Big East Roster Updates

[hawk]

define mid-major.  Creighton is competitive in a major multi bid conference.  Going back to 1971 for a memory is insane.  I was 20 in '71 comparing me then to me now also makes no sense.  Going back to when MU had a hot decade as the norm for the program is also un realistic.  I graduated MU in '78, those were great days but mnot normative

Big man Manny Bates from NC State to Butler.  Butler has now reconfigured its entire front court with Ali Ali, Jaylen Thomas, and Bates.

Numerous BE teams have stepped it up in the transfer portal, Providence, Xavier, Butler, St. Johns, even Seton Hall.

MU has one transfer, who played at the NAIA level of competition and a player from New Zealand who nobody really knows a lot about except for Youtube clips.  Here's hoping Jones and Ross are extremely under rated in their class recruiting rankings and can contribute right away.  Justin Lewis situation should be resolved by 6/1/22, and another hope is that he stays or Shaka has promised a transfer portal candidate Lewis's spot if he leaves.

This is what I remember about Creighton when I was younger.

I was always fond of the Benoit Benjamin BlueJays.  Ben Walker era, too.

Yep, a mid major for sure. 

I thinks anyone who has called Creighton mid major is trying to get a get a rise out of people. I'd guess a 20 second internet search could find someone labeling Duke as a mid major. Probably the same people who think Alabama could win the NFC.

One year stop gap for a rebuilding program, Matta sure could have done worse.

Butler will 4 experienced transfers in. Similar to Year 1 Shaka strategy

Being?

There was no specific player mentioned as it was before the portal opened up. Many posters said Shaka would get one. I argued that there would be huge demand for any good big man and one would be hard to get. They believe or wanted to believe it was a done deal for a good big man.

1. Justin Lewis.
Gap
2. Efe Abogidi
Gap
3. Maybe Mouhamed gueye or leave a vacant scholarship

They won't really know which path it will be until after the combine. That ends May 22nd. They still want a 3-4 man 2023 HS class. So they really couldnt offer younger bigs. Part of the reason i believe Wrightsil was a clear priority. The frontcourt SR's were either worse than him or not really were great fits for this team. Also the players this year in the portal are just worse than last years.

Justin Lewis staying would be nice, but he is not an incoming portal big man.

Can Marquette be "The Next Creighton?"

You cannot get Final Fours and Championships taken away...unless you're Rick Pitino...so no Marquette thankfully cannot be the next Creighton.

[PointWarrior]

A bit premature, let's wait for Value Add or Kenpom to crown them champs first.

I too am eagerly awaiting for Ken Pom to tell me what to think about next year's team.

Sounds like an interesting prospect for The Johnnies.

That article also points out a couple of seasoned transfers that The Hall picked up.

Sounds like an excellent redshirt candidate with a ton of potential.

Could be Embid, could be Ooze, could be Mbao. Who knows. Worth a shot with the last scholarship

They could make the NIT next year

Another update. Butler with a pair of defensive minded impact transfers. A few depth additions for Georgetown, UConn, and Seton Hall. St. John's lands their version of Ben Gold.

Rosters are starting to get set but Seton Hall, DePaul, and Georgetown hit the portal late to try to keep themselves out of the cellar.

You still have Yetna for SHU on the outgoing list.

Hes coming back.

Does Wahab need to sit out a year with his transfer back to G'town? I'm assuming he used his 'free' transfer to leave G'town to go to Maryland so may have to sit this year. Anyone?

Maybe coaching change at Maryland allows to play?
