Around Big East

Providence Basketball: Friars excelling in the new Big East

by Brian Foley 34 minutes agoFollow @briandfoley

Providence Basketball was an also-ran in the old Big East, but in the new and improved conference, the Friars have risen to new heights.

Is it time to just accept the fact that Nova is the Kentucky, Duke and Kansas of the BE?

Thre real question is who is going to be the first BE team to catch them or even get close to their level? X was close but what will happen without Mack. No other team is even in the same neighborhood right now

Khyri Thomas staying in the draft, signed with an agent. One more reason for Shamorie to come back the Shamorie stopper is gone.

Any one have word as to whether or not Govan is going to sign with an agent?

Per Yahoo Sports
Donte DiVincenzo hasn't made a formal decision, but told @ShamsCharania he expects to remain in the NBA draft barring injury, bad evaluation from Marillac or a drastic change in his performance. yhoo.it/2LiqcTp

He had a very good combine and is creeping up mock draft boards.  Latest SI.com has him at no. 20 safely inside the 1st round so clearly he wouldn't gain much coming back.

For the record still no sighting of Shamorie in the 2nd round of any mock drafts.

Freddie Hill out at the Hall.  Apparently Duane Woodward (currently assistant at Monmouth) is the likely replacement.

With Strus and Cain gone at the end of next season, and considering how a 4 star Tyger Campbell PG decommited DePaul earlier this offseason, this is a MONSTER get for Leitao-

Jessie Govan tells me he will return to Georgetown next season. Entered 2018 NBA Draft without an agent.

Hope that elusive mystery grad transfer big is out there to stop him from being an automatic double-double when he plays us next year.

@ShamsCharania
Villanova sophomore Donte DiVincenzo will remain in the 2018 NBA Draft and forgo his remaining collegiate eligibility, sources told Yahoo.
The Final Four Most Outstanding Player had strong Combine, has performed well in team workouts.

No shock on Donte D.  Looking at bottom 3rd of the 1st round no reason to stay at Nova.

Nova Nation patiently awaiting Omari Spellman's announcement, he's making them sweat more than we were yesterday. Nova's place next season in the Big East standings hangs in the balance as they can lose 4 pieces from last year's team.

Spellman is staying in the draft. He announced it on his Instagram page. Big East is going to be wide open next season.
