We made a cutlist, albeit a "Final 7"

George Washington
Santa Barbara
DePaul
Utah State
Saint Joseph’s

Florida

6'11" 210 from Belgium

He has to look at our roster and see he will get some playing time.

His numbers at UMass and Georgia Tech were underwhelming.    Not sure we would be interested.

Trey, you always have to worry about going to his Dad's team, of course. But Trey is at the 
right level for now, certainly, to develop his game further and obviously, would get good advice from home.
 Also hope everyone thinks of the education and social advantages of staying on the same campus from
year to year. This is often overlooked in this crazy game of musical chairs for players.
   It was tough at the end of the season, but we've got a good framework to build on with the players we have now--and the ones we should get.

I consider it a shame that most of these players do not value their ability to get a college education at a great university for free.
Less than 3% of all Division I players will get an NBA Contract.

And a look at the transfer portal has mode the situation worse. 150 college basketball athletes have entered the portal, ending their scholarships at their original school. The top 100-150 will be picked up by other schools and will be fine.  The bulk will have to transfer down a level to a school more commensurate with their skill level. But many will not get picked up at all. Those students have lost their "free" college education. 

Will they pick a school and attend with regular student financial aid? Or will they end up working minimum wage jobs w=for the rest of your life?

If you are a walk-on at GWU and enter the portal, who is looking for you? Not UConn, nor Kentucky, nor UCLA, nor Purdue. Stay and get your degree and go dominate intramurals.

Just My Opinion
 

Why not get some money too? Maybe in a school environment you like more? Maybe play in a full gym? Bigger program? Yer 22 and ambitious take a chance you can always trade back down

Duquesne makes it official with Dru Joyce, Keith Dambrot's assistant and former high school player under Dambrot.  This of course makes Dru a high school teammate of one LeBron James and the two have remained close friends.

So, Bronny James to Duquesne?  It makes more sense than Bronny to the NBA, unless LeBron realizes he's running out of time to make his dream of playing in the NBA with his son come true.

Thanks for the info. Good to hear some positive news. Lets hope we' ve had some good NIL donations

6’11” Forward Providence transfer Rafael Castro to visit GW this weekend.

While we didn’t get him, it looks like GW State and Loyala didn’t either.

Rafael Castro Season Stats

PTS:   2.9
Rebs:  2.4
Assists:  0.2
FG percent:    67.8%

Babatunde Akinbola's season stats:

PTS:   3.8
Rebs:  5.8
Assists:  0.3
FG percent:    59.5

  Unless Castro is a defensive game changer,  you will forgive me for not getting too excited about this possible recruit.     I really hope that the bar is set higher than this.
