According to Rivals he is.  To each their own when it comes to rankings.

Looks like Huggins will have some down years coming?

Also wasn't Kadeem Jack redshirting at Rutgers 2nd semester?  Therefore he shouldn't be part of 2011 class.

WVU will be OK.  They have the kid Murray eligible next year.  Hinds is legit.

SHU is going to lose two of their recruits.  Hill never even signed an NLI because they knew he was not going to qualify and Johnson, who is their top rated recruit, is never going to qualify either and will be headed to JUCO.

Take them away and they fall to about 14th at best.  I think DePaul is definitely underrated.

Any word on my boy Jayvaughn Pinkston? If hes eligible, ya might as well add him to the recruiting class

He is going to play this year.  He would still be part of the 2010 class not 2011. 

SHould Rutgers be a bit higher,maybe 3rd? Whose better ot of the 2 PG's they got coming in?

Mike Rice did a great job with that class, and unlike us, he'll have a couple a pretty good vets to help them along the way. In 12-13, I think Rutgers will be a top 8 or 9 BE team.

So are you saying in 12-13 you think RUT will be better than STJ?

I think Rutgers will be a top 5 Big East team come 12/13

I hate the offseason..but I'll give my early 11/12 predictions soon.

Why didnt Russ Smith transfer? They add 2 more SG's on top of guys who already are ahead of him on depth chart. He should have come home to play for Masiello

I love hating the off-season.

I thought Pelle was the #1 ranked center ?

Wrong sport. Pelle played soccer, one the best ever.

According to Rivals he is.  To each their own when it comes to rankings.

Okay, just plain weird.   I was giving the benefit of the doubt - 'cause as you say "to each his own when it comes to rankings".

But looking at that list closely, they have Pelle listed as a PF - which explains why he's not the top ranked incoming center.   But they have Zach Price listed as their #1, but when you look down the individual team summaries, Price is Ranked #57, while they list Rakeem Christmas as #35 AND as a Center.   

Tried to figure out by using the rankings to figure which poll they're using, but it doesn't seem to be any of the "big 6" I normally consider....

Northstar does their own rankings - Alex Schwartz goes out and see at least some of the recruits. Jeff Borzello (now with CBS) contributes to the rankings, I think.
