Georgetown
reserve sophomore and former McDonald's All-American Vernon Macklin is
transferring out of the program, according to sources close to the situation.
The 6-foot-9, 230-pound athletic big man played sparingly behind Roy
Hibbert in his first two seasons in college. Hibbert graduated after this past
season, but the Hoyas will bring in one of the most talented frontcourt players
in the country in skilled freshman Greg Monroe.
Macklin averaged 3.4
points and 2.1 rebounds this past season while playing 12.8 minutes per game.
Macklin looked lost in the Georgetown offense, so this is no real surprise. What's surprising is using the adjective "skilled" to describe Greg Monroe. He can't shoot, and I've never seen him pass or dribble. Monroe is tall and athletic -- physical qualities that apparently pass as skills in the author's eyes.
