Kaleena Smith unofficial visit to UConn this weekend

that's simply not going to happen......only UConn can consistently attract top recruits to play in the Big East......

Creighton signed 3 Top 100 recruits from the Class of 2025, freshmen Jasmine Briscoe at ‘Nova and Ariel Little at St John’s are also Top 100

The key word I used is consistently........do you think any Big East team other than UConn and hopefully at some point Creighton will be ranked as a Top 20 team in this decade? I'd place a fairly large wager that the answer is no.........we went through this same charade in the AAC........these teams take one step forward and two steps back and are never able to turn the corner to become competitive nationally........UConn will always thrive under Geno from a recruiting standpoint but the competition for high-end talent has never been more competitive and a feeble Big East doesn't help the cause......

Do people WANT the Big East to be bad? I see stuff like the above and it sound like you’ve decided the Big East is not just bad, it will always be bad, now and forever with no chance to improve

Maybe folks should go to the Conference Realignment board and wallow in their misery there

I'm simply a realist..........as much as I'd love to see the Big East flourish as it once did, I have little confidence that will happen........

I think the big issue is NIL. After years of trying to work toward some kind of parity in NCAA CBB the NIL money is really going to narrow the field again. Time will tell.
