As a DC resident with connections to both Gonzaga and Prep and an awareness of who goes where, I know that 1.) A lot of Gonzaga kids go to Georgetown. (Years ago, a Gonzaga diploma guaranteed you acceptance at GU.) 2.) I also know that the last Gonzaga basketball players at GU were Robert Churchwell and Lamont Morgan.

The point of this is that Hart was not a good enough player in Georgetown's eyes to warrant heavily recruiting him. Your suggestion about "academics" has my head spinning a little. But maybe I am stuck thinking about the JT Jr regime and this is a new day at GU. Villanova might not be GU academically, but it isn't Louisville either. (I think this idea that GU backed off becuse of "academics" might be a little message board talk that is not supported by any real facts. The probability is that GU just underestimated Hart and missed on him.

Jay Wright on the other hand was willing to take a chance on these guys and to develop them.

I can't remember a Baltimore player at Georgetown after Reggie Williams. Either GU doesn't recruit Baltimore or no one in Baltimore is interested in Georgetown. Baltimore is 45 miles from DC, but a different world.
