Govan decides to go Blue and Grey
May 13, 2014 - This spring has been fruitful for John Thompson III and his Georgetown University staff, as Class of 2015 commitments have been rolling in. The second for Thompson et al is center Jessie Govan, 6'10", 263 pound pivot from New York.
According to media reports, Govan chose the Hoyas today over a host of other schools, including Seton Hall, Syracuse, Virginia, NC State, Pitt, Cincy, UConn and other offering institutions. Additional colleges such as Duke, Kentucky and OSU were monitoring Govan.
