 JC talked about JNJ  when asked about players leaving during the meeting last Monday night with season ticket holders.  It is impressive that JC is so willing to listen and respond to fans when he is asked tough questions or his coaching and the team are criticized.  To put it in perspective ... I would second the comment of one season ticket holder in the meeting who said he has been acquainted with every basketball coach since 1966 and that JC has been the most open and accessible with GW fans. From the GW coaches I have seen, I would agree. And I am confident that there aren't many college coaches across the country that would be as open to fans as JC.

I told JC that to me, losing Jameer felt like a punch in the gut and he said he felt the same way Although the jury is still out on JC, I agree with everything in this post. FWIW, Lonergan was the same way. You could ask him anything and he would give a straight up answer, sometimes stunningly so.

​Truer words couldn't be spoken re ML.  I met him at Tonic after one of the home games during his first year at GW.  We told him good game, and asked him some questions about the team.  It was amazing how forthcoming and honest he was.  He seemed to want to talk basketball with us longer than we had time to stay around and listen.  He turned me into a big supporter of his from that game on.  If JC follows that same path, I think it could endear him to a lot of fans and help the fan base ride through these early struggles.
 

So Whats the News???

Lindo thing really odd and so far,hasn't changed or been explained.
Though would certainly welcome that,as it doesn't make a lot of sense.
Normally an argument could be made like Tyler.
Maybe there's some reason.
But if it's not Covid and you're not burning eligibility, hard to see what you lose.
  Except ,barring further explanation, time acclimating to teammates which can be useful in the future.

Lindy's Red Lion may be reopening? That is good news!

Just to reiterate what LSF said quoting JC in the pre-game chalk talk, the decision is up to Lindo to make in consultation with his family and the coaching staff. He came to GW with the idea that he would be sitting out the entire year. NCAA has changed its rules so he can now play with no delay or loss of a year of play. Christian said he would like him to play but is leaving that decision to the young man. Good for him. If we’re so concerned about the student-athletes and morality of how the program is being run, this should be a no-brainer. We’ll know when we know and should be accepting of whatever decision Lindo makes. If the good news is something other than whether Lindo plays, then we’ll have to patiently wait to find that out too.

Exactly.

It had been many years since I had been to Lindy's.  Before becoming a Colonial Club member, with its pregame dinners, I would generally grab a bite in the neighborhood, sometimes going to Lindy's.  Unfortunately, when I was last there, it no longer had its own kitchen but rather shared the kitchen and its menu with Bon Appetite (ne "The Galley), which I also liked a lot, but it wasn't Lindy's as it was before the move.

Is "niel" coming back to ask if games are on TV?
 

Part of the good news will have to wait a few days in light of today's developments.

Then on second thoughts, being the sneaky devil that he is, GWRising may be trying to falsely let us believe its Lindo, when it may be someone else that is suited up.

JNJ is not coming back. That's not the news.
