I think he has reached the point in his career where his high school ranking is irrelevant.

Unfortunately pitino is only a small turd compared to many like calapari, self, etc. i have been a serious uconn fan for 45 years. I watch every game even during the lowly ollie years. Big East tournament attendee from inception. Pitino is good for the big east same as sean miller the cheater

I agree, obviously he is not the offensive player that he was though to be. He's a good defender and rebounder who has played behind the best player in CBB the last couple of years. He was the team captain of Kentucky as a bench player. That says something. We need a backup for Oduro and this is going to be it. I'm pleased with this and it helps our team. I really wanted Somto but the NIL for foreign players and the visa ramifications is not something PC is comfortable getting into right now, based on a podcast Rich Coren did with the people in charge of our collective.

If it was true we offered him, it looks like we got lucky he thought he'd be better off with the squid.
Early in the season he was pressing and taking some poor shots. Once he took his shots in the flow of the game things.came together for him. He was money from elbow and foul line pull ups.

Why yes. I root for New England sports and it seemed like a unique name to me back when the web was starting up.
Compared to 2023:
12 - Marquette
1 - UConn
13 - Creighton
61 - Nova
20 - Xavier
55 - PC
78 - St. John's
58 - SH
123 - Butler
139 - Depaul
203 - Gtown
Average rank 58 for 2024 vs 69 for 2023.
FWIW.. I saw it a different way..It took awhile for Dan Hurley to trust Alleyne.. There was a vibe where Dan Hurley and NA were not on the same sheet of music and NA knew there was a quick hook if anything didn't go according to plan (per Dan Hurley).. Once Dan Hurley allowed NA to pay through an occasional mistake..Things worked out and NA was a very productive part of the march to the Tournament win..
Imo.. Alleyne going to St Johns was about the NIL.. However.. If there was a strong bond between Dan Hurley/NA.. Largely influenced by their mid-season challenges.. NA would have stayed for another run at Six.. I also believe that Dan Hurley and the staff is fully committed to the Fab Five and finding them minutes (as talked about during their recruitment) so Dan Hurley is willing to roll the dice on the new guys..

Has Cooley gotten anyone good at GT? Seems like after the hire there has been little noise down at DC
There isn’t a ton left as names re flying off the board and the portal is closed. Still players out there but the better ones committing fast. Will be interesting to see what Cooley does.

Not really, their roster looks not great for next year. Cooley is trying the same thing that worked with Carter/Hopkins by bringing in highly rated recruits that didn't play a ton at their respective schools as underclassmen in Dontrez Styles (#66 in '21), Jayden Epps (#72 in '22), and Rowan Brumbaugh (#89 in '22).
But Styles not playing really over 2 years means he's likely more Samson Johnson than Bryce Hopkins. Epps was a partial year starter for Illinois as a freshman, but he wasn't particularly impressive. He'll still probably be their best player. Rowan was a straight redshirt (poached without playing a game, shades of Corey Floyd).
They got a shooter in Massoud from K St.
The only noteworthy recruit is Kayvaun Mulready, whom Cooley brought over from Providence. #71 for 2024, so not even coming in this year. He did bring in Drew FIelder from '23, but he's not a top 100 recruit.

Looks like another Big East team is losing the NIL battle for a transfer…

I think Lance Ware with Nova trying to pull him away from PC.

Yes.
I honestly don't see Lance Ware being a good fit for Providence. They've added George Mason's Josh Oduro to start at the 5 while Rafael Castro is a solid developmental piece to back him up.
At the 4, Hopkins is the man and Gaines is a versatile two-way forward who can play both positions. Ware hasn't shown much in his three years at Kentucky to get too excited about, so personally, I doubt Providence fans are that concerned over losing Ware.
Their biggest need is still PG.

Yes this is the rumor. They wanted Ejiofor from KU but lost him to St. John’s. Stepped on the gas to add Ware.

According to Ron Harper Jr, apparently Georgetown has made a purchase off of Rutgers’ roster.

I’m honestly impressed with Georgetown’s NIL game. Ewing was landing impressive recruits and transfers as the worst coach in D1. It won’t be long before cheatin’ Ed Cooley puts all that money to better use.

Georgetown is Cam Spencer. That rumor seems to be about Nova outbidding PC for Ware

Sanogo and Hawkins should ofnstayed for one more season. That's just my honest opinion. I believe both will be drafted but see very limited time their first year before they get traded or not get picked up by any team at all.
