John Fanta, wearing his BIG EAST Media hat, not part of his job at FOX Sports, visited Ed Cooley and your Georgetown Hoyas at the Thompson Athletic Center on the final stop of Fanta’s fantastically friendly fall conference campus tour (OK, I made that up).
As mentioned the other day, Fanta believes that “It’s pretty obvious at Georgetown that this team is I’ll go as far as Jayden Epps and Jay Heath take themand “Jayden Epps + Jay Heath have chemistry.” »

Styles’ potential remains untapped, but if he can play like he projected coming out of high school, this team’s ceiling could reach another level.
