Throughout June and heading into the all-important July recruiting period, Jeff Goodman and Jeff Borzello will take a look at the summer checklists for the top 50 programs in college basketball, as revealed in Goodman's preseason ballot published in late May. Goodman and Borzello will show you each roster the way the program's coaches are looking at it, projecting graduation/NBA casualties and areas of need ahead of 2016-17. Below is the summer guide for the Georgetown Hoyas.

Summer scenario
Georgetown plans to open a state-of-the-art practice facility on campus next spring, and the Hoyas are trying to bring in a loaded 2016 class to go along with it. They will definitely lose D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera, which is why the three biggest targets are all scoring point guards. They can sell extended minutes right off the bat, as well as a good supporting cast. Essentially, the Hoyas want a guard who can score and distribute; if not, they'll likely take two guards to replace Smith-Rivera and to add depth. Curtis Jones and Tony Carr are in the region, which will help the Hoyas' chances. Getting Cassius Winston out of Michigan could be difficult. Up front, Georgetown is preparing for the potential loss of sophomore Isaac Copeland. If he leaves, expect the Hoyas to turn up the heat on Sacha Killeya-Jones and Javin Montgomery-DeLaurier. They're also pursuing a handful of skilled big men who can fit into their offense effectively.
