Since the contact period began last night, George Washington has has reached out to 177 prospects in the class of 2023. 

Busy night for @JamionChristian and his staff.

"Increasingly I expect more schools to take this path. Not because they're worried about recruiting all these guys. But because you've got to build relationships, on the probability that a bunch of these kids end up in the portal down the road. This is the new college basketball"

Agree with this 100%, of that 177 how many will transfer? likely a lot
 

Based on current transfer rates ... approximately 80.

The Bryant school of recruiting.  I'm sure the 177 people we called feel very special 

I kinda agree with BM on this one.  A call at midnight to a recruit could make GW stick out in their mind as showing they have a big interest in them...until they see on twitter that they also reached out to 176 other players.  That volume kinda takes away the juice behind the individual call.  

I don't care if they called 177 players or 77 players.  All I care about is that the team gets good players that allows GW to be competitive for several years in a row.  That's it.  If reaching out to 177 players gets them there, great.

I will say that while the pandemic surely impacts recruiting, I'm not going to be thrilled if we hear "well this player didn't pan out, but that's because recruiting was harder during the pandemic."  Those same issues plagued every player and every team.  If GW can't cull through the 177 players it contacted and get players good for the team, that's on them.

This boils down to whether you'd like to know how the sausage is made or do you only need to make sure that the sausage tastes good.  I get both sides.  On the one hand, I am pleased that JC and staff are working hard to turn things around, to the point where JC was singled out (in a good way) on Twitter for his efforts.  On the other hand, we as a fan base have waited five years to see a team that remotely resembles ML's NIT Championship team.  So if your attitude is apathy towards what JC is doing or saying from a recruiting standpoint because all that really matters is how well this team performs on the court, it's hard not to understand that too.

Rest assured, no matter what, this won't end with JC fired, out of Coaching, and for 6 years in a row, a local gym attendant


 

I'll just assume you forgot to include the part about receiving a multi-million dollar settlement.  

Florida Colonial, this conversation needn't be taken anywhere.  It needn't be written about ever again short of new information coming out.  It's the same poster who brings the issue up time and again.  He does it because he's a troll.  He obviously can't control himself despite repeated threats to be suspended or banned if he continues in this manner.  

The "disgraced Lonergan works in a gym" narrative is only brought up by one person and one person only.  The Dude initiates this EVERY time.  

Oh....six things.  JC is great because he's won an NCAA tournament game, and no other coach has in 20 years or something like that.  Sorry, I undersold his trolling skills.  My sincerest apologies. 

I think it's great to get a hometown player like Qwanzi! Looking at his stats, the minutes are kind of all over the place. Do we know if he was dealing with lingering injuries or why he only played 3 games last season?

Always a dozen fake names around MailvanMVMayhem. He antagonizes someone, and out they come. Same old story.  Been going on a long time Barry,  We ever going to enforce a 1 man, 1 name rule?  

As to the prior 5 years, too many Goss Miguels Marfos Griffins Cimino and Swanns in the recruiting well were sinking the program one way or the other.  

As to the next 5 years, JC turns this thing around, and will be hounded by Power 5 offers, which will be our biggest concern in time. 
Unlike the guy you also cried about who you wanted fired for HIS first two years Mailvan, will not spend his post GW days a local gym attendant.   You'll have to find a new name then I guess Mailvan. Speaking of moments in time, recall when it was revealed you were both the Mailvan and your exact oppposite, both of which acompanied by phony attack dog names then too, by the Board Admin?   the few people left on the board recall it. Good ol' MailVanHem, same ol' tricks
