I think it was the UMass game where the players mentioned how Caputo was challenging them to really stomp on a team and they finally achieved that.  It's unfortunate it only happened in a couple of games.

One thing I noticed is that it seemed like once we built up a decent lead, we'd often try higher risk/lower percentage stuff than being our methodical selves that built up a 6-10 point lead.  It takes a lot of discipline to play "boring" basketball on both ends of the floor.

As I golfer I struggle with the same impulse.  Instead of just hitting it to the middle of every green and two putting, if I get off to a good start, I suddenly think I'm scratch and go flag hunting. That almost always ends poorly.

KH was reportedly a finalist for the La Salle job before it went to Dunphy. 

Otherwise, like Mayhem said, I think financially being an assistant at GT is equal to or greater than what he'd make at a school lower than the A10-level.

Buchanan, Hutchinson, Nessah, Drumgoole all doing their best for us to not miss them next season

Agree with this although I think Drumgoole is out of eligibility

He didn't believe we'd be in the Final Four this week!?

CC does a great job of promoting the program and talks convincingly about  the advantages of playing for GW, however in the end, it all gets down to $$$.    What a shame.

It is a shame because we all chose GW for non-monetary reasons.  Heck, a lot of us chose to attend GW knowing it was going to cost us a lot of money.

Hopefully the University stays true to its word that it plans on directly supporting the team once it is allowed to do so under the House settlement.  If that's the case, we should be in a strong position to not only retain the players we want to retain but attract better players in the portal.

Guessing Elijah Strong (hope, but a bit unlikely) or Paul Djobet from Miami (more likely given the CC/Miami connection?)

Neither of those players are who I am hearing.

Ah so Kwame Evans Jr or Pat Ngongba II, got it 😉

Word is Nessah wanted more $ and PT than we could commit to at this point given his injury history.

I feel like in the “old days” he would’ve been Garino-ish by his Junior year. Instead he’ll probably end up at a LM where he can start.

Darren says he still plans on playing in the Crown with the team

First and Foremost I want to thank god for the gift of life and all of the opportunities he has given me with the gift of basketball. This game has truly changed my life for the better and I'll never take any moment of this for granted. I want to say thank you to coach Caputo and his amazing staff for the last 2 years I spent here at GW. I have a great relationship with him and the rest of the staff and I will always have love for those guys regardless. The experiences here at GW has been truly incredible, from the wins in the smith center to the amazing community that surrounds the program. I will forever and always be a revolutionary.

To the city of DC thank you for welcoming me back with open arms and showing me nothing but love and support. All in all I have decided to enter the transfer portal with 2 years of eligibility remaining and looking for somewhere to call home next season. I will still be playing with the team out in Vegas in the Crown Tournament.

So long to Keegan Harvey. Not sure how he has any eligibility left but hope he finds a place to get some regular PT
