Big East Portal Additions

[Hey Adrien!]

Nice add by Xavier!

I respect Danny not raiding other Big East teams. However, everyone is doing it. Even McDermott. Puts him at a disadvantage.

McDermott is no longer the Creighton coach

I didn’t realize he had retired. Lost in all the March Madness noise…at least for me.

 

[Chonky]

Oh yeah…..
I kept getting mixed up because they said he will retire “after the season” when they were playing in the Crown (which IMHO if you’re in the crown the season is already over). Initially thought it meant he had one more year.

We are actively recruiting at least one Big East player.

Who said we weren't raiding other Big East teams?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

He certainly looks like a butler player.

For context, I've commented a few times that Hurley won't go after Big East portal players, especially SHU guys out of respect for that program. But I guess what that really means is he won't "poach" players like Pitino does--if a guy becomes a free agent who is available to everyone, that's different.

Yes I heard Hines from Seton Hall is our Big East target, younger version of Tarris with great hands

 

[Jaydumo20]

I want Hines. I'm trying to decrease my internet usage to BY only. Does anybody know if we are on him? Since he put himself in I doubt Shaheen would care

I mean…..according to random twitter guy we are. I’ll reserve judgement until hearing something more concrete.

 

[Chonky]

Danny. In the past.

 

[HooperScooper]

How about these players committing within a day of the portal opening? No tampering here.🤪

This feels like one of those code words families have established to let everyone know you've been abducted.

We are trying to get Hines on campus.

No, no, there is no tampering-that's silly talk. All of these players that committed only had conversations with the coaches during or after midnight on Tuesday, April 7th and never before that. These coaches are fast talkers and hard workers to the point they are not sleeping for 1 minute, that's how they can talk to 100 players 24/7 since April 7th and not a minute before that.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Good get for them against some big programs.

A LOT to like here and just what the doctor ordered:

Transfer Portal Film Room: Najai Hines

In this video, we break down Najai Hines’ transfer portal value, including his defensive impact, rebounding dominance, and offensive skill set. If you’re following college basketball recruiting, transfer portal rankings, or looking for underrated impact players, this is a name you need to know.

Statement pickup by Hodgson here

San Diego State guard, Mountain West DPOY Miles Byrd announces transfer destination

Is it? He regressed year over year. Likely wouldn’t be starting on any top 25 team

 

[FightOnCT]

He’s a top defensive player. It certainly is an attention grabbing add

That's a great pick up and it says Hodgson is going to have defense as a foundation of what they do.

The money Providence throws around is impressive.

 

[RuffRuff]

Good to see the Big East is losing kids like Acadien Lewis and KJ and picking up random guys off the SEC bottom feeders I've never heard of. Really moving in the right direction.

Byrd was a nice PU by PC.

Aren't Lewis and KJ the same player?

 

[FightOnCT]

Providence should be a tourney team if Hodgson is legit. They lost a lot but will have great key players to work with regardless.

Hines recruiting aside, watching Seton Hall and Sha rebuild every single year because of their inability to retain their best players is depressing. They’re getting no returns from what could’ve been a promising follow up to this year.

Otherwise Xavier should improve substantially next year, I like the pickup with LSU’s center. Marquette is the true wild card, have to see how Shaka adjusts. Butler - RIP.

I also thought so first but Acaden Lewis

Is he offensively good enough? The defense and shot blocking look great.

That is what I am wondering as well. I think he would be solid portal pickup. I have some other names I think would be better, but I will take that to another thread.
