Maggie Gray is a host on SiriusXM and SNY, and used to host the mid-day show on WFAN
Danny Rouhier is hosting the afternoon drive on 106.7FM in DC

I know of a handful of folks working in production at ESPN, Fox Sports, GOLF Channel, etc. 

I can't speak for the 2017-20 period, but I get the sense that COVID up-ended a lot of plans, followed by the departure of a very pro-athletics LeBlanc/Diaz administration. Then you end up with an interim president, and now we're back to an admin that seems to value athletics in a real way.

The new threat on the horizon is GW's exposure to federal funding cuts, and how things will need to be shuffled to maintain existing commitments across campus should those wells dry up. I just don't know how bad it is for GW, but I know it might be catastrophic at other schools. I also have no idea if Athletics will be dragged into those adjustments.

Alumna Jonquel Jones, B.A. ’19, the 2021 WNBA most valuable player and reigning MVP of the WNBA Finals for the champion New York Liberty, will deliver the Commencement address at the George Washington University’s Commencement on the National Mall on May 18.

Before her stardom in the WNBA, the top women’s professional basketball league in the world, Jones put together a historic career in the buff and blue that earned her an eventual enshrinement in the GW Athletics Hall of Fame. During her time at GW, Jones earned both Atlantic 10 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in 2015, just the fourth player in conference history to earn both accolades in a single season. She twice led GW to the NCAA Tournament.

Jones, who was drafted sixth overall in the 2016 WNBA draft as GW’s first-ever first-round selection, has since become a household name in professional and international basketball for her work both on and off the court.

She will also receive an honorary Doctor of Humanities from the university at Commencement.

Jones, who moved from her native Bahamas to Maryland at age 14, ranks third all-time at George Washington in career rebounds, fourth in scoring average (15.4) and fifth in blocked shots in just 76 games at GW from 2013-16 after transferring from Clemson. She is one of only three players ever in the storied tradition of GW women’s basketball with 1,000-plus points, 800-plus rebounds and 100-plus blocks in a career.

After leading the nation as a senior in rebounding, Jones earned her second career WBCA All-American nod as well as her second-straight Associated Press All-American recognition. After being drafted by the Los Angeles Sparks, her rights were traded to the Connecticut Sun, where she quickly established herself as

If this hire was announced in early April, I think I'd be thrilled. I don't know if we swung big early and missed, or if we settled too fast.

Coach Adeduntan is a great person, and a very good coach, and I think will have a lot of winning seasons at GW. I'm not sure I'm optimistic about a lot of Conference Championships or Tourney runs, but a lot of that has to do with staff and resources. I grade this a B or B+, which after the last couple of seasons is fine enough for me. 

Worth noting that in the Mountain West, there are 5 teams that are top 75 (which means playing them on the road is a Q1 game), and the A10 had three. Saint Joe's was #76. 

Also worth noting that Air Force had the fewest Q1 games in the Mountain West with 5. Utah State had 6. The rest had 7 or more.

Dayton played 6 Q1 games (going 3-3, incredibly). Mason, Davidson, and La Salle each played 5 (winning just one game between them), and the rest played 4 or fewer. GW, Rhody and Duquesne all went 0-1 in Q1 games.

SCHEDULE. SCHEDULE. SCHEDULE.

Caputo needs to retain Castro, and use whatever momentum he can squeeze out of a 20-win season to go with his NIL pool to finish top 5 or so in conference. I think it's a little dramatic to call next season make or break, but this program needs to continue ascending. This can't be the ceiling.

Will confess that I didn't watch a ton of SLU outside of GW, but I found Robbie Avila to be not nearly as good as advertised. For those who are better informed... was he deserving of the second team nomination?

I'll say it again - GW should have never fired Rizzotti. I don't care the roster they came with - fact is she delivered two championships (tournament + co-reg season.....it still counts) and an NCAA appearance before being unfairly hamstrung in the wake of COVID. You cannot justify firing a a WBB/UConn legend, championship coach, and Olympic gold medal winning, US Women's National Team and Olympic FIXTURE and trading that in for the last five years of slop from McCombs.

I get some people on this board had bad experiences with her or didn't enjoy her sideline antics (but loved Mike L....?!)....but c'mon..it's okay to admit GW messed up. Look where we are right now. 

I was reflecting on this today. At the time I was surprised, but not upset, that Rizzotti had been fired. I was also quite pleased by what I read about McCombs on paper. She came from the McKeown coaching tree, had thrived at Stony Brook, and seemed poised to bring a similar level of success at GW. 

Despite the obvious and immense potential of Ali Brigham, there wasn't much more that suggested that Coach Rizzotti was going to get the GW program back to its halcyon days of McKeown or Tsipis at the time.

Knowing what I know now? I'd rather GW had let Rizzotti have the chance.
 

First, and obviously, Rising is absolutely right about the accident last night overtaking anything about this game.

GW Basketball has always been a great(ly exhausting?) distraction from the world outside, so I'm going to lean into the game anyway. Lots of positives from that game, but I don't think we get away with some of the sloppy mistakes, the failure to score on the break a bunch of times, and our continued susceptibility to getting backdoored down low against a better A10 team. A win is a win is a win for sure, but as we approach the second half of the A10 season, there's much to tighten up.

Thanks, Mayhem.

That the AD's actions were quite clearly beyond the pale is not, unto itself, an exoneration. It is helpful context and it makes ML more sympathetic. One situation feels pretty black and white based on the reporting. The other seems to live in a grey area, and your perspective is going to depend 1) on your relationships with the people involved, 2) on what you think it takes to win at this level, and 3) what you believe the student-athlete experience should be at GW regardless of your talent level.

I'm not going to get mad at anyone for feeling one way or the other. I'm just skeptical of folks who say it's all "lies."
