I think - and I know this may sound crazy to some - but I think it's possible to be a Georgetown fan that was looking for a change while at the same time finding a way to show some self control and not celebrate the fact that school had to part ways with the face of the program.

James Akinjo is the biggest Georgetown recruit in quite some time. Probably Otto.
Higher ranked recruits have come through since Otto but Georgetown has to shake the idea that point guards can't thrive on the Hilltop.

The debate about the better job in 2023- Georgetown or Providence - was literally just settled in real life.
