If I had to guess. No insider info.
The PF is Ladji Dembélé 
 

Sure seems like a solid pickup who has shown he can play well at the A-10 level.
Our analysts here like his stats, which show pretty good shooting.
And a player who has worked his way up from Canisius.
Also fits in well on a very Tre-oriented team, though may lead to some confusion.
  Certainly impressive on paper and look forward to Tre showing us his ability to replicate
what he did last year in the league. We just need him to continue and
hopefully even grow his performance.
  You never know, as Dukes probably wondered about Max, at least before he
played us.
  But on what we've seen with our own eyes and his stats, looks like a quite solid
pickup for CC and staff.

Jacoi to Longwood. Best of luck.


@portal_updates·16m  George Washington transfer Jacoi Hutchinson has committed to Longwood. The 6’3” sophomore appeared in 33 games, averaging 6.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.3 steals per game.

 
This is a solid, smart move for him.  He’s essentially taking a couple of steps down in League talent vs A-10  to reset himself and give himself a chance to show what he can do on a more consistent basis. He does his job and he can move back up if he wants to. To me this is a better strategy than Jun going to Rutgers where (in my opinion) he will have a struggle and not have the same chance to regroup.

Good for Jacoi. Longwood obviously got a good up close look at him in the Virgin Islands.

Not sure how to handle the fact that we now have three guys named Trey/Tre .

Good things come in Tres?

Let’s hope they all make lots of Tres

Is Tre our first intra-A10 transfer?

Missed Jacoi's commitment yesterday. I definitely think it's a step lower than he probably could have gone but it's a good opportunity for him to reassert himself at the Big South level with a new coach at Longwood.

Well our PF is no more. The clowns in admissions saw to that. He wanted to commit but he wasn't waiting until Moe, Larry and Curly in admissions figured it out. I won't say his name but somebody mentioned it up the thread relating to a Midwest PF. He's going elsewhere ... perhaps to a perennial top 10 program. Ugh. We make it really hard on ourselves at GW. Mostly self-inflicted. We say we want to win but the rest of the school needs to get on board. Some of our best players had issues with admissions. Had the current regime been in place, you never would have seen Yuta, Mescheriakov or Koul at GW. Wash rinse repeat. Just nonsensical when you consider that the same standards don't apply to the general student population.

Did they deny him or were they just taking too long

Some of both really. They took a long time to come to this bs conclusion.The sad part is when the kid plays elsewhere all of their "reasons" will look foolish.
