Epps Decides to Portal

Jayden Epps, shooting vs. Syracuse.

When junior guard Jayden Epps signed with Georgetown around two years ago after his freshman season at Illinois, Hoya denizens knew they had a bucket-getter on their hands.

Over the course of two seasons, he did little to abuse that notion, averaging 18.5 points, 4.2 assists, 2.6 caroms per per game in 2023-24. Shooting slits were 39%/31%/76%, logged in 29 games, 28 starts. Those points landed him top in Blue and Gray, third in the BIG EAST.

Last year was somewhat truncated by unavailability - he lost 13 games due to injury and sickness - yet Epps, a Tidewater, VA area native, dropped nearly 13 ppg and just over two rebounds/assists, each time out, splits being 39%/34%/75%. Despite his challenges, foes still treated him like the scorer he is.

Well, that ability to receive Epps' points may come to an end for G'Town. Just one day before the transfer portal closes for entrance, Epps has entered it, signaling a desire, at minimum, to research other options.

Where could he go, what's his attractiveness among programs and approximately how much financial commitment was made to him in Georgetown silks? Get over to Premium Court.

If Epps in fact leaves, HC Ed Cooley and staff have to figure out how to adjust to his absence.

The Jayden Epps-Georgetown chapter is so complicated. Look no further than social media fan reaction.

Some are ready to jump, others are celebrating addition by subtraction.

He’s a good player and you are worse without him. But no, I don’t think it’s a huge deal. Onward!

Better at doing what, specifically?

Not getting a bucket

Yes being a lead guard (and that is a work in progress

After I saw epps change his game preseason to lead, in-season to strap, I gained MAD respect for him as s college scorer
