"Otto Porter is being discussed as an All- American" By whom?. As  one of what 150 potential All-American. Now I maybe mistaken but it appears you discount top 50 and top 100 players other then those at Georgetown. Now consistency maybe indicative of a lack of imagination, but I have never saw it that way

Georgetown is good every year.

Georgetown has finished in the top 6 in the BE once in the last 4 years, JTIII's finished in the top 6 once with his own
players.  I don't think anyone expected them to lose Hollis Thompson to the draft and I think that'll hurt.  One could pick apart Hoyahooligan's assessment of their guards more easily than one should be able to pick apart STJ's returning guards.  Dlo is the only player on either team who got any post season awards last year.  But there is that gaping chasm between #37 and #52 rankings on RSCI to think of.  (Rolls Eyes).   In his games Branch averaged more boards and more assists than Starks last year in 20% less minutes per game.  Small sample size but still with no one in GTowns backcourt coming close to Dlo so I would rank STJ's guards just a little bit better for now.  It doesn't matter anyway.  What matters is that first practice is less than two months away.


Have you been self medicating? They are always good. There are 64 teams that are good every year. Georgetown is one of them. Who gives a F where they finish in the BE? They dance. Nothing else matters.

Earlier the discussion was who were the top 6 in the BE.  GTown hasn't been very often, event though I agree they're almost always good.  Just apparently not top 6 in the BE good.  IOW they're always good, but rarely great..  Assumed you were trying to be part of the same discussion, i.e. who were the top 6 in the BE, when you said GTown was always good.   Didn't realize it was a Tourette's like statement not meant to add to the conversation at hand though I probably should have assumed as much biven who it came from.  Now back to the actual discussion.

What it was meant to do is to ask people like yourself to stop trying to make points that prove that Georgetown isn't a good program. They are. Cut it out already. It's pathetic.

The Scouts at the Kevin Durrant and Lebron James Skills Academies he participated in.

"Ok, I'm putting Otto Porter on official All America watch." -Drew Cannon

"C.J. McCollum, Elias Harris, Nate Wolters, and Adonis Thomas on the All-America watch list, too. Porter's been the best, though." -Drew Cannon

"Otto Porter might be an All-American, but DSR could potentially outplay everyone else on the Georgetown roster."

"NBA scout said Georgetown's Otto Porter was 'going to have a breakout year in the Big East.'

Virtually every scout I spoke with said they believe Porter could be a lottery pick in the 2013 draft. - Chad Ford(insider)

Oh, so besides the point where I said Georgetown was a good program, just not top 6 in the BE this year nor most of the past four years, that was in your either inebriated or disturbed mind meant to imply I didn't really believe Georgetown was a good program.  As long as you're clear on what I'm thinking even when I'm saying the opposite just in case I forget what was I was saying.
