Helen Cox center Greg Monroe, rated by many to be the nation's top senior prep basketball prospect, committed to Georgetown and Coach John Thompson III on Saturday morning.</p> Monroe concluded his official visit to the Hoyas' campus in Washington, D.C., by committing to the Big East Conference champions.</p> The announcement by Monroe, a Parade Magazine All-American and Louisiana's Mr. Basketball as a junior, came shortly before Monroe and his mother, Norma, flew home to New Orleans after a three-day visit to the nation's capital</p>
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a big Georgetown fan, have been for about 5 years, and this just pumps me up. I knew we were heavily in the running, but what a relief it is to come home from work and see that he's going to be a Hoya. Wow, just wow.</p>
Huge commit for Georgetown and good desicison by Monroe. Thompson knows a little something about coaching and developing big men. I would say this is a very good fit for both sides.</p>
