Around Big East

The Hall positioned nicely for next few years. With or without Whitehead.

Similar things were said at this time last season, in regards to Seton Hall.

Time will tell.  Too early for that kinda prognostication, IMO. 

If they lose Delgado and Whitehead to the pros after this year -- which is what's expected -- I don't think they will be good at all next year.  And you assume that Desi and Carrington both stay when Whitehead leaves, Desi in particular.

I think Carrington and Desi would be one of the better upperclassmen combos in the league. Carrington is my guy, he would look great at sju. But you are assuming more than I am. Hasnt been much talk of Delgado leaving plus who knows what Whitehead will do. Maybe he sees Kris Dunns' approach and goes that route. Their two PF's Nzei and Sanogo have shown great promise as well and they have our old friend Jevon thomas sitting next year. There will be plenty of NY talent gooing at it next year when we face off.

I'm a big fan of both Carrington and Desi.  I just think it may be different when those guys become the "guys" as opposed to complimentary pieces.  I've read on the Seton Hall boards, and spoke to Seton Hall fans, who all have told me that Delgado's goal is to be gone after this season.  Maybe Willard convinces him to stay.  As far as Whitehead, I think his development as a point means he is as good as gone.

I saw what you did.  Ha! 

Not to mention, Marquette doesn't do anything for me.  They could change my opinion, as the season progresses.  But currently, I haven't been impressed (at all) by what I've seen from 'em.

Marquettes guards are awful and have no one who can stick the jumper consistently. I would pack it in against them all day long

+1000

Williard and seton hall trying to lose vs DePaul.

First half of Butler vs. Nova game was aggressive but kind of sloppy for both teams. 

Butlers home and up by 6 at half. should be an interesting 2nd half.
 

Kelan Martin and Ellenson battling. Great game

DePaul pulled off the upset, exciting game.

The officials in this butler sh game are atrocious. One bad call after another

As expected per @DraftExpress

Been told Ellenson camp already scheduling agent meetings, and only a matter of time until we get an official announcement on him entering.

For your reading enjoyment. Jae Crowder was one of the fiercest defenders I had seen play against the Johnnies. This is a inspiring article of perseverance and determination, what a rise to the top. Also some really great excerpts about Buzz as well, who remains one of my favorite HC's:

"When he got there he thought he was going to come in and do whatever he wanted," Butler added. "And then he figured, 'Yo, Buzz has a lot of guys that play hard, that are just like me.' And then he realized, 'I'm going to work on my game.' When he got to Marquette and that mother------ started to work, that's why he went from being National Juco Player of the Year to Big East Player of the Year. That mother------ worked."

Big loss IMO for PC if this happens
