Nebraska about to get their 2nd Big Ten win... Have definitely avoided being the worst team in a Power Conference. Georgetown lost their 18th straight and 0-16 in conference. 

G'town needs a new coach.  Archie Miller anyone?

Maybe not Georgetown, but I feel like Archie would do pretty well in the Big East.

Maybe I just have a lack of respect for Georgetown since I'm younger, but it seems like almost every guy on that list would be taking a demotion outside of maybe the Washington State guy?

I don't know about the demotion thing but I view the Georgetown job on par with Marquette.  JMO.

That'd be a fair comparison to how I look at it. And I should've clarified, I was just looking at the first table of established guys.

I understand.  I also realize the shine has well worn off the Hoya glitter.

Georgetown is a tough gig. They’ve raised their academic standards for athletes since the Thompson days to the point that they really struggle to get kids in. Recruiting-wise,  the DMV is both scuzzy and insular and Ewing has not only made no effort to wade into it, he’s been openly hostile to the idea. Their facilities suck. And, watching them, Ewing really is objectively terrible. They have talent, but the lack of development is criminal. Whomever the next guy is has to get some kind of concession on the academic side and then hold his nose and jump into the DMV swamp. But if he can keep Mohammed and Mutombo and get Harris to realize he’s not the only kid on the floor, he’d have a chance to make a pretty decent 1st impression.

Was Kenya Hunter our primary recruiter on Aminu Mohammed? Because, you know--portal and all.

Cant shoot

As a true freshman he's 30.8% from 3pt, 73% ft, and low 40's% from 2pt fg. That's not terrible at all.

Also 14ppg ...and 8 (!) rebounds per game. For context, that rebounding number is right where Trayce and Race are ... and he's 6'5"

Kid can play.

A little additional quick research -- Bruiser Flint was his primary IU guy--when Bruiser left Kenya became the lead. If he ever hit the portal UK would probably make an immediate move on him.

My understanding was that after Flint left Archie was primarily the one in contact.
