Georgetown offers a scholarship to
Cam Hickman, and he's still listing the Hoyas ahead of us. I'm beginning to sense that the recruiting AI is subtle enough for a player to consider the players a recruit would compete with for playing time. Georgetown doesn't have a stud center on their roster, so Cam might be a starter there from his first day on campus. With us, he'd have to compete with
Roman Holloway, a five-star player who is only a year older. I'm going to continue recruiting Cam, but I'll be investigating a backup plan.
Anthony DiStefano picks up an offer from Syracuse, but he still has Villanova first on his list.
Matthew Washington also has a Georgetown offer in hand, but he also says we're his first choice.
It might be a bit of a long shot, but I'm going to pursue this Illinois product a bit more actively now:

Jordan Powell is a bigger scoring threat than Cam Hickman, but he's not quite as good a rebounder or rim protector. We will have some catching up to do with him, but we'll bring him to campus and send our coaches out to Chicagoland to visit him and his family.
