Mourning linked to leaving

In news broken by Brandy Sims - @bls1969 - of Sentinel Newspapers and Mocovox, Georgetown junior forward Trey Mourning is believed to soon leave Georgetown. The son of Hoya great Alonzo Mourning joined the program three years ago and is believed to be on the verge of graduation, thereby allowing him to play immediately elsewhere at the Division I level (as a freshman he was a BIG EAST Academic All-Star).

Where may that be?

Different sources have supplied HoyaReport.com two possible destinations. For that, what likely may have precipitated this, and the rumored mindset of Mourning's father, see Premium Court.

Last year, Trey Mourning was credited with .8 points and .5 rebounds in 1.8 minutes over the course of 10 games. That work is similar to his previous two years on The Hilltop, where Mourning chipped in 1.5 points and a rebound in 20 contests during 2015-16, and contributed a freshman scoring average of 2 points, delivered in six games

As a college player Mourning was something of a tweener at the highest level; too small to play the pivot position which he was groomed for (his father's Hall of Fame utilization), and not quick enough to guard mobile forwards.

Mourning stands around 6'8" and weighs over 220 pounds, the latter evidencing weight room work. One chip in his favor is the ability to step out and hit open midrange jumpers.

For a team still reeling from the pending defection of current high school senior point guard Tremont Waters, without additional players being secured and if Mourning in fact leaves the Hoyas currently have nine scholarship competitors scheduled to suit up next season; - Akoy Agau, Marcus Derrickson, Jessie Govan - a trio that competed with Mourning for minutes - L.J. Peak, Jagan Mosely, Jonathan Mulmore, Kaleb Johnson, Tre Campbell and incoming frosh Antwan Walker. For those counting, that's nine of a possible 13 scholarship slots taken.
