Big East 2024 Offseason

[DFW HOYA]

You've got to figure Cooley had a heart to heart with the kid, right?

Allen was one of three LSU players/recruits that followed former assistant Kevin Nickelberry when he arrived at Georgetown last year, along with Brandon Murray and Bradley Ezewiro.

Nickelberry is gone and all three now are as well. This led someone at the HoyaTalk board to dub them "the traveling Nickelberrys".

[Mr. Nielsen]

There will be multiple bidders for The Big East media deal.

FS1 needs the 100 plus windows, even though they are gaining some Big 12 basketball inventory. CBS/CBSSN has lost ACC and soon SEC games. They love buying 20 plus games from Fox Sports. Maybe in the new deal they will want 30.

Mr. Nielsen :
It would be excellent if CBS upped their Big East inventory, and put a few more games on their CBS Broadcast Network.

More Pete Gillen...

Cannot have too much Steve Lappas.

Excellent pick up for The Blue Jays. They also pick up 6-11 high schooler Brock Vice. The two are  High School teammates reuniting with Mason Miller currently at Creighton.

Pitino grinding hard on the recruiting circuit. Johnnies land an attractive prospect, Brady Dunlap. Bradys father was a long time D1 assistant and endorsed the move.

Johnnies also pick  up an excellent transfer

That’s crazy, the father of the player endorsed his son’s decision?

So, ESPN is cutting staff.  Fox just got hit with a huge bill with possibly more to come.   How will that impact the Big East's next media deal?

Tucker will be the lead-in show for  all big East games.

Creighton picks up another 2023 commit. Looks like an excellent prospect for The Blue Jays.

How does Shaka even compete with all these excellent pickups by all the other BEast teams? 

[jfp61]

In all seriousness. The best pickup of the day in the big east is Chuchill Abass for Depaul. https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/DePaul-lands-commitment-from-international-big-man-Churchill-Abass-209794046/ .

Shaka is even more excellent.

By being  Smart.

More St. Johns roster activity--

Incoming:  Another transfer from Iona 6'7" SF Sadiku Ibine Ayo, scored 2.5 ppg as a frosh.
Outgoing:  Jason Simpson--injured and little used--did not score in five appearances over two years.

Excellent article on Creighton late blooming recruit Sterling Knox.

As expected, Kaluma enters the transfer portal. Personally not surprised as he just had an off year. Pretty sure he got in his own head of how good he was.

Incoming Transfer Jonathan Lawson has a lot of potential as a replacement for Kaluma.

I think he had a lot of people whispering in his year this past season.  He’s got a bunch of talent, but played some really dumb basketball.

Creighton was also a horrible spot for him with the way their roster was constructed.

Id give him Omax spot

Penn transfer Jordan Dingle, the Ivy League Player of the Year and the nation’s second-leading scorer, has committed to St. John’s. Averaged 23.4 points last season.
