A Moose favorite;

"The Hoyas lone commitment in the 2013 class could make an earlier push for playing time than had been previously anticipated due to the bind Georgetown finds them in with Whittington's injury. Being noted as an "exceptional shooter" one could see how a player like Cameron could come in and be able to contribute in some capacity right away.


Sharp shooting freshman Reggie Cameron could come in and earn minutes right away.

One thing Cameron would bring to the table is the ability to rebound the basketball effectively. As a senior at Hudson Catholic Cameron averaged 10.1 rebounds and 20.1 points per game while shooting 50% from beyond the arc. That desire to hit the boards on offense and defense could be enough to help push Cameron's minutes up during his freshman campaign. It is important to note that the Hoyas did not only lose Whittington's 12 points per game but also the seven rebounds he'd average per contest."

Coach speak by John Thompson or is Smith committed to getting in shape?

If he could do THAT, Ben Howland would still be coaching UCLA....

But if he really does, G'Town might coast to a league title.  An in-shape Josh Smith would be as unstoppable as The Hulk - but JUST as unlikely to show up real life.

“@BrendanPrunty: Hopefully new Big East does the right (and smart) thing and hires John Paquette yesterday. Would be an invaluable asset for a new league.”

There are plenty of rumblings that a lot of BE ppl from Providence office will be coming to NY anyway so this might have already been in the hopper.

Funny how Bigeast.org is now just an advertisement for the AAC.  When do they give up the web address?
