With just 13 overall wins in 28 games and a record
of 4-12 against the rest of the Big East, the Hoyas were becoming
the butt of many a joke in the league last season. Because
of that, the institution made a change at head coach, bringing
in John Thompson. No, not that John Thompson that led them
to success throughout the 1980's, but John Thompson the III.
This one comes over from Princeton where he led his alma mater
successfully over four campaigns and is bringing a new attitude
with him to Washington D.C. The son of the famed Hoya coach
loses standout forward Gerald Riley and his team-high 17 ppg,
but Brandon Bowman should be able to shoulder the load and
will likely add to his 15.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per contest
from 2003-04. Like Bowman, guard Ashanti Cook started every
game for the team and produced 9.2 points and a team-best
106 assists in the process, making him the perfect setup man
for newcomers like Cornelio Guibunda and local product Roy
Hibbert who need a strong leader on the court in order to
develop properly at the college level. Hibbert is a 7-2 giant
in the paint, who in his senior year of high school did it
all while Guibunda, an import from Mozambique, played high
school ball in Connecticut where he averaged 21 points, 15
boards and nine blocks last year. Even though there are some
promising prospects making their way through the system, the
fact remains that there are only two seniors on the roster
for the Hoyas this season and one of them (RaMell Ross) appeared
in just one game for four minutes last season. Learning the
Princeton offense won't happen over night, so the younger
Thompson could have his work cut out for him this season.
