Tremendous quotes, for someone with Northeast roots and unprecedented success, Wright uses his voice and speaks up for the conference consistently. He's a ambassador for the league and everyone should hope he retires at Nova-

Jay Wright on the Big East and NYC: “We own it. It’s natural and authentic for the Big East . . . When the ACC or Big Ten comes in, it’s not natural for them. If they get to enjoy it, that’s good. It’s our home. It’s what we’ve done and who we are.”

 Kevin Willard, on other leagues invading NYC/MSG: “We’re established. We're part of New York. The Garden has been phenomenal to us. Just because other leagues come in and play (there) doesn’t really effect us all that much.”

Get to know the name Mac McClung-

Maybe, he'll live up to his internet hype.  He averaged a ton a points ppg, but he played in a poor league for hoops.  He'll probably help Georgetown, but will he ever live up to the hype?

Let’s not pretend there isn’t a huge difference between the two situations.

Start with the fact he had been a coach there before. Left and was unsuccessful. Wasn’t exactly an exciting rehire to revitalize the fan base with a new areana and new look conference. Mullin wasn’t hired to win right away, obviously there were going to be growing pains with a first time coach and there has been. If next year doesn’t get better then I’m sure there will be legitimate noise about finding a new coach.

Can’t debate this with you because we look at it  so differently. I understand the depaull reaction, even though I think Leitao has improved the team and program. I understand the older St. John can perspective. They love Chris Mullin and that’s it.
I absolutely don’t understand a younger fan’s pro Mullin perspective. Hiring an inexperienced Coach, letting him make what ever decisions he wants, and paying a premium for his mistakes is nice personic.
With ponds we are in slightly better shape then DePaul. Without him, we are way behind.

I have been critical of SJU and Mullin and he definitely needs to take a big step next year year.  Everyone seems to agree with that but they are not SLIGHTLY above DePaul with what's coming in with Ponds.  And the most important distinction between the two programs is expectations.  The fact that SJU fired a coach who went to 2 NCAA's and 4 NCAA's/NIT's in 5 years should tell you where they expect to be.  DePaul would never fire a coach with that type of record because they would not expect to do better than that.

Now Mullin needs to produce no doubt, but don't compare the two programs.

Maybe, he'll live up to his internet hype.  He averaged a ton a points ppg, but he played in a poor league for hoops.  He'll probably help Georgetown, but will he ever live up to the hype?

I didn't see one jump shot shown in the video...

His jumper is actually the best part of his game, but he has a terrible attitude and his competition is always obviously questionable. He is going to be easy to hate.

This is the class of the internet sensations. Jordan McCabe is going to WVU:  https://youtu.be/bJ9LAZRikWc

Sort of like our Joe Girard only he hasn't signed yet.

Except Joe is all basketball player while this kid is an elite athlete with some really good skills. If Joe were this athletic he would be a top 10 player in the country and average over 65 points a game.

Sources: Grizzlies guard MarShon Brooks has agreed to a guaranteed two-year deal with Memphis. Brooks has scored 70 points over three games in his first 10-day contract.

Backbreaking news for the Hoyas' success next season. Govan better be prepared for double teams all of next season:

That will hurt G'town but they have a 4 star PF and 3 star C coming in next year that will help them offset the loss as well as a few underclassmen bigs who will help.

Yeah, it may offset it slightly, but I thought Derrickson could potentially be a first or second-team All-Big East player next season.  They also have a thin backcourt.  They did have James Akinjo (2018 PG and former UConn commit) on an official visit during the weekend.  So, he would be a bolster to their backcourt, if they could nab him.

Derrickson is a big loss, if he indeed signs with an agent.
