Nigerian big man commits to Hoyas
6-foot-9 center Moses Abraham verbally committed to Georgetown on Thursday after returning from a two-day official visit to Indiana, the Washington Post is reporting.

According to Abraham's adviser, Joe Boncore, he and Moses had a "long talk" with Georgetown Coach John Thompson III and his father, former Hoya coach John Thompson II, and following that conversation Abraham decided to commit.

ESPN.com describes Abraham as a "tremendously athletic center/power forward whose defense is ahead of his offense at this stage.

"He needs to continue to develop his offensive skills around the basket, incuding his back to the basket game, but on defense he's a real force, blocking and altering shots as well as cleaning up the boards. While he's still raw offensively his athleticism makes up for a current lack of skill. He may not be an impact freshman his first year but with continued development he could become a big contributor by his second year."

Abraham joins two ESPNU 100 prospects Nate Lubick and Markel Starks along with Aaron Bowen in the Hoyas' 2010 class.

This pretty much sucks.

So I assume he didn't reclassify to the class of 2011? If so - then we missed out - if he did then it's not a big deal.

We backed off, supposedly. Either way he probably won't play next year so he wouldnt be able to help anyways.

Yeah guess missing out on a four star big man we need is no big deal. I could also see how you would think if Harris could de comit someway and we lost him that it would also be no big deal. You could also argue that if Pearl left for another coaching job it would be no big deal either.You could probably throw in there if we didnt make the NCAA tournament that it would be no big deal either.

Wow. Calm down and stop with the name calling. Maybe this is no biggie to him (I'm not stressing over it, either) because it's been expected he would commit to G'town for awhile now, hasn't it? That was my understanding...

it would have been nice to get him but since we didnt its no big deal,maybe you could learn that if you didnt cry about every possibility of getting a commit.i would have loved to have him but we didnt get him so its no big deal to me but it may be a big deal to you since you take this internet board seriously,and we have jeronne maymon coming soo please try not to jump off the cliff over every kid we didnt get, or maybe see the sunlight instead of posting on both volnation and ohio state boards.

You cant catch the sarcasm in my post. LMAO I was making fun of yours where you said no biggie, meaning it would be no big deal if any of things I listed COULD OR WOULD happen.

Stupidest thread of the week. Not the original information, per se, but the content thereafter. Congratulations on a band up job guys, and thanks for having your conference at the Airport Hilton!

Yes. Stories of us backing off and then also a story that Bruce watched him play a game in which he scored only 2 points. Not sure about how true those are, but Georgetown was considered a HEAVY favorite from the beginning.

Also, there are rumors we are interested in another big. But I am not sure about that either.
