Copeland transferring from Georgetown

Georgetown's Isaac Copeland will transfer, per school. Had seen his role decrease lately. Highly touted recruit.

Seemed to get worse every year.

Georgetown basketball’s Isaac Copeland to transfer – Washington Post - December 12, 2016 - 6:48 PM

The arrival of graduate transfer Rodney Pryor in addition to elevated minutes this season for reserves Marcus Derrickson and Kaleb Johnson left Thompson less room in the rotation for Copeland, who is averaging 5.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 19.6 minutes. Last season, Copeland averaged 32 minutes, the second most on the Hoyas, as well as 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds.

Pryor leads Georgetown in scoring this season (20.6 points per game) and is second in minutes behind guard L.J. Peak.

Probably the best. He may get a medical redshirt (facial injury) this year and have 2years of eligibility at his next stop.

Fell out of the rotation behind Agau and Derrickson. Major liability on defense and his offense has regressed. We have actually looked competent defensively since he went down.

Always seemed like a good kid. I hope he works his butt off to get his stroke back and tighten his handle. The time off may do him wonders.

Defensive liability.

So far this year has shot 27.5% from the field and 0% from 3 this year.

Hurts just because there was always so much potential, but didn't seem like he was ever going to realize it.

Don't think it will hurt that much this year. Next year could hurt as we lose pryor and Hayes and could lose Peak with the season he's been having.

I see this as a positive

next level talent but seemed to lack that competitive fire. I think it's wise to turn the page on that recruiting class.

I thought he was pretty good, but if GT fans don't care, then I guess no big deal.

Archie Miller is known to be looking for another PF to add to Dayton’s Roster. It is unknown if there is/will be any mutual interest.

It is unlikely that Isaac Copeland is transferring with the intention of being a reserve player on good Power 5 conference team.

Former Hoya Vee Sanford had a memorable two years as a Dayton Flyer.

Thad Matta will remember him for a long time as well.

I don't think he would be good enough for one of the blue bloods since they could just recruit a 5 star freshman for any open spots without using a scholarship on someone who has to sit out a year. Most coaches outside of that would probably love the opportunity to try and coach him up unless he is a serious headcase. I could definitely see a solid coach like Archie or someone nearby like Tony Bennet turning his career around. If he doesn't have a great attitude I see him trying to be a star at a mid level school and not hearing much about him.

I was wrong about Copeland. That was a great recruiting year for the conference and I thought Copeland was going to be the best of the bunch. Just seemed to lock the fire and drive to be great. Mirrored his coach in many ways. He has all the tools but seemed either soft or apathetic. What could have been... hope he figures it out and ends up in a better spot to succeed.
