Never Got Going

[ASFN Admin]

When Duncan Powell popped for Georgetown over two weeks ago from Georgia Tech, a cog was widely believed to be secured for Georgetown MBB. A soon-to-be senior power forward self-dubbed Shag Man', Powell was heralded as an answer to rebounding and shooting needs.

Then just two days ago, that changed; Powell, standing 6'8", 256 pounds, issued the following tweet indicating any effort for him to enroll at Georgetown, had ended:

After careful consideration and discussion with my family, I have decided to decommit from Georgetown and reopen my recruitment.

This was not an easy decision, and I am extremely grateful for the support I’ve received throughout this process. I’m excited for the future.

What happened? To find out, based on a southeastern source and past knowledge of Georgetown's administrative policy,/penchant go to Premium Court. Interesting discussion accompanies it.

And then today came.

Apparently, Hoya rival and fellow BIG EAST member Providence stepped into the breach, gaining a commitment from Powell.

Was this a crushing defection, and where do HC Ed Cooley and staff go from here? Premium Court takes a stab.

His role will be different at PC than what he's done at GT. A guy who can be a 3rd/4th scoring option & consistently knock down corner 3s is a welcome addition to this lineup.

There's a dearth of decent 4 men right now & stealing one from a conference rival makes it a huge W.

Wow. I was really impressed with what I saw from him on film. I thought he was one of the top transfers entering the Big East despite not being ranked as high as others. https://t.co/zvSL4HWNxg

Duncan Powell to Georgetown is now a no-go. #Hoyas#HoyaSaxa
