Big East Roster Updates

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Seton Hall and DePaul made the final 6 list for Memphis transfer and former #1 recruit in the country Emoni Bates, no announcement date yet. Other 4 finalists Michigan, Louisville, Arkansas and Eastern Michigan. EMU is the hometown school and Michigan allegedly isn't even recruiting him despite being on his list.

Sounds like DePaul and Louisville are the favorites.

Big if true. I trust your sources just curious where you heard this?

Mostly internet scuttlebutt, nothing close to the family or anything along that line. Like you said, Michigan isn't even recruiting him, EMU seems incredibly unlikely, and I'm not sure Arkansas even has space with everyone they've already taken in.

Creighton is an enormous problem for us next year.  They appear to have a F4 roster.  It's imperative we get back to the promised land.....and in a hurry.

Looks like a Duke insider who only makes predictions if he seems to know something put in a crystal ball for Louisville

Lock it up.  The crystal ball is always right

Guys from podunk cow towns are not game changing talent. It doesn't get much more podunk than where Scheiermann is from.

Define 'promised land. '    And why is it suddenly time sensitive?

Well, the guy from podunk town was ranked as the fourth best transfer by ESPN, so while he might not be a game changer, he's pretty good.  And Creighton was already top 10 without him; they now have FF potential.

I agree with this analysis

French Lick, IN, is a little more podunk than Aurora, NE. Fewer cows too.

The world is not in good shape Tower.  It's time to get back on track quickly and with a sense of urgency.  We should not be looking up at Creighton.  Ever.

The "promised land" is a threat to make a serious NCAA tournament run and a top 4 seed consistently.  Similar to the Buzz era.

Marquette has been a 3-seed 3 times this century and twice during the Buzz years

You found one from 50 years ago. Good job!

Exactly.  We need to flip this switch Uncle R.

Another round of updates. Lots of transfers at Georgetown (incoming ones this time), Hall trades three benchwarmers for a pair of brothers, Creighton and X pick up mid-major studs, and St. John's commits Big East on Big East crime.

Creighton has been an enormous problem for us for a while. Many consider them a mid major, so that shows where we are.

I think the Jalen Thomas pick up for  Butler is a good one. He will be an improvement over Bryce Golden who transferred out .

I hope he doesn't do better against us than Bryce Golden did in the first game last season.

LOL! Right? Okay, maybe Creighton was a mid major 20 years ago as was Gonzaga and Baylor. Maybe we missed the teal?  Contender in a top 4 conference, serious national title contender a couple of years ago, top 10 attendance..... yep mid major. 

If Creighton is mid major, what does that make MU, Illinois, Texas, Maryland, USC...?
