Big East Comings and Goings

Uncertain if Moore can play this year, he transferred from IU in 2019

And sat a year. He is eligible right away for one graduate year.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Confirmed on Verbal Commits too.

Weird coincidence that Providence's two bigs this year will be La Salle transfers.

Serious shotblocker.

I’ve mentioned this before but 6’11” redshirt Raphael Castro is going to get serious run this year. He redshirted only because of the senior roster. I love the pickup of the new kid from LaSalle though. This from a URI fan:

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Between Bynum, Croswell, Breed and Goodine, Providence returns one starter and about 30% of their scoring.

Between three transfers and four HS prospects in the '21 and '22 classes, it'll be interesting to see how Cooley builds his lineups.

On Marquette: Between a NAIA player and an import from New Zealand, Shaka Smart took some unconventional routes to reload. On paper, my one gripe on Wrightsil is his inability to shoot threes (14.8% on 0.7 attempts/game) and only being 6'7.

Back to Providence, UConn should copy their move announce a trio of signings all on the same day: Young, Ramey and Dennis

PC is doing a great job capitalizing on Cooley’s award winning year

Given McDermott’s recent luck with transfers, I would not be surprised if this guy averaged 12 ppg on 40%+ shooting from 3 next year.

 

[Purple Stein]

Having just caught up on a month's worth of posts, what stands out in this thread is that Xavier is bringing a bunch of people back. Miller is doing a great job with PR.

Brycen Goodine is transferring from PC. Now I think Floyd is going to happen. He was on the PC campus yesterday.

PC gonna run out a lineup with four 6-3"/6-4" guards and Ed Crosswell.

Yes, you will blow us out next year

Titus and Tate finally going to talk about the Big East more outside of their Fox-mandated content.

I know this doesn't apply to UConn but other schools are allowed to play up to 13 scholarship players throughout a game..

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

So this whole "the difference between Providence and UConn is that at PC kids don't leave because it's a family environment" lasted, what, 72 hours?

I mean if you have to go 13 deep then its probably not a good roster. But I get your sentiment for sure.

Nah in this case Goodine was just never going to play and they probably wanted his scholarship back.

Friar's lectures on this subject were enlightening. I think they've only had 4 players transfer out of PC in the past year, same as UConn.

I think BG heard the footsteps

Hey, not everybody likes family.

In all seriousness, I have had a recurring mental image of him in a black Providence uniform since the day he entered the portal. No idea why, but I literally "see" him as a Friar.

I think your instincts/intuition are on the money.. Dad sat the Uncle down and explained to him how things are goin' down going forward.

It's not a good roster, or so I have read on here.

78 actually.

I mean I think PC has done well, don’t get me wrong. But there is quite a few of Friar Nation booking Final Four tickets already while I keep asking who their wings are.
