\nABOUT THE 2026-27 GEORGETOWN HOYAS<\/p>\n
\n\tOf the 15 student-athletes on Georgetown’s roster, six have suited up and played minutes for the Hoyas previously. Caleb Williams<\/a> and Mulready have the most experience of the returning GU players with 62 and 54 games, respectively for the duo. Vince Iwuchukwu<\/a> played 24 games a season ago while Seal Diouf<\/a> managed 12 games in his first season of action. Mason Moses<\/a> (3) and Michael Van Raaphorst<\/a> (9) have seen limited action for the Blue & Gray. Gabriel Landeira<\/a> returns to the squad after being a midseason addition last year. Landeira has yet to log minutes for Georgetown.
\n\tWilliams has started 47 of his 62 games played, connecting on 44.6% (150-336) of his attempts and pulling down 4.5 rpg over his first two seasons.
\n\tMulready took a big leap in his sophomore season, more than doubling his minutes to 16.7 mpg and producing 5.4 ppg in his sophomore campaign.
\n\tIwuchukwu is back with the Blue & Gray this season after averaging 11.6 ppg and 6.1 rpg and shooting 54.9% (96-175) from the floor last year.
\n\tThe Hoyas added eight new faces this year with Jackson, Lowe, Machot and Parker being joined by fellow transfers junior Vyctorius Miller<\/a> (Oklahoma State). In addition, Georgetown welcomes freshman Athan Olivier IV<\/a>, Justin Justin Caldwell<\/a> and Pedro Pastre<\/a>.
