In-Season Media Attention
Our GWHoops Community has pointed out on too many occasions when we fail to gain any media coverage. I think it’s important to note when we do.
Nice article in the Post.

Good to see. Channel 7 had nothing at 6. Though they did features Commanders speculation, etc.

He's often at games, but only occasionally there for the Post.

Re: In-Season Media Attention
Darren is a terrific contributor, with big games almost quietly, outside of the 38-point performance.
He has amazing versatility.
So far, we certainly seem to have a tremendous recruiting class this year, courtesy of CC and the staff.
Add a couple more parts in the spring and we could be looking at years of success.

The names do appear alphabetically but sure, Buchanan does go first.

Re: In-Season Media Attention
If I was watching this team 10 or 15 years ago, I would be really excited about how well we are playing with 4 freshmen and a sophomore in the regular rotation, thinking that we would be a Top 25 team in 2 or 3 years. But unfortunately, that's not the way it is today. Coaches must recruit, including their own players, every single year. And it's a lot harder for mid-majors than majors. I really hope Caputo can keep all 5 of those guys next year, but history suggests that won't happen. It is what it is.

Re: In-Season Media Attention
In the NIL conversation last night it was mentioned that they raised "in the mid six figures" in their first year. It's no ACC budget, but it's not like we're helpless. GW has a pretty wealthy alumni base and people are more comfortable spending their own money versus giving to their university to spend.

Re: In-Season Media Attention
I think some of the guys were brought in under the assumption they wouldn't be able to transfer again because they'd already transferred and that would allow for some stability and to have a more "traditional" approach to development. Obviously circumstances have changed now and it seems like players may be able to transfer multiple times. It's frustrating to build a team in a way you thought was taking advantage of the rules that existed when you recruited these guys and then being burned for it a few months later when the courts decide to step in and invalidate those rules

That's great news! Can you summarize what happened in the meeting? Someone asked in the NIL thread there too if you'd like to post it there instead to stay on topic

Except that NIL donations aren't tax deductible, but donations to the basketball team via the University are.

Re: In-Season Media Attention
I don’t think this podcast with CC got posted.
I was impressed by the host making an Andry Sola reference. He’s the guy who tipped the offensive rebound that led to Shawnta’s buzzer beating three against Xavier to win the A10.

He tried to play it off as a joke but the host definitely called us Georgetown by mistake.
Good pod otherwise.

Re: In-Season Media Attention
I'm planning on speaking with Zak Boisvert, CC and potentially a player later this week for a profile story I'm doing about ZB for one of my classes. I've already got a bunch of questions but if anyone has any questions they think I should ask, I'd love suggestions! They can be about ZB/his background or just the team in general

Re: In-Season Media Attention
Would be interesting to hear which one of the countries he’s scouted have surprised him with the amount of talent

Can you ask him why we keep giving up record setting three point shooting performances?
