I 100% understand. Always appreciate your info

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops 4m
George Washington with a huge pickup in former Houston and NC State wing Terrance Arceneaux, source told @TheFieldOf68. Former Top 50 kid coming out of high school who has battled numerous injuries.

Physical wing who defends and rebounds.  Three seasons under Sampson at UH followed by a year playing for Wade at NC State for a season.  Not a classic three point shooter; more of a slasher on offense.  Exactly the kind of swing that CC has to be taking.  Managed to play 30 games last year and 40 the year before that though minutes have been limited.  Hopefully he's ready for an increase in workload.

Is this the Big12 guy?  (I think of him as Houston, too, but he did play ACC last year, so not positive it’s who you meant)

 To be clear, this was NOT who I meant. This one came out of Left field. We have another wing/guard from the Big 12 who I think is done. I knew Arceneaux was at NC State.

When you say who you think is done - do you mean done as in signed and sealed with us or done considering us?

Easy to lose in light of the daunting task of replacing 9 of the team's top 10 players from a year ago are two things:

1) Rafael Castro represents a tremendous story to sell high caliber recruits on.  A legitimate NBA prospect who wasn't given much of an opportunity to develop while at Providence.  Much harder to achieve that dream as the 8th man at a P5 rather than playing much more in the A10.  A player like Arceneaux undoubtedly heard all about this and is able to foresee a similar path.

2) We don't know an awful lot about Rougier-Roane, Chaudhri or N'landu.  The first two are redshirts who figure to play roles next season.  N'landu will be a freshman who may be relied upon more prominently than a typical CC freshman.  Add in Jean and Terance and at least we could roll out a starting five.  (Yes, I am counting on more signings.)

Pitt transfer Omari Witherspoon has committed to George Washington, source told ESPN. Really good pickup for the Revs. Former top-100 recruit averaged 7.5 points and 2.5 assists as a freshman. Had 19 against NC State in the ACC tournament.

First 3 transfers all look promising and I always prefer going the HM route of players that didnt play a ton vs. LM stars moving up IMO as this is where we've had success in the past (Armwood, Creek, Cavanaugh, Castro, etc) and LM stars aren't always guaranteed to succeed at a MM/HM. Keep em coming. VCU, SLU, Dayton all look like they will be beasts again next year to play with their moves so far (especially that pickup of Haynes to Dayton - he was a "SOB" to play against when he was at Mason a few years ago). Mason, Richmond, LUC, and St Joes also making nice moves early as well

Good to see the new pickups, who are most welcome. Keep 'em coming.
Now, we also do need some bigs.
We got caught last year after we were light on them--and Castro was injured.

I believe Vincent Chaudhri is now in the portal.

So to recap at this point:

Aranguren
Arceneaux
Witherspoon
Kossaras
Rougier-Roane
N'landau

Now have to address the frontcourt in a big way.
