[QUOTE="kg01, post: 302558, member: 11"] Why root for him? Realistically, I always (well, I kinda) see Georgetown as an entity that has to operate in the same space as us. Similar recruits, etc. I want him to fall flat on his face for that reason. One thing I heard someone say w.r.t. Ewing and NBA-lifers going back to college was that, in order for college coaches to be successful, they have to recruit like assistants. Meaning, they gotta be willing to go wherever, whenever, how ever to get the recruits they want. That's not a life Ewing has ever experienced and the thought was that, at his age, that would/could get old really fast. Even Danny Manning proved it on a lower level and as a college asst before landing at Wake. All in all, the jury is still out on his prospects there. Now, can Ewing be the figurehead like Bayhime, Roy, etc.? Perhaps. But he'll have to have day 1 success on-court otherwise it'll be tough for assistants to sell his vision. The UNC's and Duke's of the world are machines that recruit to themselves to a degree. Georgetown doesn't have that cache anymore. [/QUOTE]
