At 6-8, 190 pounds with guard skills, a post-up game, and the ability to stretch out toward the perimeter, Kevon Looney is a hot commodity in the Class of 2014.
Looking for a player in that mold, coach John Thompson III and the Georgetown staff had been on Looney's trail during the July recruiting period to add to their recruiting haul.
But it seems the road has come to an end.
According to Paul Biancardi of ESPN, Looney has trimmed his list to six schools--Duke, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Florida, Tennessee, and UCLA--meaning that the Hoyas will have to look elsewhere in 2014.
Looney has a skill set that many high-major programs covet, a player with size who can take players off the dribble and flex between the small forward and stretch-four position.
Without Looney, Georgetown still has a strong 2014 class, comprised of Isaac Copeland, L.J. Peak, and local guard Tre Campbell.
Sights likely focus on the Hoyas' next major prospect in the class, big man Elbert Robinson, a 6-11, 270-pound center from Texas.
Robinson would round out the group, giving the Hoyas a guard (Campbell), wing (Peak), forward (Copeland), and center (Robinson).

According to ESPN’s Paul Biancardi, Kevon Looney has trimmed his list to six schools and Michigan didn’t make the cut.
Looney’s final six are Duke, Florida, Michigan State, Tennessee, UCLA and Wisconsin.
Looney has long been considered a Duke lean but many thought the Wolverines could be in contention for an official visit after a summer push by the Wolverine coaching staff.
Michigan has four outstanding offers in the class to Devin Booker, Kameron Chatman, Trevon Bluiett and Vince Edwards. Bluiett announced that Michigan is in his final seven, Chatman is planning an official visit to Ann Arbor and Booker wants to take both of his parents on an official visit.
