Pretty sure those rumors are just the result of bitter Providence fans trolling on Twitter, but could still hold things up if Mack really was about to commit.
Georgetown has a lot going for it on paper, but the basketball part of the equation is still a big question mark. Cooley isn't a great offensive coach himself, with the difference being that the ball wouldn't be in Mack's hands quite as much. And I'm not sure anyone they're trying to bring in would do much to help their catastrophically bad KP 322 defense from last year. It is true that they have a top 20 class of freshmen coming in, but not clear how much those guys will be ready to contribute in Year 1 in a tough Big East. All of which is to say that there's going to be a ton of pressure on whichever transfers they do bring in to drastically turn around what was a non-competitive team, playing in a moribund stadium, for a coach who could very well get fired if they aren't at least respectable next year. I could understand why someone would be hesitant about signing up for that, even if all the non-basketball stuff (money, playing in front of their family, still-good academics) was compelling.
