Hello Hoyanation and friends, it's been a while. As of late, I've been thinking about doing a blog special on Hoyabound Jabril Trawick simply because of the success and hard work he has displayed so far this spring/offseason. Jabril has been playing nonstop basketball since his high school basketball ended in March.
Jabril definitely loves the game of basketball and is a very fierce competitor with lots of confidence. His mindset and intensity almost puts you in the mindset of a great Hoya and national champion Michael Graham. From Philly, New York and New Jersey Jabril has made big strides in every game and tournament he has played in winning dunk contests and MVP awards.
I think this its a great thing for Georgetown basketball and Hoyanation and friends. The work ethic, determination and the will to win is what it's all about with Jabril. Hoyanation should appreciate the type of student and player they now have.
Staying focused, humble and determined in the classroom and on the court Jabril will be very successful in life. Some recruiters that were there keeping track of the games were treating the game and sent me additional information, and I thank them for their expertise at hand.
I wanted to put all of his hard work and spring accomplishments into one format. The recruiters had many great things to say about the Hoyabound Jabril Trawick. He plans on spreading some of that Philly love to the DMV. He knows DC Is Our Playground!

Here's a new video of my son, Chavis, made by Francis Philip Waife. Philip has played with Chavis and he his one of Chavis' older friends. Philip was kind enough to do this video for me. You'll see his webstie at the end of the video, so please check him and his work. He does paintings also. You can see some more of his work on youtube.
The video starts of with me giving a speech to Lee District and my Mount Vernon Heat 12 & under after our championship loss in the Fairfax County Summer League. Some of the Chavis' youth and high school games are on display. Chavis' numbers were #1, #10 Mount Vernon freshman #12 Robert E. Lee sophomore. Here's the video. Enjoy!

Future Hoyas' #3 Mikael Hopkins and #23 Greg Whittington speak with media after Capital Classic game
Hoyanation and friends it has been a minute. First and foremost I would like to the founder of the Capital Classic Bob Geoghan and Five-Star Camp founder, Howard Garfinkel.
The Capital Classic is the longest-running high school basketball All-Star game in the United States. After its early success putting the top players in the Washington, DC area against the top players in the country, it spawned the McDonald’s All-American Game in 1978.
Since 1974, the Capital Classic has been a beacon in the Washington, DC community, showcasing some of the nation’s top high school basketball talent. The game has become a steppingstone for many college All-Americans, NBA All-Stars and Pro Basketball Hall of Fame recipients, such as Moses Malone, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Grant Hill, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Chris Paul and Dwight Howard.
For this year's Capital Classic the Georgetown Hoyas had two Hoya bound players Oakland Mill's Greg Whittington and DeMatha's Mikael Hopkins.
