G'town Adds a Good One

I had alluded to this possibility over the winter and now it appears to have happened. With Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert NBA-bound, Georgetown has scholarship openings and the Hoyas will use one on St. John's (Md.) forward Nikita Mescheriakov, according to a person close to the player. Mescheriakov, a 6-7 Belarus native who has been in the U.S. for one year, plans to sign a letter-of-intent in the near future. He is the younger brother of former GW standout Yegor Mescheriakov.

Aw crap! Yegor was a great Colonial, too bad his brother can't become one too.

Does this mean next year's editions of all the stories about how Georgetown has a coach named Thompson and a player named Ewing will now have to feature a line about "...but now they actually recruit white guys"?
