[M.S.G.]

DePaul grabbed Mac Etienne, he did a prep year at a small school I used to work at in CT.. the coach SWEARS he’s a good kid, just made a mistake..

Suffield Academy? He was highly ranked coming out of high school and UConn was in the mix at one point.

DePaul, where players go to suck.

I know chaos currently reigns and there are no rules, but leaving your team in August is quite the move.

Cooley's timing around talking with Georgetown and leaving PC for a conference rival raised some eyebrows.

Yes? I welcome anything that both makes Cooley look bad and upsets Providence fans.

He had to wait until he graduated to be able to transfer without sitting out.

yes it is, maybe 8 teams. Here's the list in no particular order.

1) UConn
2) Villanova
3) Creighton
4) Marquette
5) Providence
6) St. John's
7) Xavier
8) Georgetown

Georgetown and St. John's will have an adjustment period, but if Cooley and Pitino do the right things and work their systems in smoothly looking at the long term bigger picture instead short term, I think these 2 teams could be in the Top 25 or close to it by mid February.

DePaul and Butler won't do much, even though I love Posh Alexander. Seton Hall will be a pest considering Hollaway's tough in-your-face defense he demands.

Georgtown will be dreadful
