Not to worry, we have the same players coming back and can look forward to more 3 star recruits while Vill, St Johns,X and Gtown have top 10 classes coming in. S. Hall good class too. So, we will win some games next year, get into the tourney and lose early or maybe get lucky and get to the S 16.  SOS

Big East is a major. We are becoming a mid major

Who should Wojo kick off the team so he can recruit 4 and 5 stars for next year?

Ya, no...
But when the 2nd best game of the year is Xavier or Creighton instead of Syracuse, Notre Dame, Louisville, Pittsburgh, or Uconn, it leaves a hole in my fanbase. The great thing about the old Big East was there were enough big time schools that it didn't matter if 2 or 3 had a down year.
UConn is trash in the AAC. Pitt's program is lost in the ACC.

I posted my concerns on this very same topic a couple weeks ago.  Time will tell whether this is just a down year or a trend.  I fear that because of the lack of national coverage, respect and success by non-Nova schools, more and more recruits will choose to attend ESPN promoted conference schools.  I hope I am wrong, but the conference is definitely trending in the wrong direction.

Big East schools are on national tv every conference game.  Some big recruiting classes coming in.  Not very many departures.

Let's not forget though that if Nova wasn't around this conference would have been a joke for the last 6 years.

I understand that Cheeks and I hear you, but FOX is not ESPN.  High School kids, watch Sportscenter and ESPN, not Butler and DePaul on FS2.  I really don't think it is comparable....Hope I am wrong!!!

I'm not sure anyone watches Sportcenter anymore. It's not the 90's. That why ESPN had that major fail in SC6. They can't get it correct, because nobody watches.

Everyone knew this year was a rebuild, next year most teams have a lot coming back.

This. 

And a Big East team has won 2 of the last 3.

Probably forgot how bad the B10 was last year too.

And the Pac 12 last year and this year. And it was just a few years ago the SEC was garbage.

The chicken littles are out in force today.

This is losing its ring to it. National perception is Villanova is the huge fish in the small pond now I fear. Much like Gonzaga in the WCC.

Thing is, people don’t watch SportsCenter any more.  Those shows are way down because people can get their sports fix from the internet, apps, etc.

How old are you?  Do you need a box of depends?  This thinking was dated 20 years ago. 

Hint, High School kids watch each other on Instagram, ask your grandkids about this new-fangled thing called the internet.

And while you're at it, check out Morant and Howard talking to each other on Instagram, you might learn something.

ESPN only exists for old people.  No one under 25 even has cable, let alone watches ESPN.

It is more important for your coach to have a social media presence than getting praise on ESPN.

Do you have any idea how stupid and out of touch you sound by saying this about ESPN?  It is a comment about what a fossil you are.
