Georgetown's player exodus continues with the announcement of a transfer from junior center Ryan Mutombo, per reports.
The son of former Georgetown All-American Dikembe Mutombo (I'91), Ryan chose Georgetown over offers at Arizona and Georgia in the fall of 2020. A backup to Qudus Wahab as a freshman, Mutombo scored a season high 15 points as a freshman against UMBC but saw his playing time diminish over the next two seasons. A throwback to the stationary centers of Georgetown's heyday, Mutombo saw even less time in Ed Cooley's first season at the Hilltop, scoring just 11 points over 15 games, and did not see any action in the final eight games of the season.
Though a junior athletically, Mutombo expects to graduate in 2024. In a
statement on Instagram, Mutombo remarked, "For three years now, I have had the great pleasure of being a student-athlete here at Georgetown University. This experience has been formative - a sentiment which I am sure to further reflect on in a longer format. As I cross the milestone of graduation, albeit in an abridged manner, I leave the many of you with my thanks. This community is special, and it is one which I have experienced the privilege of calling home for many years."
Mutombo's departure leaves just two scholarship players remaining from 2023-24 who saw any time last season.
With two days until the spring 2024 period closes in men's basketball, the NCAA transfer portal has taken its toll across the Big East.
