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.

They were seen hanging out the day after Massoud’s visit to Georgetown

One guy I don't think has been mentioned here is Steve Settle from Howard. He tweeted yesterday that his recruitment is still open and I think three years of D1 experience can translate up to the A10. Settle had a 15-5-5 stat line against us last year, scored 13 against Kansas in the NCAA tournament, and also did well against other A10 teams (10 against La Salle, 18 against VCU). He's a little skinny and doesn't have a consistent three point shot yet, but he's local and has averaged double figures all three years of college (to go with 6 boards last season). Howard wasn't outright terrible either as they finished right below GW in KenPom.

The Portal Report @ThePortalReport 3m
Howard (D1) transfer Steve Settle III told @ThePortalReport that he will commit "sometime within the next week."
Settle has visited George Washington and Towson and has a visit to Temple scheduled for next Wednesday, May 10.

Georgetown 89-127 the last 7 years. Yeah it's a difficult decision for one year. Georgetown also isn't the school it once was except for those looking in the rearview mirror. NIL probably made the difference.

Well, that "settles" that, I am corrected  - no pun intended.

Not only NIL.    Everything else being equal, Ge**getown is in the Big East with its Big East schedule and its Big East TV contract, and GW and the A-10 generally can't compete with that.

No blame on CC here.

CC is the Kia car salesman while Cooley is the BMW car salesman.

What car do you think a college kid is going to buy if he had his choice?

Some here just refuse to believe we aren't in the same class as GTown - not even on the same planet.

As for Settle's, we hopefully can and should be able to compete with the Towson's of the world.

Hard Agree on Each Point!

So with Weluche-Ume, who can play wing or small ball 5, signed, correct me if I’m wrong but the roster is now:

Bishop
Jacoi
Autry
Jones
Maximus
Schroder
Buchanan
Garrett Johnson
Weluch-Ume
Keegan Harvey

So that leaves 3 scholarships available.  Hopefully 1-2 bigs (a true big like Favour Aire or both Aire and Settles would be nice) and 1 more guard to give us some experienced hall handling and shooting. 

Did I get it right?

Roster shaping up with a lot of potential amongst guys who have not yet played or played VERY little.... now lets scoop up some transfers!!

Here is a question for those who are much more informed than me. When recruits are considering a school, they know who is on the team and who have committed. Do coaches say something to the effect, we are close to getting player A or a player with this type of game?  This may entice or turn off the recruit? I imagine it must be said at times, but how frequently is this done?  Is it generally effective?  Some recruits may see this as being recruited over in the very same class.
