berth. Projected Starters: Bryce Aiken, Myles Cale, Jared Rhoden, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Ike Obiagu, Key Returning Players: Mamukelashvili, Rhoden, Cale, Obiagu, Key Departures: Myles Powell, Quincy McKnight, Romaro Gill, Key Arrivals: Aiken, Takal Molson (Canisius), Dimingus Stevens, Jahari Long. Aiken will have to be the straw that stirs the drink for the Pirates this season. The roster that Anderson has this year is a better fit for his style of play for his teams, which is having his players play fast and free, get to the rim as much as possible, and press opponents on defense and try to rush them into mistakes and sloppy play. It just stopped being a criminal matter in the District of Columbia. However, their best recruit, 6-foot-6 forward Scooby Johnson, tore his ACL and will miss the 2020 season. The notable storyline for this season in the Big East is the return of the UConn Huskies to the conference, an addition that will add quality depth to the conference immediately. A worst-case scenario for those two may be if Chudier Bile and Jamorko Pickett steal some small-ball-center minutes to get them on the court together with three quicker guards. Is Tyler Beard a Jabril Trawick or a Vee Sanford? Eight more states were added Monday, including Connecticut (UConn), Ohio (Xavier), Pennsylvania (Villanova) and Rhode Island (PC). He has a record of 49-46. The Jays will score, but the question marks about how well they can defend will persist this season, and could sink their season if the offense suffers even a slight regression in 2020.

comes in from Northwestern State, where he averaged 14.3 points and 7.6 rebounds for the Demons last year. If Ewing is the coach that the GU administration thought that he is when they hired him, then anything that’s better than finishing last in the league is a pretty good outcome for Georgetown this year. This post jinxed it. Here is what the expected roster looks like: T.J. Berger (CG) joins a freshman class of Jamari Sibley (F), Tyler Beard (G), Kobe Clark (G/F), and Dante Harris (G). Yes, that’s a mess, and to a certain extent, one that Georgetown created for themselves by letting everyone wonder for a good long while what exactly Akinjo had done to get tossed from the team when it turned out that he was just leaving the team and transferring. Adding two grad transfers indicates Ewing is in “win now” mode and his statement on McClung coming back points to optimism. Key Returning Players: Dunn, Earlington, Champagnie, Roberts, David Caraher, Greg Williams Jr. Key Departures: LJ Figueroa, Mustapha Heron, Nick Rutherford, Key Arrivals: Alexander, Arnaldo Toro (George Washington), Vince Cole (JuCo), Dylan Wusu. is also a senior now and is one of just two guys to start all 32 games a year ago, giving the Hoyas 10.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.1 assists. Perhaps. If you like really smart guards that can play the 1 or 2 and shoot 45% from 3, you’ll like him. It also means you’re losing people you’ve invested time and coaching in. Likewise, the goal with your highest rated freshman recruit, Jamari Sibley, is minutes, so Ewing will have to experiment ways to get the forwards on the floor together. Brian Patrick and Ray Salnave, another pair of incoming transfers, will be called upon to do just that. Ewing is looking at having four or five open scholarships next season, depending on when McClung does go pro. There will likely be no seniors in 2021-2022. The Huskies' frontcourt is waiting on a few injured players to get back to form. This upcoming season, fans will almost definitely see a return of the “line changes” from early last season out of the gates, and it may take a while for the coach to settle into his rotations.

Ewing is right in saying that recruiting is the life-blood of any college program, but I’m not sure quantity cannot deter quality.

He was 2nd in assist rate last season and fifth in usage, and will be the maestro of the team's offense once again. The real downside for him is that he’s the one that recruited the incoming freshman class. He could be a big contributor to Georgetown right when he steps on campus. 2019-20 was supposed to be Patrick Ewing’s coming out party as a Division 1 head coach. Projected Starters: Jared Bynum, David Duke, AJ Reeves, Noah Horchler, Nate Watson, Key Returning Players: Duke, Watson, Reeves, Key Departures: Alpha Diallo, Luwane Pipkins, Kalif Young, Emmitt Holt, Key Arrivals: Noah Horchler (North Florida), Jared Bynum (St. Joseph's), Brycen Goodine. Well, okay, that’s not 100% true. Luckily for Creighton, they still have point guard Marcus Zegarowski, who will be vying for the Big East Player of the Year award this season with Villanova's Collin Gillespie. Still, looking at the roster and the recruiting buzz, one has to worry if Ewing is trying to fill spots. But DePaul AD Jean Lenti Ponsetto retired this offseason, and it's a real question whether new AD DeWayne Peevy will stick with Leitao after this season, especially if DePaul has another last place finish in the Big East. No, it did not get better for the Hoyas. After McClung’s agent Tweeting, Ewing walked back his comment saying “Maybe I spoke too soon.” Was it “too soon” or his decision just misunderstood? Things were kind of looking up for DePaul early on last season, as the Blue Demons started out 12-1 versus nonconference opponents. 2019-20 Record: 15-17, 5-13 in the Big East.
