As a long time Hoya fan I was happy when Macklin signed but once I saw him play I knew he wouldn’t fit in the system. Now think about Macklin is not very skilled but very athletic and Florida is place where he can showcase that athleticism. He doesn’t have a go to post move (well if you want to count that sky hook go ahead). He can’t shoot, he doesn’t finish strong around the basket, he can’t shoot free throws, and he doesn’t pass well.

thi was a good move for him becasue he really didn fit in there offence well. He is a standout player if he get to show wat he can do. i palyed against him for two years and watched him play against the best so i know he got the talent.

Good luck, Vernon. Sharon, good to see Vern’s mom standing up for him. I’m sure he’s a nce guy, but if he doesn’t improve his free throws and mid range game, he won’t have a prayer of playing in the NBA.

nice to hear someone else speaking positive about vernon. he should not be recieving such hard and ugly words all across these gt opinion boards. i think it is wild and crazy. just because he has decided to leave to better his career and play the game he know his style why is he such a bad person. he is one of the nicest person you would want to meet. the hoyas fans out here need to grow up and be happy for him or those who have left in the past to go on to other schools where they are doing well today.

i am so glad that vernon is leaving georgetown. i would have to say john thompson III, will feel the difference once his good players leave from georgetown. vernon, a all american on top of many others things and a high recuit to georgetown, should have never sat the bench for 2 years and not showcase his talent to be a backup player for roy, just to make roy look good with points on the board to make it to the nba….john thompson, coaching skills need to change from that princeton obfense and let them guys play ball…their styles and they would have a much better team and operation.. i feel sorry for those guys there. they are not happy we on the outside think…vernon, grad. on you move and may god bless you. you will do well at another school and get a chance to showcase your talent…don’t look at this as 2 years you lost. look at the learning experience you can take from it and use at another school…. again best move ever you made…
