Georgetown had two guys on the roster last season who were on their fifth year in college in the first place, so they had no chance to return by way of the new 5 years/5 seasons eligibility lawsuits. Both Langston Love and Jeremiah Williams were essentially bench options for the Hoyas last season, starting just eight times between the two, and Williams had seven of those and six of them were the final six games of the year. Williams averaged 5.9 points and 2.9 assists in a bit over 20 minutes a night, while Love was at 3.1 points in 12.5 minutes in 22 appearances. He essentially missed the last month and a half of the season, managing to scrape together 31 minutes in the Big East tournament to wrap up his time with the Hoyas.That moves us along to the players that Georgetown lost to the transfer portal. The two most notable losses are KJ Lewis and Malik Mack, as they were two of Georgetown’s three double digit scorers last season. Lewis led the team at 14.9 points/game and also added 5.1 rebounds, 2. assists, and 2.1 steals, but he’s at USC now. Mack is the transfer departure that’s most going to injure the Hoyas, not because losing his 13.6 points and team high 4.1 assists is a problem, but because now he’s at Providence. I would like to take a moment to merely let you revel in the idea of Mack going for 30 in a PC blow out win over Georgetown at the AMP this season, and think about what that Friartown crowd would be like.It seemed like Julius Halaifonua was turning into a dangerous big man in the Big East after putting up 9.5 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in 28 starts as a sophomore last year. We’ll never find out, because he’s at Oklahoma State now. Isaiah Abraham was a most of the time starter for Georgetown last year after transferring over from UConn, but I guess he’s looking for something else after averaging 4.8 points and 2.9 rebounds, because he’s joining Halaifonua in the Big 12, just at Kansas State instead. Jayden Fort had a decent redshirt freshman year after an injury, putting up 3.3 points and 3.2 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per game. He’s gone now, electing to end up at Charlotte even though he’s from Washington, D.C. I’m always fascinated by
