Georgetown Hoyas Associate Head Coach Jeff Battle spoke with Big East Vault this week, covering crucial aspects of the program, including transfers, freshmen, and more. For Hoyas fans eager for team updates and insider insights, this interview is a must-watch, especially for the details on Drew Fielder and Drew McKenna’s development.
Battle shared a mixed outlook for the team. While he acknowledged the lessons learned from last year’s difficulties, he offered no guarantees for improvement. The return of Jayde Epps, Drew Fielder, and Drew McKenna is promising, but Epps needs to enhance his defensive skills and leadership, which are critical for the team.
Battle stated, “Offensively we’ll be fine, but defensively is where we have to take the next big step.”
He also mentioned hope from new additions like offensive weapon Malik Mack and defensive specialist Micah Peavy, though their impact is yet to be determined. With the challenges of relying on freshmen in the BIG EAST and the unpredictable nature of the transfer portal, Battle left fans with more questions than answers about the season ahead.
