Teams going down
Marquette - loses James, McNeal, Dwight Burke, Mathews

Providence - loses everybody

Uconn - loses Price, Thabeet, Adrien, Austrie...returns a terrifc Kemba and horrible Robinson.  Probably NIT caliber

Pitt - loses Blair, Young, Fields, Biggs - should miss postseason play

Teams going up

Seton Hall - loses only Gause, adds Fisher, Pope, Lawrence, Oliver.  Should be a sweet 16 caliber team

Cincy - Returns everyone, should compete for an NCAA berth, but still beatable


One question, only because I would add it to my recap if I knew, but who's this Fisher you have coming to Seton Hall.  Honestly don't recall that one nor have I seen anything in my "exhaustive" research.

I believe Jeff Robinson is transferring to Seton Hall...never seen anything on a Fisher.

Robinson is who I was trying to reference.  That is the second or third time I've called him Fisher.

I figured that out this evening watching the Cuse/Hall game.  Is it true that Jeff Robinson's nickname is "The Titan".  Forgot him on my list regardless of what his name is so my bad too.

wow that was such an ignorant statement....go to scout.com and look up alex oriakhi and jamal coombs next year for Uconn. those two single handedly won the national prep tournament this year against some of the best competetion in America, including Omari lawrence. saying freshmen cant take a team to another level is just plain ignorant...do your research...

How can two players single-handedly do anything?  You single-handedly make yourself look like an idiot, but two people can't SINGLE-handedly do anything. 

What did you wake up today, have courage for breakfast, and decide you were going to take on the entire basketball world?

I didn't say freshman "can't" take a team to another level.  I said it is rare and it really didn't happen this past year.  Sure, there were some freshman that contribute well like a Kemba Walker or Samuels, but their teams would have been great without them as well. 


first off dont call me an idiot...you dont even know me and that disrespectful

Alex Oriahki and Jamal coombs along with a  boy named gerard coleman did singlehandly take the title...out of 72 points scored in the champion ship game...those 3 combined for 68 of them. oriahki himself got more then half the rebounds...thats singlehandly, so dont talk about what you dont know about.

freshmen impact teams all the time, just look at devin ebanks in the big east final...its not a RARE case it happens all the time. my point was you cant do a big east overview without considering incoming freshmen...We are NOT going to "jump over 4-5 teams" because there incoming players are better then ours...all my point was is that u failed to analyze that major aspect and its true.

Alex Oriahki (player 1) and Jamal coombs (player 2) along with a  boy named gerard coleman (player 3) did singlehandly take the title...

Anyone else see something wrong with these two statements in conjunction with each other?

ok you know what i ment...what are you trying to say?

the point is three basketball players took a team to the NATIONAL prep championship...thats extremely rare considering how much of a team sport basketball is...im saying those three players are exteremly talented...first they won the NEPSAC class B championship and then the nationals against Class A teams...thats unheard of...main point is dont underestimate those two just because they are freshmen...they will be major players at UConn and will make theyre teams national contenders...Alex might even end up doing one or two years...ill give jamal 3
