Big East Comings and Goings - May

[Ricker]

I want Anglin to be the 'player to be named later' in the Akok trade. Such a great deep shooter and ball handler. I'll be surprised if he isn't important at Gtwn

Georgetown adds another transfer:

Bryson Mozone, 6’6 205 GR from SC Upstate, 15.8p, 5.7r, 1.3a, 38.6 3p% (about ½ ftas from three) in 33.2 mpg.

……..and he can probably run all day long if he gets 33.2 mpg.

Georgetown has become St. John's : a way-station with no long term planning.

Ticket sales next year haven't even been announced. There's a trend here.

And that's really too bad. IMO for the Big East to optimize it's branding and long term on court success it needs UConn, Nova, GTown, and St. John's to be perennially top 25 teams (added bonus would be DePaul/Marquette for Chicago market). UConn and Nova have the national recognition and respect and are blue bloods or elite programs with historical success. GTown and St. John's are in major cities and could captivate those cities on some level which in turn would give them some national prominence, but they just have not had the success to warrant that. People in NYC and DC will simply and easily turn their attention to the other many sports & entertainment options that exist within those cities.

I guess what I am really trying to say is, as UConn fans and BE fans, we should be pulling for GTown and St. John's to be successful year after year. Plus, it would help BE recruiting in NYC and DC area even more.

Maybe topless waitressing.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I kinda like their roster this year...it wouldn't surprise me if they finish in the 7/8 range. It also wouldn't surprise me if they go 0-20 again

Me too. Lots of mystery in how Ewing will build his rotations, but they certainly don't lack volume.

They're rich with guards (Harris/Anglin/Heath/Spears) and smaller wings (Murray/Mozone/Murray/Bristol/Riley).

I'm still lukewarm on their 4s/5s (Mutombo/Akok/Wilson/Ezewiro/Bass), but he needs just one of those guys to truly step up.

Personally, if Georgetown wants to take the next step, I'd expect Dante Harris to play less than what he has in the last two seasons (30+ mpg). 40.9 2p%, 26.8 3p% won't cut it for a Big East caliber starting guard.

If yelling “rebound” at the top of your lungs as many times as possible during every game constitutes great coaching, GTown will no doubt be at the top of the league this year.

UConn and Nova have the national recognition and respect and are blue bloods or elite programs with historical success.

I remember GTown having historical success and I think they won the NBE tournament 2020-21. While they had a really bad record last season, they were competitive in many games. They are not on the same level as Nova, but again, in the NBE, nobody but Creighton comes close in the past 6 years

I have little doubt that GTown and St Johns will be consistently strong very soon and watch out for DePaul.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Not a difference maker, but a good shooter:

Gotta be honest...don't understand that move at all

 

[CallMeBruce]

Gotta be honest...don't understand that move at all

He's going to start and play 30mpg at Pitt, and he'd never averaged 20mpg at Marquette.

 

[gsmooth]

Well he will get more minutes now that I think of it, but Pitt is such trash right now.

 

[rollskies]

Sorry if this has been posted already, but last I heard was that he was not coming back, so this is good news for Hall. They were a little thin in the front court especially with Obiagu graduating.

I had no idea he was even considering returning.

This is huge news for Seton Hall. I agree with everything you mentioned, in addition to Yetna's return allows him to start at the 4 and then forces a nice competition between Jackson and Samuel for minutes.

My guess is Seton Hall will add another 4/5, though. They can't enter 22-23 with just three players taller than 6'6 (Yetna, Jackson, Samuel).

[Hey Adrien!]

Excellent pick up this late in the off-season.

Gibson averaged 13.3p, 39 3p% and 1.3s at Oklahoma. Prior to that, was part of very good North Texas squads.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I love Ron Hunter. You should too.

 

[rip7774]

Who did Georgetown get most recently? I heard he was going to get 100K where he wanted to go but told GTown if they’d give 200K he’d go there. Crazy times man. This is from a great source too that was involved in the deal.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Another backcourt addition for DePaul. Caleb Murphy was a top-100 commit for USF and their 2nd highest recruit of all-time. Not a shooter, though (61 career 3pa at a 19.7% rate):

JFL is gone, but between Jalen Terry, Umoja Gibson, Zion Cruz and Caleb Murphy, DePaul has a solid backcourt.

 

[gtcam]

As I said - watch out for DePaul

 

[rip7774]

Is there a site that you can figure out who transferred out and who’s coming in To a team?

Interested to see what happened with some rosters and can’t tell who’s in or out of NBA draft with so many underclassmen participating. For instance, Memphis, they didn’t really recruit the HS class well and 247 only shows two transfers in but I thought they lost most of their team. Also wondering who’s in and out for Houston As they had a couple guys at the G league combine.

[Hey Adrien!]

Not a big surprise, but nice to see this confirmed.

Guess who’s back?
