And we're all hoping that Sanchez is high on that list by season's end.

For the first few games, I'm fine with that, but if when Jordan, Sanchez, Hooper or Branch come into games they play much better, a change will be made. Greene should be given a chance to keep his job. He did nothing to deserve a spot buried on the bench. Is that likely? Of course not. I think Lavin will want to fair, and he doesn't want to develop a rep as a guy who recruits over hard working kids who have held their own. And at best, Greene has held his own.

So Brandon Young is the 6th best player in the BE, and Gene Teague is 7th. Have they been confused with other players?
Gene Teague isn't the 7th best player in New Jersey.

IMO, Smith-Rivera should be in the top 5.

Its Bleacher Report. The guy who wrote the article is a 23 year old kid who's an auto claims processor at State Farm Insurance.

Seriously...that's what he does.

He also said every single SJU player was picked too high. I wonder if he has ever watched a SJU game in his life.

Well if they weren't picked too high we have 4 in the top 15 and 5 in top 21 so we should finish 1st in the conference!

Guess he didn't need to add-but not St. John's.

During football on Fox today, there was a nice little promotional commercial for Big East Basketball on Fox Sports 1.  If I remember correctly, the opening moments of the promo showed both St. John's and Georgetown banners and then cycled through rest of the Big East teams.  It was a slick, well put together commercial.  I like the promotion of our conference.

Interesting piece IMO;

Creighton-

http://www.omaha.com/article/20131009/BLUEJAYS/131008609

Creighton officials yesterday formally unveiled a new athletic logo at their basketball arena, CenturyLink Center, and public reaction "seemed generally favorable among the 3,000 people in attendance." The logo features a "multicolored Bluejay, with a huge letter C in the background." Other sport-specific logos unveiled on the arena's new video board "featured a Bluejay's head on top of the word Creighton." This is "part of a university-wide rebranding that the school decided to embark on after Creighton became a member of the new Big East in mid-March"

I like the new Creighton logo, although I think the one on the court should have been smaller.  I wonder why we couldn't have done our rebranding as expeditiously as they did.
