"Ranked" at Bark's #52 with CC getting his players for his style, is pretty good.

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!

In all seriousness, this is a very good post at this time.  Thanks

Now, where is that forward we so desperately need?

Mike K, we can find fault with the Biden Administration's handling of antisemitism while at the same time, condemn the current administration's blatant overreach.  Even if Trump's agenda was nothing more than fighting back against antisemitism, and I am far from convinced that this is the case, the actions he is taking or threatening to take are egregious to say the least.  I am Jewish and of course I abhor antisemitism.  That said, the price of millions of Americans losing their jobs, or of a substantial amount of vital medical research coming to a halt, just isn't worth this fight to me.   I would urge you to read Mara Riegel's excellent April 21 column in the GW Hatchet entitled "Perspective:  Trump Exploits Antisemitism To Repress Student Speech."  I suspect many Jews, like Mara and myself, are opposed to being help up like pawns to advance this fight.  Especially from the guy who was sure there were fine people on both sides in Charlottesville.

GWRising, your reaction says to me that that you equate "free speech" with "any or all speech", and this simply isn't true.  Hate speech must be differentiated from free speech.  Verbal and physical harassment must be differentiated from free speech.  Breaking laws must be differentiated from free speech.  One can not walk into a crowded movie theatre and scream "fire" where there is none.  That's breaking the law, not free speech.
 

you wrote ... "substantial amount of vital medical research coming to a halt, just isn't worth this fight to me."  Isn't worth the fight???? You sound like a 1931 era Jewish Berliner who had their head in the sand and didn't want to fight the anti Semitism that was exploding, as it is now in 2025 America,  OK, sounds like your stance is: Research money is needed to cure disease, and it is more important than stopping the exploding, rising and worsening harassment and intimidation of students NATIONWIDE, in this case Jewish students.

Correct, shameful that the right has sold its soul to an anti-American insurrectionist denying people the due process guaranteed by the constitution. 

 LMAO ... doubt you understand what due process means. You mean the due process Garcia was afforded before multiple judges and appeals resulting in a valid deportation order? Whether he should have been deported to El Salvador is an administrative error not a denial of due process. He should be returned and his plane should do a touch and go landing and take him to the country of his choosing because he is out of here either way.  Question ... did you find your new love of due process of law when the Biden Administration stripped people of property and jobs without hearings during COVID or just now because it is Orange Man bad? 

The liberals don't know he already had due process, court hearings (PLURAL), and a deportation order.  You know why they don't know???  Because Jake Tapper, Lester Holt, David Muir and Rachel Maddow don't tell them.  Plain and simple.

I see this a little differently.  The schools have done Jack Shit to curb the blatant anti Semitism.  Look at your social media feed today.  Today at Georget%^N, Columbia and Yale, Jews are being blocked from entering school buildings, and at Georget^&n a Hamas affiliated Professor (why the fuck is he working there?) is being protected by Hamas sympathizers dressed like Jihadists.  Don't believe me, search the interweb google machine.  Granberg has been nothing but a big disappointment and embarrassment.  She has coddled the groups that would punish, discriminate and jail her for her gender, the person she loves, and her religion.

If these universities had stamped out the anti Semitism rallies, marches, and protests when this started, we would not have this conversation.  But the Biden Admin didn't want the Jew Hatred crowd rallying against them more than they were already doing.  

So when the anti Trump, anti MAGA and left leaning/left wing crowd says Trump is trying to "[color=#000000]control what can and can't be taught, and threatening to withhold federal funding to schools who do not comply with the Administration's wishes" they should recall that all the schools needed to do was to protect ALL students, including Jewish students.  But you know what, they didn't.

The University Administration should ask themselves what they would do if the word Jewish was interchanged with the words gay, black, Hispanic, Asian or female.  We all KNOW there would be outrage and the marches, protests and rallies would be condemned and dismantled.  But we all now see how rampant and engrained the Jew Hatred is at these institutions.  They look for reasons to continue it, you know why, money.  Look at all the Arab oil money from Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and their affiliates pour into the schools.  Don't believe me, look it up.  

I don't want my tax dollars to support this ugly belief that it is permissible to continue Jew Hatred. If withholding Federal funds

Jean Aranguren will transfer to George Washington, his agent Paolo Zamorano tells @TheAthleticCBB He averaged 14.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game last season at Hofstra.

Still sounds disturbing when the news of the transfer is broken by the player's "agent".   Nice numbers.  Hope it translates to the A-10, as we seem to do much better with players transferring "down" from the power conferences rather than "up" from the lesser mid-major conferences, even if the numbers aren't as good.  By my count, we now have 11 players under scholarship:   6 returnees (Castro, Jones, Moss, Autry, Williams and Bevins), 3 portal transfers and 2 incoming frosh. Clearly the last remaining scholarship (contract?) or 2 needs to go to bigs, as I am not sure that we have done nearly enough to address this major hole in the team.  

Who is Williams? Do you mean Johnson?

They lost a big to Nebraska that they were close to but are still on the hunt. 

Is this the player we lost out on?

If true…. What the hell is going in?  I thought we were done with this type of BS. They sure pride themselves on good “support” hoops messaging.

need a seasoned coach to assist CC on the sidelines

We are moving in the right direction, but these are 2 areas where improvement is needed.

It's a miracle that we won 21 games with not one player playing consistently throughout the season, except for Castro during the conference schedule. Guys had great games and then disappeared for 2 or 3. If you watched Mason this season, you saw that they had several times our talent level. I hope Caputo has more luck with next year's roster, although after following the team for 60 years I know that recruiting and bringing in quality transfers--especially big men--has been almost impossible for GW, made worse by NIL! 

60 years!

I realized that I didn’t address my thoughts on the direction of the team.

CC has the team going in the right direction.  I’m all for a CC contract extension.  An extension would definitely help recruiting, NIL donations, and enthusiasm. We have 2 good recruits coming in and a Portal to go into!

When CC and staff pitch a transfer, he can show the “before and after” Max Edwards,  Castro, Garret, and last year’s Jun.  He can also say he wants to build on a 21 win season.

Good thing are coming  Looking forward to next year.
