Georgetown Adds Rutgers Transfer
Seeking to address depth in the backcourt, Georgetown has added 6-4 guard Jeremiah Williams, late of Rutgers.
The announcement was made on Williams' social media account, with the headline "Last Ride".One of the last of the COVID-19 era guards still in college basketball, Williams makes Georgetown his fifth and final stop in a college career that dates to the fall of 2020, where the Chicago native signed with Temple, averaging 9.4 ppg in 37 starts over two seasons. His career took some unfortunate turns thereafter.
Transferring to Iowa State, Williams missed the 2022-23 season with an Achilles tear. He transferred to Illinois in May 2023 but transferred a month later to Rutgers. His arrival at Rutgers was halted by an arrest in September 2023 for gambling on college basketball games while enrolled at Iowa State.
A total of 17 players across multiple ISU teams and five football staff members were charged, with Williams pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of underage gambling, which carried a $645 fine and a 15 game NCAA suspension for the 2023-24 season. A temporary restraining order filed by Williams was granted and allowed him to join the Scarlet Knights in February 2024, playing 12 games that season.
"Williams impressed in his first season as a Scarlet Knight, averaging 12.2 points on 44.4% shooting...during the final 12 games of the campaign," wrote NJ.com. "He was unable to replicate that production this winter, showing significant regression while playing alongside five-star freshmen Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey.". Williams averaged 7.0 points and 2.9 points for the season, announcing a transfer at the end of March. He was sought by Nebraska, Xavier, VCU, and George Washington, according to reports.
The addition provides further depth to a crowded lineup in the Georgetown backcourt, with two rising sophomores (Malik Mack, Kayvaun Mulready), three other portal arrivals (K.J. Lewis, Langston Love, DeShawn Harris-Smith), and up to four walk-ons (Austin Montgomery, Hashem Asadallah, Michael Van Raaphorst, Mason Moses) all seeking time next season. Williams is not an outside shooter (averaging 26 percent over his prior four seasons) but can provide support where Mack is the only returning ball handler from 2024-25.
The basketball office has not commented on the addition.
6'4 G Jeremiah Williams is one of the TOUGHEST guards in the PORTAL!! He averaged 7.0/2.0/2.9/1.3 for Rutgers this season and was one of the best guards in the BIG 10 in 2023-24, when he averaged:

Fox Sports To Join Streaming App
The Fox Sports networks will be a part of a new streaming service this fall.
The new service, "Fox One", will bundle the various Fox cable networks on a streaming app. In a press conference Monday, officials noted that the package will be available free of charge to existing cable customers but that a app-only subscription will be a premium price, so as not to accelerate the loss of cable subscribers which supports Fox News and its other properties.Big East games will be seen on a variety of platforms beginning next fall, including Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, Warner Bros Discovery's TNT and TBS cable networks, and NBC's Peacock, a streaming-only service.
The Waiting Game
Georgetown's 2025-26 rebuild is highly dependent on Thomas Sorber's NBA draft decision, likely within the next two weeks. Where does he place on various mock drafts?
Here's a sample from latest draft predictions:- NBA Draft.net: 8th pick to the San Antonio Spurs. This appears to be an outlier.
