Congratulations From Around the Big East

Notice how there weren't alot of congratulations to St John's and Steve Lavin from the other Big East coaches when Lavin got hired? Under Norm, Pitino, Calhoun, Wright, Calipari, Coach K...they all loved Norm and were always good for a "they'll turn it around" Now, with the quality names talking St John's basketball, the recent skills program, etc...these other guys are pretty quiet.

Then again, these guys have had other issues to deal with this offseason...Pitino shopping himself, Calhoun NCAA investigation, and Calipari can pencil in an investigation every offseason.

you know Cal's not in the Big East and St. John's hasn't faced him at Memphis or Kentucky (or U Mass, but I can't remember, is that right?)...

Yes, I know Cal is not in the Big East, but he has been on Francesa enough. My point is that with each of these national recruits mentioning St Johns, these other programs have to be taking notice.

I think this is a pretty funny way at looking at things. In a way though I think you might be right. Fear Lavin! St. John's is back.

Yes that's the case. All of the league's coaches loved Norm. Just think about how much Norm Roberts helped them recruit.

And in addition to that, guys like Calhoun and Wright walked about with a W whenever they needed one.

Pitino has said that St. John´s will win the Big East.
