Never Too Early to Start Thinking About Next Year

So, here's a link to the blog of SI.com writer Luke Winn. Mr. Winn has picked the Hoyas as number 7 in his top ten teams of next year.

7. Georgetown: With UConn, Villanova and West Virginia all set to lose significant pieces, the new Beasts of the Big East will reside in D.C. Upsets of No. 1-ranked Duke (in January) and No. 2-seeded Ohio State (NCAA second round) this season may foreshadow greater things for the Hoyas, who have NBA-caliber talent in forward Jeff Green and center Roy Hibbert. The 7-2 Hibbert -- whom coach John Thompson III said he needed to teach how to run when he initially arrived on campus -- is only beginning to realize his potential.

  2. Fox has us at 8:

    8. Georgetown: If Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert both come back, the Hoyas will be a force in the Big East and could win the league in a down year. They lose Brandon Bowman and Ashanti Cook; but they gain far more than they lose, with incoming frosh DaJuan Summers, Vernon Macklin and guard Jeremiah Rivers.

  3. Fox has it all wrong. They should have said:

    They lose Darrell Owens and Ashanti Cook; but they gain far more than they lose, with senior Brandon Bowman graduating and incoming frosh Summers, Macklin, and Rivers!!!
