Gerald Drumgoole is transferring from Pitt.  We offered him out of high school.

Florida Colonial, I believe there are reports that Liddell is only considering HBCUs, so I left him off. If I had to guess, he's probably headed to Texas Southern or Prairie View A&M, given the former school has always landed down transfers and the latter has had a lot of success in recent seasons (and both are in TX where Liddell is from). 

Good luck to Terry. Seemed like the writing was on the wall once he was suspended at Bradley (along with a couple other players) and never returned to the court. Hope he finds the right fit. I believe he also missed a game or two while at GW for a violation of team rules as well.
 

Ryan Devlin just started following Gerald Liddell.

Terry apparently got a raw deal at Bradley. Was implicated in something he did not have a part in and was cleared. However, the University acted rashly and harshly and there are some definite racial undertones. If I were Terry I would have got the hell out of there too.

Wouldn't surprise me. Haven't heard great things about Wardle either.
 

DMVPiranha,

Do you see us having any interest in/chance at Kuluel Mading?  I saw that he recently decommitted from Howard.  Maybe there's a connection with Eric Atkins?

Here's  one we can dream about, A local kid, but I wouldn't imagine we would have a chance. But what do I know.

Highly touted Miami Hurricanes freshman Earl Timberlake plans to transfer
Miami freshman Earl Timberlake plans to transfer from the Hurricanes, he told ESPN.Timberlake entered the season as a projected first-round NBA draft pick, but he dealt with ankle and shoulder injuries all season and played in only seven games. He will immediately become one of the best available transfers."I've been dealing with a whole lot this season as far as being away from home and ankle and shoulder injuries," Timberlake said. "I wanted to be there for my teammates, but unfortunately I wasn't able to. After some thought, I came to the conclusion that putting my name in the transfer portal is the best move for my future. There's nothing negative that happened. There's no bad blood with Miami. I just want a fresh start. I love Coach L and the rest of the coaching staff. I just want to start over and get a fresh start somewhere else."Timberlake, the No. 37 prospect in the ESPN 100 for 2020, was Miami's highest-ranked recruit since Lonnie Walker committed to the Hurricanes in 2017. A 6-foot-6 small forward from DeMatha Catholic High School (Maryland), Timberlake was expected to make an immediate impact for Jim Larranaga's team.He originally chose Miami over a final list that also included Providence, Seton Hall, South Carolina and Pittsburgh."I'm not sure where I want to go," Timberlake said. "I'm open to anything. I'm going in with an open mind. There are no favorites."Timberlake averaged 9.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in seven games this season, and will look to regain his NBA draft stock and pre-college expectations at his next destination."I will not be entering the NBA draft," he said. "I need to get back to being the real Earl Timberlake before I can think of taking the next step in my career."

Maryland and Georgetown will definitely show interest in Earl Timberlake, both of them probably recruited him while he was at DeMatha(he was heavily recruited by Georgetown), but GW could have a decent chance because the injuries limited his production. BCS guys who weren't able to produce because of injury and/or lack of playing time are the perfect target for GW. GW can sell E.Timberlake on lots of minutes and not getting recruited over, the BCS schools who will show interest in him will not be able to. 

  GW73, there was frustration on a lot more faces than team members about Bishop's play. Except for JC. No team basketball, just Me basketball.

Who knew we had so many great mind readers here? Everyone is frustrated with Bishop except when you speak to many they are not. Strange.

Sorry. No way there was no conflict within the team this season and it had nothing to do with players leaving.
 

It was a magical team-bonding year, even if it's not reflected in our record and what would seem like bad OOC losses, though they were actually wins long-term in team development. We beat Fordham twice! If that isn't a sign of hope, don't know what is. 
Sure, the last two years were rough, but developing a cohesive element of players, anchored by the Big 3 of Bishop, Lindo and Battle, will pay off in the future. The balanced team play, always zipping the ball around, enhanced by the offensive and defensive schemes and in-game adjustments that are our hallmarks is something to be incredibly proud of.
   Of course, there were a lot of challenges, but we have all these veteran GW players who have been battle-tested (so to speak), learned the system and are ready to now put into effect what they have learned from being on the team in the last two years.
