Georgetown Recruiting Class

Georgetown will try to return to its former glory under John Thompson III, who’s father coached the Hoyas when they won their only National Title in 1984. The Hoyas were one of the most feared teams in the nation when John Thompson coached the Hoyas to Final Four appearances in 1982, 1984, and 1985.

JT3 has already led Georgetown to a Final Four appearance last year and looks to continue this success in years to come. Building a powerhouse program starts with recruiting. Last year JT3 put together what scout.com considered to be the 13^th ranked recruiting class in the nation, which featured a pair of McDonald’s All-Americans. This year Georgetown was on its way to a top-10 recruiting class which featured 3 players in scout.com’s Top 100 and the ESPN Top 150.

However, Georgetown quickly jumped up for consideration of the top recruiting class in the nation when it got a commitment from 6-10 PF Greg Monroe. Monroe (Gretna, La.) is considered by some to be the best player in this year’s recruiting class. Now to look at the four commits Georgetown has received and why it is so good.

Greg Monroe (Gretna, La.) 6-10 PF ranked the best player in the nation by scout.com and number 5 overall on ESPN Top 150.

Henry Sims (Baltimore, Md.) 6-10 C ranked 43^rd overall by scout.com and 46^th overall on ESPN Top 150.

Chris Braswell (Chatham, Va.) 6-8 PF ranked 52^nd overall by scout.com and ranked 59^th overall on ESPN Top 150.

Jason Clark (Arlington, Va.) 6-3 G ranked 89^th overall by scout.com and ranked 32^nd overall on ESPN Top 150.

Four recruits committed thus far for Georgetown and all four are ranked in the top 59 players in the country for this recruiting class by ESPN Top 150 and all four are ranked in the top 89 players in this years recruiting class by scout.com. This is the recipe for success and potential will vault Georgetown back into the national spotlight, where they can compete for a national title year in and year out.
