The story at Georgetown: campus is buzzing, and it does feel different here from years past. The vibe around the program is changed, and it will be far more accessible going forward. That’s why this hire was so critical. The doors to the program will be opened up.

Ed Cooley and Lee Reed are meeting with Georgetown players right now. Along with Cooley right now is assistant coach Ivan Thomas. Cooley offered all of his staff members at Providence the same roles in DC. I’m told that most are planning on joining him.

Cooley: “My goal is to meet every single student on this campus. You will see me working out, I will be in our cafeterias, I will check my players’ classes, you will see more of me than you have ever seen…I would like 80% of our students at every single game.”

Cooley is dealing. This might be the boldest line of the entire press conference. https://t.co/18K65wdWJh

GTown cracks me up because they’re about to commit several million $$ worth of NIL money to lure 17 year olds but are also hosting Cooley’s introductory press conference in a room that was probably used as the site of a talk about mid 19th century Kurdish poetry the day before. https://t.co/1yD0aEcZHw
