In addition to scheduling, Georgetown released the players’ jersey numbers on Thursday. Hollis Thompson takes up the somewhat ignominious mantle of Vernon Macklin, Brandon Bowman, and Demetrius Hunter before him, donning the #1. Vee Sanford will be bombing from deep in the #11 jersey, while Jerrelle Benimon takes over #20 from Jason Clark, and Clark switches over to #21, previously sported by Jessie Sapp. Last, Ryan Dougherty, practice-squad transfer extraordinaire, gets a number this year, dusting off the #12 jersey last worn by Kevin Braswell.
It remains to be seen whether anyone will take up the Ewing-Mourning-Braswell-Lee Scruggs(?)-Hibbert-Wattad tradition (I’m sure I missed a few) of under-jersey T-shirts, but it can only be a good sign that no one followed Ron-Ron’s lead to rock #37.
