Around Big East

Haters gonna Hate

Is there a backstory to this Hoya? Didn't even know it was a possibility.

Guess the entire basketball community are 'haters'

Honestly I have no clue how we pulled this off. My guess it had to do with the toxic environment at UCLA and the abuse Josh received from coach Howland and fellow players. Lots of Rutgers players were granted immediate eligibility due to Mike Rice's antics. I'm guessing that's why he's eligible immediately.

How he has 2 years of eligibility is the real question to me. I have no clue how we pulled off getting him two full years when he played 6 games at UCLA last year. Again just making this up, but maybe we argued he obesity was a type of injury and got last year to count as a medical redshirt since he played in so few games he would have been eligible for a medical redshirt. Or maybe he actually had an injury that no one knew about, or maybe we made up an injury. Who knows.

But it's great for Georgetown and therefore good for the BE.

Lavin still getting blame for UCLA's failures

But I thought Top players weren't going to play in the new Big East?

No the new big east actually has a lot of top 100 commitments. It just feels that way because we have zero. 

This league is going to be a lot of fun for years to come.

That seems like a terrible way to project this year. If we go 8-10 this year the program is in trouble.

Not playing Pit, Ville, and ND. A year older. We will have Harrison the entire year. Not to mention we will add players such as Jordan, Primo, GG, and Hooper to the mix. After we put that all together, we end up with the same record as last year? Not understanding the logic there.
