Georgetown boots two stars off team

Looks like the Hoyas won't be dancing anytime soon.

I don’t know the story but good for them. You don’t see much accountability anymore in sports, nor life. Ewing seems like a no BS kinda dude to begin with.

This will be an interesting follow. I'll reserve praising GT for their actions until I see more. Suspicious to say the least.

 

[FireballZ]

Yeah - seems like the decision wasn’t really Georgetown’s, so nix my praise.

This is a crazy turn of events. It seems as if Akinjo leaving isn’t related to the kids with off-court issues, so GTown lumping him into the same release is just an awful thing to do.

I’ve been a fan of Akinjo’s game since he won Peach Jam with the Oakland program. Rumor was that he got star struck by Ewing after he de-committed from Connecticut and hastily chose GTown but has been looking to get back West. I wish we could get involved here because this kid is a total throw back Pitt guard, but I think geography isn’t our friend in this case

Akinjo may see the coming collapse of the Hoyas, and decided now was as good a time as any to jump off of a sinking ship.

There are a lot of things floating around, so who knows. It’s just unfortunate the school chose to lump him in with a guy with disciplinary issues. He’s going to be a hot commodity on the transfer market. Off the top of my head, UCLA would make a ton of sense if he’s trying to get back to California. Arizona too, depending on what happens to Mannion

There could also be some school or team serious disciplinary action against Akinjo also out there. Being a skeptic I wouldn't entirely dismiss that possibility.

Have to perform due diligence on Akinjo. He would be a huge help here. Seems like Capel did offer him but we were nowhere close. He'll have a ton of calls.

Could be interesting if there isn't any baggage--we don't know about that. If he transfers now he will be eligible to play 2nd semester of next season (2020-21) I believe.

I don’t believe that we’d have any chance. Of course you make a call, especially on a kid this talented, but I don’t believe we’d have any shot.

It would depend on academics and how cooperative GTown wants to be, but assuming that all lines up, he would be eligible second semester
