I was watching the Gilbert Arenas/Javaris Crittenton documentary last night and noticed a framed GW jersey in the background of the interview with Rasheed Hazzard (who's had various coaching stops and I guess was friends with Crittenton). I looked him up and saw that he played at GW from 1994-98, although he only averaged about 5 minutes per game across four years.

I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into him as a player at GW or his coaching career, which seems to have included stops at high school, college, NBA, G League, the Japanese third division, and South Africa. That is quite the variety.

I know he was only a role player at best but does anyone remember him? Also if you've watched the documentary let me know what you think. I'm sure most of you remember the incident itself so I'm wondering how you thought the documentary represented what happened. Seems to me that the incident got blown out of proportion and Crittenton unfairly suffered the consequences of something Arenas was also responsible for (not that it excuses his actions that landed him in prison)

Here is the GW Basketball Insiders episode with Matt Colpoys about the offseason and transfer additions. Colpoys is always a great conversation so I suggest you check it out.

Two super exciting pickups! Love that they can both shoot. I think Caputo and staff have put together quite a nice roster. They've clearly leaned into experienced guys who've shown they can produce at lower levels. The depth is the best it's been in my few years of following GW basketball (which I recognize is a rather low bar) and I think could allow us to compete for a double bye.

As silly as I found the extra year of eligibility for JUCO players ruling at the time, I am happy to see we're taking advantage of it with Dinkins and Marshall.

We'll be recording an episode of GW Basketball Insiders tomorrow morning with Matt Colpoys talking about the offseason. Let us know if you have any questions for him or things we should discuss

Both seem like good moves. I especially like adding Nya Morris, who was one of the best scorers in D2 last year. According to this tweet (https://x.com/morris_nya/status/1907547352639971815) from her a few days ago, she also had "strong interest" from UNLV, UCF, Robert Morris, Rutgers, and Northwestern.

Jaeda Wilson is left handed and was signed with Marquette before flipping to Georgetown. 4.1 points per game, 44.4% from two, 23.6% from three (but 86.4% from the free throw line) in 17.3 minutes per game. Can't remember the last time there was a left handed player on the women's team (although I'm likely missing an obvious one)

According to Pete Thamel on Twitter, Maryland is actually starting the search this week and no candidates have been reached out to or even identified. Why it's taken this long to begin a process that should have began a month ago or what they have been doing for the last few weeks is beyond me but indicates a hire isn't imminent

Really nice pickup. Love the experience and shooting prowess he brings. Still 6 open spots! Feels like this may be the first announcement of a few over the next few days

New episode of GW Basketball Insiders is out. Scott Greaney and Abe Rothstein came on to talk about their experience in Vegas for The Crown and what they made of the game. We also discussed transfer portal activity and Jamion Christian being hired as the head coach at Bryant

Looks like another one of their guys just entered the portal a few minutes ago. Center Dylan Anderson, who has played 9 minutes since February 1

Would love to see a GW-Northwestern game scheduled next season, ideally at the Smith Center with a ceremony to honor him

Here's our GW Basketball Insiders episode about the hiring of Adeduntan:

We talked about her background, the transition from Patriot League to A-10, and the search process along with a bit of talk about A-10 men's teams performances in the NCAA Tournament and NIT
