All it took was one visit during midnight madness for Greg Monroe to make up his mind. After spending the weekend in Washington DC, the Harvey, LA native verbally committed to the Georgetown Hoyas.
Considered by many as the #1 player in the Senior Class, Monroe was on only his second recruiting trip out of a planned 5 stops. Monroe had visited LSU and intended to check out Texas, Duke, and UConn in the coming weeks.
The sales pitch wasn’t that complicated for Hoyas coach John Thompson. All he had to do was mention the names Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning, Othella Harrington, and Roy Hibbert.
Monroe will be the next in a long line of stud big men to play for the Hoyas.
In past years Georgetown had been on the outside looking in, when it comes to big time high school recruits deciding which college to attend. That trend has officially ended with Greg Monroe joining current freshman Chris Wright and Austin Freeman. Kudos to John Thompson!

Dude, Monroe is a beast. I saw him play AAU ball this summer, he was tearin cats up.
He said he wasnt going to announce his college decision until the end of the year. Surprising that he declared already.
Go Greg, "u the man"!
