Admittedly, not knowledgeable about this recruit.

It will be interesting if he ends his collegiate career at GW. He shot 44% from beyond the arc, but like most of our other transfers, he was not a major contributor to his team, playing just 8 minutes a game. The only difference is that he doesn't come from a Power 5 school. Did he transfer because of lack of playing time? Don't see how coming to GW solves his problem, if that's the case.

I hope he has a great GW career and also given a chance to develop, without having the pressure of high expectations on his shoulders. 

 

The coach who recruited him left to take over BC

He stayed at CofC but suffered a concussion and hadn’t played this year.  Decided to transfer after recovering. 

Went to HS powerhouse Montverde Academy (Patricio Garino’s School )

Thank you to GWRising for giving us some advance preparation, to Hugh for being the one to first find it on Twitter and post about it on this site, and to DMVPiranha for providing the complete report on Keegan in the Recruits section.

Keegan played the rough equivalent of three full games last season (8+ minutes per game over 15 games).  To glean anything much from his statistics based on such a small sample size is silly.  Since he went 3-8 from the foul line, should we safely assume that he will be a subpar free throw shooter of under 40% in the future?  Perhaps he enjoys taking three point shots but to state his shooting 44% from 3 last year without providing the context that this amounted to 10-23 from 3, as if this is to imply that's what should be expected in the future, is a bit disingenuous.

Florida Colonial gave us the most worthwhile nugget, that he played at Montverde.  While there are exceptions to everything, this should mean that he was very well coached in high school.

Welcome aboard Keegan.

I hope he’s a lot better than his freshman year numbers on a bad team suggest.  We don’t need any more guys taking scholarships who can’t contribute to winning.

With this level of "coaching," why does it matter what recruits we get?  

Impressive academic interests.
Welcome to Keegan and family to our GW Colonial family.

Will be eligible in 2022-23 so like DMVPiranha said basically like announcing a high schooler signing a NLI.

My guess is that they are still appealing to have him eligible immediately

So Keegan fills gapare’s spot for next year?

That means two new guys next year. How many spots left?
