Greg Monroe spurns Duke for Georgetown

At the top of Coach K's wish list for the class of 2008 was Greg Monroe, a 6'10" forward from Louisiana. But Monroe chose JT3 and Georgetown.

"The Hoyas, who weren't given much of a chance of landing Monroe over Duke and in-state LSU, took advantage of their success last season ? when Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert helped lead them to their first Final Four since 1985."

A few years ago it was Craig Esherick and Jahidi White. Now it's John Thompson III and Greg Monroe. It's a good time to be a Georgetown fan. Hoya Paranoia baby........

Even though the 'Nova fan in me doesn't like to see G'town get great talent, I'm inclined to think that I'd rather see that talent in the Big East (even if it is at G'town) than at Duke.

Monroe is a project who has very few offensive skills.

He will be pushed around for a few years.

Gettting this player should not make anyone excited.


Don't Hate!

YES!!!!!!

I love it when Coach krispycreme gets smacked down by a student who has character and integrity and knows you give that all up when you play for Mr. Trashmouth. This guys spews out more explatives per second than anyone else alive. You are what you speak, words speak louder than actions and words do mean things, so when Duke loses to a team that they should lose to, and then listen to him screaming obscenities at both his players and the officials, well that says everything.

Good for Greg Monroe for standing up for his principles and doing the right thing instead of selling your soul to the Devil and basically guaranteeing you never playing in the NBA. Other than Boozer and Battier, how are those NBA contracts working out for you, Duke player?

*the sound of crickets chirping*

That's what I thought...

"Duke is Duke, always on TV, more than 'Leave It To Beaver', reruns..."

Amen!
