Big East Roster Updates

[The Equalizer]

Slight MU connection on this one.  Corey Floyd Sr. was Bob Dukiet's most heralded recruit, but either didn't qualify or wasn't accepted by MU and wound up at Providence.  Jr. is transferring from UConn.

Andre Curbelo to St Johns BABY!!!

I can really see him thriving in a structured system where the coach focuses his talent toward a team oriented goal.

St John's is...not that.

Louisville's Noah Locke to Providence

6'2" CG, 9.6 ppg, ranked 87th out of HS. Spent three years at Florida before last season at Louisville. 

[We R Final Four]

Former Butler commit Connor Turnbull is deciding among Butler, SLU, Mizzou, and Iowa.

He is visiting all four schools.

Did he originally commit to Butler without visiting?

@JonRothstein: TCU transfer Francisco Farabello has committed to Creighton, per his Twitter page. Jays add another high IQ, multi positional perimeter player.

Sorry for the delay in updates. Andrei remained me that Paint Touches still owns all of my creative rights so I moved the tracker there. The link above will take you to the same page.

Lots of updates in the last 10 days. Butler got their Slavic sensation back, Creighton picked up a transfer from TCU, Providence got a trio of capable transfers to commit, Seton Hall lost all their potential COVID seniors to the draft besides Jamir Harris, St. John's added a walking turnover, UConn lost three more reserves to transfer but also picked up a big transfer, Xavier losing a  seldom used back up to the portal. I assume y'all know the Marquette updates

Is it me, or are Hurley, Holloway, and Matta a bit slow to fill the many vacancies on their respective rosters?

Cooley seems to realize that he needs players to fill his vacancies and has a bunch of incoming frosh as well as a couple of transfers.  Miller hasn't announced any newcomers, but Xavier returns most of the lineup and had two top 100 incoming freshmen who appear to be committed.

I would think there would be more urgency at UConn, Seton Hall and Butler.

I think the urgency is there for Butler they signed Ali Ali right out of the box. They just got one freshman they went in the portal to come back and they seem to be on all fronts trying to recruit a big. Still working on a decommit to recommit and also new prospects .

That speed of that commitment seems more a factor of Akron coach John Groce being a 3-time Matta assistant at Butler, Xavier and Ohio State than any underlying urgency by Matta.

I would think given how depleted those teams are they already have more commitments.

Turnbull has re-committed to Butler. Nice pick up for the Bulldogs.

[shoothoops]

Did he originally commit to Butler without visiting?

He visited before. But he wanted to visit again with the new staff.

Cooley's company shrinks by one. Brycen Goodine in the portal:

Seton Hall's Ryan Conway hits the portal.

Sat out as a freshman last year, 247 had him ranked as a 3*, #161 overall.

I think the Baltimore kid might follow Willard to Maryland if Willard will still have him.

Tracker updated. Most of them were posted here already. Only one that I thing didn't get a mention was UConn landing Nahiem Allenye from Virginia Tech. Guy was a starter for a solid Hokie squad, should play significant minutes for the Huskies.

Corey, Sr. was originally an MU signee but was not admitted to MU and ended up at a juco before going to the Friars.

I believe this is the first intra-conference transfer since the Big East changed their rules on the subject.
