"Source: Chicago State transfer Wesley Cardet is currently visiting Providence.

Averaged 18.7 PPG last season."

Big East is going to be a gauntlet.

Chicago State is an incredible program. Can't believe Providence might land a kid out of that program. Losing a first round pick and getting better in the process.

Are you implying that Providence potentially landing the best player from Chicago State somehow makes the Big East significantly stronger? Cardet isn't even a top 100 transfer.

Sleeping giant once they get that Ye NIL money.

I actually think Cardet is a very good add. His advanced numbers don't jump off the table, but that's largely because he played for a very bad team. Even still, he led the Cougars to their two highest kenpom ranks in over a decade and was always one of the most efficient players on an inefficient team despite also having high usage rates.

I do worry about him on the defensive end, but think he could be a productive offensive player for Providence. He won't be a highly regarded transfer simply because he's coming from Chicago State, but the kid can play.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

He must know they are next in line to join the Big East.

Are you mixing StLU up with St. Thomas?

[JakeBarnes]

Last year really wasn't loaded.

On certain Saturday nights before the ripe hour of 9pm, I'm usually loaded and ready for a 20pm bedtime

PG/SG Jaeden Zackery, a three-year starter at Boston College, commits to Clemson.
Local product, he prepped at Westosha Central.

According to Woelful, MU is at least kicking the tires on Tyrese Hunter.

If we don't go "big" I'd love this pick-up!

I'm not sure that's entirely up to date and/or accurate information.

Transfers from George Mason and East Carolina made the Big East significantly stronger. Why not Chicago State?

You understand the difference between an A10 school, an AAC school and one that can't find a home because it's such a bad program right?

Cardet was ranked #78 in class of 2021 by 247 Sports (#108 composite ranking), fwiw. Had some solid suitors coming out of prep school, but went to Samford and then transferred to Chicago St. where he has put up solid numbers.

Am I to understand that you think of Chicago State as equal to ECU or George Mason?

No one is saying anything aside from Cardet is a good player.

He outplayed everyone on Marquette aside from OMax in their head to head matchup last year.

He had 18 points on 7-14 shooting. He can play with this level of talent.

[Pakuni]

I'm not sure why it matters when it comes to an individual player.
George Mason isn't equal to Duke, but Tyler Kolek was a more impactful transfer than Jaemyn Brakefield or Henry Coleman.

I have no idea whether Cardet will help Providence or not. But the argument that he can't "because Chicago State" is silly.

Not really.  Equalizer brought up George Mason and East Carolina to make a comparison.

Every player on chicago state is worse than freshman year tyler kolek was at George mason.

Also, I just want to interject this key point too. Providence likely has bad/average coaching. Marquette has good coaching.

It honeslty has less to do with Cardet, and more to do with the place he is going to.

...when at Racine St Cats said MU was his dream school. I'm thinking Woj offered but things never aligned.

Good thing nobody compared anyone on Chicago State's roster to Kolek.

[WhiteTrash]

Not really.  Equalizer brought up George Mason and East Carolina to make a comparison.

Chicago State has to be one of the worst programs over the past 20 years.

That said, last year they did knock off Top 25 Northwestern on the road.

I think Wojo was too zeroed in on RJ Davis if memory recalls.

But that was a long time ago.

[GoldenEagles03]

He never said anything about one being better than the other, just used the comparison that mid major players can have success at a high major level.

Chicago State isn't mid major. That's the point. He may be a decent player, but comparing his situation to TK isn't really accurate.

Whatever. Chicago State won at Northwestern this year and Cardet also played well at Marquette.

He's good and Providence got better. All that matters.
