Just merciless through the first 10 minutes. An absolutely relentless attack. So much fun to watch.

Harris is a one man trap right now.

Two things can be true at the same time. CC could be a good hire but GW screwed up letting JC go.

Yes.  Exactly.

I'll take this a step further and say that the two things have absolutely nothing to do with each other. 

However, I can't objectively look at the last three years' schedule and results and come away with any conclusion other than GW was 100% justified in letting JC go.

Seikou Sisoho Jawara (Weber State) is going to be on campus today. That would certainly be a great get. Originally from Spain.

I've only watched a 5 minute highlight reel, but I'm not sure Seikou and Bishop would mesh as a backcourt. Not a lot of complimentary skill sets between the two from what I could tell.

I think in the context of GW revolutionaries is a fine name. Keeping the mascot as George sets the tone for the revolutionary war revolutionaries. Now if the mascot was the crazy face paint and bull horns guy who stormed the capital, then revolutionaries might be a problematic name

So I actually agree with your statement. But replace "Revolutionaries" with "Colonials" in the first sentence of your post. I would agree with that statement too.

If we apply the same framework in analyzing Colonials (i.e., including definitions that clearly don't apply to GW) there's just no way that Revolutionaries gets us to a different result.

Thanks for posting this, GWAA.   

I like referring to us, officially, as The Buff and Blue, but stylized as the Buffs for the team nickname. 

The fight song already calls us the Buff and the Blue, a Buffalo mascot works, and Buffalo (Bison) we’re prevalent all throughout our country during that era.

I agree and posted the same on the other thread. I'll add that other schools (Stanford, Syracuse) have made the change to a color without much fanfare.  The biggest reason I like it is that Buff(s) would be unique without obviously trying to be unique.

I wouldn't add a new mascot though. Just keep everything the same. Howard had the bison covered for DC.

My two favorite teams are GW and Drake. Drake hired Darian DeVries in 2019 and he's now 3rd in all time wins at Drake. An absolute homerun hire that has changed everything for the program.

I bring this up because he was at Creighton as an assistant for TWENTY years under both Altman and McDermott. I was really excited when I first heard about Caputo because of the obvious similarities. I think its very obvious that Caputo, like Darian, has been waiting for the perfect opportunity to take the next step in his career. He has been waiting for the right school where he can win a place that he loves. And, if the rumors are true, that school happens to be GW.

Now this of course does not address whether or not he'll be successful. But, I think back to when I fell in love with GW at first sight. The tour guide was discussing admissions and said, “GW wants students that want GW.” To me that meant GW wants students that understand why GW is different (and better) than any other school. I think that premise should be the starting block with any hire. Caputo appears to check my first box.
 

JNJ, Bishop, Battle, Jack, Paar

I had the same thought process. My one quibble with Rothstein's prediction was that Paar was not included in the starting lineup. I think he'll start over Moyer. I know he's a grad transfer from the SEC, but he wasn't a starter there and really didn't get a lot of minutes. That being said, I bet Moyer will average over 20 minutes a game. I also agree Sloan will get a ton of minutes off the bench.

David Silverman was my 2nd favorite professor at GW. (2nd only to Ambassador Gnehm). Love that guy. He's also an expert on Colonial America, for whatever that's worth.

One minor quibble, SLU is a private university with a little over half the undergraduate enrollment of GWU. I think we should consider them a comp.

This seller on ebay has a lot of great GW items including past uniforms for sale at pretty good prices in case there are any collectors out there.
