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.
 

Well since you know of this conflict, please do tell with some specifics. Or is this just trying to foist the time worn poor debating point of "well you can't prove there wasn't any?"

Louisville sophomore Aidan Igiehon is transferring, sources told ESPN. Former ESPN 100 big man has battled injuries most of the past two seasons.

We were recruiting Aidan before he blew up and started getting high BCS offers.

Timberlake is NOT coming to GW. Timberlake would not even consider GW. Would you right now if you were any good? Wouldn't be surprised to see him go to Michigan and re-unite with his former teammate and play for Juwon.

Well, sure, but let us fans have our dreams.

Transfer list now up to 430 names. Last year on the day after Selection Sunday it was 280. 👀

Are you sure all 430 kids aren't from GW? You would think that reading some of the posts in other threads here. Probably all 430 are mad at Bishop too!
 

Elijah Wood (no not Frodo) is transferring from Nebraska. Local kid from Potomac who was also originally committed to URI. From what I can tell, he looks like he has a similar frame/skill set as Terry Nolan Jr.

Elijah Wood? Seriously? Putting him and Terry Nolan Jr. in the same paragraph is an insult to Terry. I promise you there is zero chance he plays at GW. Next.

Ok, Elijah Wood didn't get a good response.  May I interest you in a DJ Harvey?  Former DeMatha grad who played for Brey before transferring to Vandy last season.  Maybe there is some sway with former ND great Eric Atkins to get DJ to return home?

Vanderbilt F D.J. Harvey (RS JR) has entered the transfer portal. Grad transfer. verbalcommits.com/players/d-j-ha…

Was starting every game at ND and scoring 11 a game as a soph so transfer to Vandy was a bit of a headscratcher.  Maybe attracted by Stackhouse over Brey?  Minutes and points dropped last season.  Bio says he's a Bowie native.

Looks like he's shown an ability to shoot the 3, at least percentagewise in recent games.
And we have that double Notre Dame connection, which could be helpful depending on the situation there.
Don't know if Bowie native helps or hurts, given our recent history.
Good find, gents.

Like Harvey a lot. I agree that I would have some trust issues with Wood. Everyone makes decisions for various reasons, but committing and then decommitting from both URI and Tulane strike me as red flags (and then leaving Nebraska after a year). He's local, but we need to be looking for best fit on the team.

Wheeler originally committed to Duquesne I think, so the A10/MWC/MVC level is probably where he will end up.

One other name:
George Papas SG (Monmouth; Plainfield, NJ) **1 year to play**
Stats: 20 GP, 27.9 mpg; 12.4 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 1.8 apg, 1.1 spg; 44% FG, 39% 3-pt, 79% FT
Heard from: Boston College, Butler, Eastern Kentucky, Florida Gulf Coast, James Madison, Kent State, NJIT, South Alabama, South Dakota State, Southern Illinois, Tulsa, UIC, Xavier

Seems like he will be highly coveted given his shooting, and he is a solid defender as well.

 My issue with Wood doesn't even get to the level of he attended 4 high schools, committed to multiple colleges, and now has transferred again after his freshman year. That would be a red flag in and of itself. The fact is he can't play at least not at the D1 level. He is a D2/D3 guy. He was an above average MOCO public school player where there were easily 10-12 guys better than him every year, none of whom went D1. His handler is a clown who has hyped up many guys in the DMV, all of whom have transferred HS and colleges, committed then de-committed, or made really bad school choices. For example, he allegedly was behind the Jalen Gibbs mid-season transfer from the Mount this year where Jalen was a senior and about to graduate, was starting and was the team's leading scorer. Apparently, he thought it would be in the young man's best interests to get in the portal early??????  How foolish was that decision when the Mount went on to the NCAA tournament without him and Jalen currently has not transferred anywhere? How this guy has managed to fool so many college coaches and players time and time again is really amazing. I can promise you he won't fool JC. It's sad how Elijah got such bad advice throughout his playing career.
