To be fair to the Dude, Patsos said on the broadcast that JB was fielding multiple P5 offers but decided to stay at GW.  Jimmy could've been confusing JB with Lindo too.

 

Is that what Pastos was saying? I know he was making noise with his vocal chords, but it mostly sounded like the backward masking on a 80´s heavy metal album.

patsos did say jb had calls from power 5 schools. maybe he meant lindo, maybe it was tampering

or of course, maybe patsos was just saying things

I agree with the tenor of this thread!!!! I thank James and hope that he can stay at the University and leverage his education to the n-th degree...I hope it pays off like it did  for Adama Kah

Good research.
Fascinating that Adama Kah achieved a lot at a comparatively young age for that level.
A GW player who not only made it hard for other teams to inbound the ball, but someone
whose accomplishments we can be real proud of.

It's going to be a fun year.
We are already bickering and spreading fake news about a cellar dweller A-10 team who just beat a bad D-3 and bad D-2 team. 
Things will get even funnier when we win the rest of our cupcake opponents before having to face the A-10.
Some here will have us penciled in as a top 4 seed in the tourney!
Raise High!

Bishop has 1 more year, after this year, of eligibility, correct?

 Correct. 

The Dude likely lives nowhere near Smith Center ... I think we all know that. California would be my guess. Just a hunch.

Glad for James who was absolutely in the zone, but think and hope he'd rather have a win and less points.
 

JB was interviewed by the Field of 68 about the performance and the year ahead: Horns up, Dogs down | The Field of 68 Daily (beehiiv.com)

Q: Your 44 points on Tuesday are the most by any D-I player this season and the most by a GW player since 1999. At what point in that game did you feel like it was going to be a big game?
James Bishop: I would say when I hit my first shot, seeing the ball go in early is big so when that first one went in I knew I would have it going.

Q: What was Coach Caputo's reaction? It would've been nice to enjoy a game like that and win, so what was the takeaway?
Bishop: He recognized there were a lot of things that we could have done better in that game, but he also was happy with how our team continued to fight and never let the scoreboard affect our effort. The goal is always to win, but we were able to take some positive things away from the game.

Q: Defense has been an issue thus far. What needs to improve for your team on that side of the ball?
Bishop: I would say we just have to continue to work on our pick and roll coverages. Just having guys in the correct spots at the correct times. We’ve been working on that in practice and watching in a lot in film. This will also improve the more we continue to play with one another.

Q: GW plays in the Diamond Head Classic over the Christmas holiday. Will it be weird to have Christmas and hit the beach afterward? Or will you guys even get to enjoy some surf and sun?
Bishop: It will definitely be a change of scenery for us, especially with how the weather is in December. But something we are all looking forward to. It’s always nice to get some nice weather in the middle of December.
