Terance Mann Talks Georgetown Visit

By JACK LeGWIN

Special to ZAGSBLOG

Georgetown had a slew of top players visit for their Midnight Madness, with Terance Mann headlining the top uncommitted players that took the trip.

The 40th ranked player in the Class of 2015 by ESPN, out of The Tilton School (N.H.), Mann currently holds offers from Georgetown, Florida, Boston College, VCU, Iowa State, Florida State and Rhode Island.

“Midnight Madness was good, that whole place was bumping, it was crazy,” Mann told SNY.tv. “It showed me that there are a lot of fans, and they really care about the basketball. They don’t have a great football team, so all of the kids go to the basketball games at the Verizon center.”

Currently, Mann says that he has no favorites, and that he will have visit to Florida State coming up soon, most likely over an up and coming break.

Bluiett Expected to Decide This Week

Former UCLA pledge Trevon Bluiett is expected to pick his new home sometime this week, his father told SNY.tv.

“Definitely by this week, I think we want to have it out the way, man,” Rey Blueitt said by phone.

The 6-foot-5 Indianapolis Park Tudor small forward is considering Butler, Memphis, Michigan State and Xavier.

Bluiett has had varying degrees of contact with each school in the past week.

He visited Xavier for a soccer game this past weekend following a visit to basketball practice there last week.
