Greg Whittington commits to Georgetown

Greg Whittington, a 6 foot 7 inch forward from Oakland Mills High School in Columbia, Maryland, gave a verbal commitment to Coach John Thompson III on Sunday.
Whittington is the fourth prospect in the 2011 recruiting class to verbally commit to Georgetown this year. Whittington is a two star recruit who averaged 23.5 points and 11.6 rebounds a game his senior year. He also lead his high school with a three-point percentage of 40.2.
Oakland Mills had a perfect regular season, and were 25-0 when they lost in the quarterfinals of the Maryland Division 2A South regional final.
Georgetown’s location was a key factor in Whittington’s recruitment. He was also receiving attention from Texas, Maryland, DePaul, and Clemson.
“I didn’t want to go to far away,” he said. “I’m close to home and my family and friends can come see me play.”
Whittington joins 4-star recruits Tyler Adams and Mikael Hopkins, and 3-star recruit Jabril Trawick.

can someone explain this star ranking system when it comes to recruits? And is it a disaster that we have no 5 star recruits? also what kind of ranking did freeman and wright have when they were recruited? and how bout lubick actually?
I’m assuming Chris is short for Christina, because no male should not be able to understand a 5 star prospect rating system.
I’ll spell it out though 1 star is the worst 5 star is the best.
Remind me how 2-Star Omar worked out again?
This guy actually doesn’t look bad. Check out some of his recruiting videos. A 6’9″ forward who shoots 40% from 3? Not bad.
40% won’t mean that much once hes playing against actual college defenses
Trawick was upgraded to a 4 star on the more recent ESPN rankings, as well as 93/100 compared to Hopkins and Adams at 92.
How many stars did Jonathan Wallace have?
