Georgetown just picked up a commitment from one of my favorite players and kids, St. Mark's junior forward Nate Lubick.

The skilled 6-foot-8 Lubick has come a long way in the last couple years and was pursued by a ton of high-major schools.

Lubick ultimately chose Georgetown over Michigan despite a major bond to John Beilein. He also looked at Virginia and Stanford.

``Coach (John) Thompson called it the Georgetown Matrix," Lubick said. "If you take basketball out of the equation, you've still got one of the best academic schools in the country. If you take out the academics, you've still got one of the top basketball programs. And if you take both out of the equation, you're still right in Washington, D.C. - the most powerful city in the country."

You've got to give Hoyas assistant Kenya Hunter, one of the elite young assistant coaches in the industry, a ton of credit on this one.
