Right and we don't know when we called.  It could've been the same time as we called Bamisile and Bamisile committed first.  I agree that hopefully our next move should be for a shooter.  

WMPC tweets are going out!

UConn transfer Brendan Adams has committed to George Washington.

Very complimentary comments about Adams on the UConn board. 

UConn Board Link

Two years of eligibility remaining.  Glad it's not just one.

So Lee, Basimile, Adams. I'd say that's a pretty good start.

We now have the following players from these Conferences ...

SEC - Bishop
BE - Adams
ACC - Basimile
B10 - Lindo, Harris
PAC 12 - Lee

I don't think we have ever had 6 guys on a GW roster at the same time who were recruited and played at power conference schools..

It's this stuff that is irksome.  It's great the guys JC has brought in right now.  And with two years of Adams, that's great and impactful.  But you spend TREMENDOUS amounts of time talking about how much different transferring is now, and how we shouldn't judge JC for the transfers out.  If that's true, you can't then credit JC for being the first guy to bring in so many other big conference players,  because such an opportunity was not previously available to other GW coaches.  Great get- but let's stick to the topic.

I was just stating a fact danjsport. Plus, Lonergan thrived with multiple Power Conference transfers named Armwood, Cavanaugh, and Creek. Also got the kid from Missouri who didn't stick.

This is a fair point Danjsport.  I think demerits are in order for the vast exodus of players over the past two years, several being JC recruits.  In a few instances, JC either coached or planned on coaching players at Siena, only to find out that the A10 provides a bit more advanced level of competition than the MAAC.  Conversely, JC and staff should be credited for bringing in a group of players who at least on paper, appear like they should be able to perform well in the A10.

There are of course no guarantees.  Cheyenne Moore transferred from Clemson and had to be viewed as a disappointment.  Mixed opinions likely exist regarding the GW careers of Wynton Witherspoon (from Virginia Tech) and DJ Williams (DePaul).  (As a side note, at least Seth Greenberg isn't in Blacksburg anymore to potentially block the Basimile transfer.)

Nevertheless, the apparent advantage of having a roster stocked with players who once played for Nebraska, LSU, Maryland, Virginia Tech, Arizona, and UCONN is that you're bringing in players who are seemingly talented enough that major programs showed interest in them.  It's also telling that not a single one of these players are bringing with them the reputation of a malcontent or a bad influence.  Perhaps the lax transfer rules have brought about  a new type of transfer, one that arrives with little if any baggage.

So despite getting sucked in to petty discussions like why Battle transferred, I am truly excited by the recent developments.  If there is a Kenner League this year, it's just three months away.  The long countdown until November has started.

3 excellent additions in the last week incoming to GW

Good Rock connection and find FC and 0509. Rock was a solid guy and can help.
We need a shooter of his size. That's what we lost. Lot of playing time available for him. Fits perfectly with the other new recruits at GW.
