Funny how since the GW Men's Hoops following went from hundreds of regular die hard followers to just a few now, FQ has made himself the "Godfather" of GW hoops.

Free Quebec, I couldn't disagree with you more.
After 3 seasons, nothing to show for it. Excuses are many - NIL, transfers, lack of school support, etc, etc, etc.
Funny how we are no different from 300+ other D-1 schools.
We will be saying the same things about the next hire.

Another year where we should be "top 5" in the A-10 "on-paper"!
NCAA tourney here we come!

Rising, the majority of us 15 folks on this site aren't buying the same old excuses for mediocrity.
That same lame argument can be made by every team not ranked in the top 100 (which is 230+ teams), which isn't happening. We only have to look as far as GM and American to see your argument makes no sense. They are competitive and seem to schedule in a way that gets them ready for conference play and their coaches don't seem to be padding their schedule to keep their jobs. I don't want a coach who needs to do that for self preservation.

Rising, maybe CC should be fired. He is entering year 4 with nothing to show for years 1 through 3.

With your mentality, lets just move to the Patriot League (if they would have us) and have an easier chance of getting an auto bid.

"look where it got us".
Seriously Rising?
Being in the NCAA or NIT discussion every year between 2013-2016 vs where we are now clamoring for consideration in the Crown tourney!
We are unlikely to see those days again in our lifetime unless things change drastically at GW.

Maryland opening up season in Baltimore with Coppin State, Towson State and Loyola.
Same old excuses every year with a weak schedule.
There are no teams in D-1 that are afraid to play us. Even when we were good (before the 2016 debacle) we always seemed to play P-5 teams. This is what our AD's (3) and coaches (3) have allowed for the last 9 years now.
Even in a weak A-10 era, it's just a matter of time before the conference demands more from us.

UMD gets their man - James Smith (last with the Atlanta Braves organization.
Lipitz was (probably) a close second!

Since our basketball team has sucked and took a dump almost a decade ago, I understand some would like to switch topics and talk about anything else here. Not smart.
My personal beliefs are in line with Naismith (please God, I hope you aren't just another alias for the dude!).
We should just stick to whether or not we belong in the A-10 or the Patriot League, if they would have us.
Keep Raising High fellow Colonials!

We will take wins any way we can get them!
Petty BS in todays world of college athletics. The NCAA did nothing to Nero when he gave "impermissible benefits" to Larsen (and it wasn't tickets to see the Wizards play).

If this is "great news" and the quality of player we are filling our needs with, it's going to be another mediocre season.
As someone used to say, we need Power 5 talent to compete in the A-10! Not #10-15 P-5 players who realize they want to finish out their college careers with a little more playing time.
Hopefully I am proven wrong. All I'm asking for is the type of transfer hits we used to get at GW - Zeke, Cavanaugh, Mo, etc. They are out there. CC needs to put on the sales pitch charm.

I stand corrected Alum.
Lipitz was at the helm for our spectacular play in the Crown game and lets not forget he was at the helm during our OOC run to begin the season!
He would be a great addition to MD. CC better worry about how his replacement will feel about the D-3 teams we schedule to bolster up our record!

This is fake news. Similar to coaching searches, this is probably someone affiliated with Lipitz (agent) throwing his name out there with no corroboration by the Sun.
If true (hiring an AD who hasn't accomplished anything at GW because he's been here less than a year) MD is in worst shape than I thought.

Embarrassing. Poor basketball, empty stands. I have this bad feeling that we will be losing even more current players to the portal in the coming weeks. The staff must realize this also because it appears we are interested in just about every single player now in the portal.

Great hire. Winner everywhere he's been. Will keep the Terps moving forward. If we could ever move forward after a decade of misery maybe fans would get excited again.

I'm shocked that Jai Lucas got the job and not CC!
Fond memories of John Lucas in Cole Field House as a kid.

Speaking of Maryland, my favorite memory is when Mo Creek hit the dagger as time expired to beat them in 2013. One of you technically proficient youngsters should be able to bring that video up from the archives.

Rising's post gave me a chuckle.
I remember when Dude (posting under various other names back then) was bragging about how GW's Nero was the best AD in the Country after being recognized by Under Armour after we won our first and last post season Championship only to be fired shortly after (for you know what). Keep the posts coming Dude, the reason I bother to come on this site - It's my daily dose of humor!

Rising, it's that (he moved on) or he posts so much he's forgetting to switch his many monikers! Lol.
