Georgetown basketball strengthens 2024-25 roster with major player reclassification

The Georgetown Hoyas and head basketball coach Ed Cooley got a significant addition to their 2024-25 roster on Friday with the commitment of 6-8 power forward Jayden Fort. Fort, who was originally a member of the class of 2025, was able to reclassify and join this year's Georgetown team and get on campus a season early.

Fort spoke to Colby Giacubeno of MadeHoops about choosing Georgetown and his decision to go to college a year early.

The biggest thing for me was how Coach Cooley has a plan for me,” Fort said. “They brought me in and were showing how they'd use me and it was straight love.”

“I'm going to redshirt this year and that's big time to me. I just don't think there's any better development for me than to be on a college campus. They showed me the players that they've had in the past at my position and almost every one of them went on to be all-conference dudes and pros. They see me developing exactly like those players. That proved to me that Coach Cooley knows what he's doing, especially at my position.”
