Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Thompson III said it's unknown when Greg Whittington will return from an ACL injury. The Hoyas are under the assumption he won't play this season, but no one is ruling out that he could return at some point. "Some people come back in six months, some take a year," said Thompson III. "You have to figure, though, nine months if everything goes well." Whittington had to sit the second semester due to academics. But there are no longer issues with his eligibility, according to JT3.

Georgetown coach John Thompson III told ESPN.com that Greg Whittington is ahead of schedule, but he won't decide for months whether the junior forward will be able to return this season from a torn ACL.

"I don't know," Thompson said. "We have no idea if he'll be back this year or not. ... No decision has been made."

Whittington was slated to be an integral part of the Hoyas this season after averaging 12.1 points and seven rebounds through the first 13 games of last season. He was deemed academically ineligible for the remainder of the season, and tore the ACL in his left knee back in June.
