#donedeal I believe is the appropriate terminology

Neptune doesn't know Jupiter from Uranus.

these guys?

[brewcity77]

Where did Goodman report that?

On his Twitter feed. He said Trey Alexander is his source. May have deleted it as I don't see it there anymore, but at least one person copy/pasted the Goodman tweet into their own feed.

[GoldenEagles03]

Trey Alexander back to Creighton.

Andre Jackson to the NBA.

Unrelated to Big East activity, but relevant to Marquette, Terrance Shannon Jr. back to Illinois.

Trey Alexander and Kalkbrenner were both on that dreaded end of second round draft zone . Got good advice to come back.

Trey Jackson back to Creighton, that is massive for them, and for the big east. 3 top ten teams now.

Trey Alexander is a good player, but guards that produce like him in college are all over the place.  Creighton needed him to come back because of how their roster is structured but he doesn't move the needle for me that much. I say that knowing people have him pegged as a 1st rounder next year and he very well may end up being that.  I just don't see the next level talent in his game.

This stat show Alexander is relatively elite in his production

He is better than tyler burton, i know that much.

Creighton hit a near home run this summer.

Based on college production last year, Creighton somehow improved at point guard with Ashworth. (I don't think he is better than Nembhard but last year is evidence of it)

They lost Kaluma sure, but he was always been rather overrated. Kaluma was clearly the weak link in their starting five.

Between Mason Miller and Isaac Traudt, they should have a viable 4 man with offensive talent.

And with Johnathan Lawson, the forward who doesn't start, Farbello, and Fredrick King becoming a sophomore they will actually have a viable bench for once.

We might end up having four top 10 teams with the way Nova has loaded up this offseason.

[The Equalizer]

We might end up having four top 10 teams with the way Nova has loaded up this offseason.

However, with the latest NBA draft withdrawals and portal moves, T-Rank only has one Big East team in the top 10.

#4 Creighton
#13 UConn
#14 Villanova
#16 MU

It's easier to see 4 top 10 teams at the start of the season than at the end.  Once these four teams play one another, someone has to take the loss in each game. And if any of the Big East's top 4 goes winless or 1-5 against the other three, they're going to fall out of the top 10.

And here's how they rank the rest of the Big East today:
#39 Xavier
#50 Providence
#55 Seton Hall
#79 St. Johns
#93 Butler
#132 DePaul
#144 Georgetown

U Conn has some strong opponents in non conference

In addition to Gonzaga , they are playing in the Jimmy V versus UNC and Empire which includes Texas and Indiana

Time to retire this anti-Italian slur.

Just reporting the facts.

[GoldenEagles03]

Will McNair to Providence.

Decent pickup.
