Big East 2024 Offseason

[nyg]

It is possible for Mr Cooley to pull an upset against a non DePaul team. Glad MU got its two big wins and stayed on serve

You have always been infactuated by Cooley, with your new moniker "Mr. Cooley"........whatever.

Goodman raging at this article.

Creighton continues to essentially play with 4 guys since Farabello doesnt provide much and McDermott doesn’t use the bench…
Seems like it’s catching up to them late in these games.

Nice win for Providence, who is also playing with essentially just its starters.

Has anyone had a worse year in ncaab, or at the very least in the BE than Garwey Dual?

The hype was massive, they were raving about him out of camp and he was a projected very high (lottery?) pick.
Not sure where he’s at now but it can’t be good, he’s stunk.

[Herman Cain]

Quality win for The Friars. McDermott needs to figure out a way to get some depth in his roster. I know he likes to redshirt freshman and hope it pays off in the future. However, I think they will need to buy some players in The Portal this year.

Well yeah, their 3 best players are gonna be gone. They will need a lot.

I also believe The blue Jays need to get their guys in the Weight Room. Two many 98 pound weaklings. They need more Charles Atlas types.

Hate to be a wet blanket, but we may need to do the same thing.

Who is leaving?   After all, assuming TKo and Oso are gone, 12 scholarships are already spoken for.

Cam is taking Memphis NIL money and hopefully we can run off Jolpin and Gold

Don't we always say that things have a way of working themselves out? There were a few transfers last year, and i could easily see a few transfers this year as well.

[tower912]

I disagree with the premise that MU needs an infusion of talent for next season.   Yes, it will be different without Oso and TKo and they will be missed.   However, every team has to start anew every season.   And even if Shaka does use the portal, it is extremely unlikely he finds equivalent talent and leadership.   

[PGsHeroes32]

We will just need one portal player. A PG for TK.

A Gold/Jop front court is a little scary. But Owens, Parham along with Zaire and chase can spell.

Kam, Stevie, Chase is a great veteran guard trio. With Tre and Zaide behind them.

Just need a main ball handler. Kam and Stevie can help but I don’t want them focusing on being points.

Good chance Tre is the main ball handler by next October.

I totally trust Shaka will get what we need.

Right, even without Kolek and Oso, there’s a lot to be excited about next year. Rotation full of guys in their 3rd and 4th years in the program. Shaka will bet on Gold to take a big step forward so little chance we add a big, especially with Parham and Hamilton already in the fold. I agree that we’re one guard short if Kolek leaves, so excited to see what Shaka would do there in that scenario.

[MU82]

The money-men who made Wojo disappear? All we need is for them to open the bag for Kolek. They have businesses begging for a million-dollar college spokesperson, right?

Problem solved!

Tyler will most likely be gone. rumor's recently posted here indicate Sean Jones won't be ready to start the season, and may not be ready to go at all next year. So... Who's your PG? ...and don't say Kam Jones, he HAS to play off the ball.

This would be a very poor option. I know that replacing TKO will be hard, but this would be a drop in talent at a "mammoth" proportion.

Don't forget Amadou and Hamilton in the front court.  Not sure what to expect from either but they will be part of the equation if they are here (which I expect them to be)

You want Stevie on the team?

[PGsHeroes32]

You want Stevie on the team?

All this time and you never knew Stevie is his nephew?

[Uncle Rico]

You want Stevie on the team?

Do I?  Yes, but I defer to scoop’s game thread ball knowers

Matt Norlander, who follows Big East closely, has Butler projected to make tournament. Coaching Matta..

He doesn't follow Bracketology closely though. I have Butler in, but Norlander tends to make declarative statements that are not at all rooted in current data or facts when it comes to who is in and out, and where those teams are seeded.

He's going to be a soph and our only real option until Sean comes back from his injury.

Prepare for it.

...Or you have a "project" transfer out (like Keeyan Itejere did last year) free up a scholarship and go find a one year player to allow Tre to develop and Sean to heal.
