Georgetown Hoyas

Deep in the heart of the DMV, the Georgetown Hoyas are emerging as a national powerhouse. The Hoyas are 7-3 under head coach Patrick Ewing and looking like a team on the verge of a turning point in Year 2.

Freshmen James Akinjo, Mac McClung and Josh LeBlanc have this team headed in the right direction, but they’ll still need more going forward.

Big man Jessie Govan will be gone after this season, leaving a big hole in the Hoyas’ frontcourt production. Omer Yurtseven is waiting in the wings since transferring from the NC State Wolfpack. He’ll have two years left starting in 2019-20.

6-foot-11 center Malcolm Wilson, a three-star prospect, is one of two prospects already signed to their 2019 recruiting class, but they’re still going to need more.

Adding Wahab could shore up their frontcourt recruiting for the next few seasons. He’s a player that could put the traditional big man back on the map at Georgetown, following in Govan’s footsteps.
