Big East Comings and Goings - May

April - Big East Comings and Goings

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Bouncy post forward and an elite shot blocker. Injury issues last year (shoulder).

For Butler, Bates would pair great with transfer Jalen Thomas for a very good defensive post pair. For Georgetown, Bates would allow Mutombo to develop at his own rate.

(There won't be a single gimmie game home or away in the BE this coming season).

Feel like Georgetown is probably out since they just got Akok

I wouldn't be surprised if they grab him, Manny Bates + Akok.

Butler would be my guess

Major transition on what the 5 spot will provide for Butler. Bryce Golden was a gifted, smart offensive player, but a terrible defender.

Between Bates and Georgia State transfer Jalen Thomas, Butler has a terrific defensive 1-2 punch at the 5 spot.

UConn builds teams to beat some of our competition. League teams know they need to deal with Sanogo, and possibly our future 5s as well. Makes sense.

Creighton lands Baylor Scheierman..

BE is going to be a monster league next year with all of the portal adds

[HuskyHawk]

Big East teams really loading up in the portal. The league has done very well.

Since the other thread got locked.

Seton Hall picks up transfer Al-Amir Dawes from Clemson. That makes how many transfers in for them?

Clemson transfer Al-Amir Dawes commits to Seton Hall

Clemson transfer Al-Amir Dawes has committed to Seton Hall. Dawes, who is from New Jersey will be coming home to play for new head coach Shaheen Holloway who brought St.

[Hey Adrien!]

With Georgetown adding Heath and Spears, I doubt Antoine Davis will end up at Georgetown.



Kansas State has five scholarship players, so he’d be primed for a ton of PT there.

I'm going to hate Creighton so much this year.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Butler with nice work in the portal this offseason:



The 6'4 175 Hunter averaged 6.2p, 2.1r, 2a, 46.2 fg% and a 43.6 3p% (after two seasons of around 30%) in 25.8 mpg. He's a native of Indianapolis.

He's a weird tweener: not a good enough shooter to be a 2 and not a good enough handler/distributor to be a 1.

He's a smart, system type of offensive player but I don't recall any major breakdown ability from when I saw Purdue play.

Butler now with a solid 8 man rotation with Bates/Thomas as their bigs, Ali as their 4 (all three of which are transfers), Lukosius and Taylor as their wings and Harris/Hunter/Tate are their guards.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

What an interesting roster at Seton Hall.

aNo "classic" PGs, but between Richmond/Dawes/Odukale/Harris they can roll out lineups with three "combo" guards.

Very good work from Holloway this offseason!

Creighton is stacked for next year

Who are the best all-time transfers in and out of every Big East school?

Who's the most significant men's college basketball player ever to transfer to play at every Big East school? Who's the one player who got away?

[Hey Adrien!]

Was #269 prospect from ‘21 class. 4.1 mpg last season. 6’8 230.

[gsmooth]

oh I see. I guess Maryland decided it wasn't worth it to keep paying him. That's just my guess that Maryland must have poached him with a money envelope. For purely basketball reasons, without money or anything else involved, it never made sense for him to leave GTown.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Kinda pathetic Ewing would take him back imo. But I guess he’s desperate enough.

Hard disagree.

Who wouldn't want an efficient, two-way big who can give you 20+ good minutes at the 5?
