Not a good start to a Friday but as GWRising mentioned, there are others

Seeming like Ishmael to Georgetown

Like it or not (and I don't like it), once Ge**getown became interested, GW was toast.

What frontline recruits and transfers are still in play for us? The latter list is shrinking daily and the transfer portal closes on the 11th. Of course, there may big some bigs on Caputo's radar that we don't know about. 

Entering the transfer portal ends 5/11 not the ability to sign with a school

The signals don't portend well on Massoud. This guy saying he's going there, the radio silence on
hints, etc.
  But maybe he'll have a change of heart at the last minute and decide he doesn't want to potentially ride the bench for cowardly loser doormats of their league in a sad, empty cavernous arena, when he can just blocks away play with his Rookie Of The Year friend Max in an upbeat environment with a young, NBA player-maker Final Four Coach. Up to him.
     Meanwhile, let's land some good big men. The guy from England sounded perfect for him and us.

Gotta be honest, I am upset over this Massoud development.

I don't understand Massoud's decision here when you consider he got "lost in the shuffle" at his previous two BCS stops at Wake Forest and Kansas State, its very possible that the same will happen to him with Georgetown.

I doubt he’ll ride the pine.  Georgetown doesn’t have much on their roster. I’m not sure they have anyone up front besides Akok Akok and Ryan Motumbo.  Maybe I’m missing someone.  Cooley has a long rebuild coming his way.

As a parent/family member giving advice to a student athlete:
1. Georgetown, with it's outstanding academics, alumni base, job opportunities once bball is over, location, conference, coach (Cooley), etc.

or

2. GW - only thing that can match is location. All other factors fail to match up.

Not a difficult decision.

While your point is relevant, for a 1 year rental I don't think this matters as much.  Keithgreene has it right, Georgetown cut a bigger check for his services.

Let's give Cooley some credit for out-recruiting CC.  I wonder how Maximus feels about this.

Outrecruited?  Let's wake up people.

Rumored NIL amount:  $40,000.


Big enough that we can't realistically compete.  Massoud has a year left, then maybe a marginal career playing internationally.  This was an opportunity to cash in.  Plus, he still gets to hang with Max in DC.

Nothing not to get about this.
