Around the Big East '17-18

[quote="Paultzman" post=276630]@John_Fanta
The 2018 @BIGEAST Tournament is @FOXSports' most-watched conference tournament ever. ... [/quote]
Has Sean Spencer confirmed that?
 
Yes, DePaul has a great ‘Chicago’ presence. Very bucolic ‘city’ campus in Lincoln Park—if you ignore the noise from the El and Traffic!
A good urban ‘campus’ building in the Loop—with a great Barnes & Noble bookstore I often frequented.
Hope they join us in a Hoops Renaissance.

Big East announces recommendations it has made to commission on college basketball. Among them is encouraging a “two or none” draft rule. #BIGEASThoops 
 
BE recommendations;

the following:

· Modification of the NBA draft rule. The NCAA should urge the NBA and National Basketball Players Association to create a “none or two” draft eligibility rule to afford elite players greater flexibility to explore their professional options directly out of high school. Players electing to enroll in an NCAA institution would become eligible for the NBA draft following their second NCAA season.

· New summer recruiting model. The new model should launch in the summer of 2019 and allow for centralized control and efficient evaluation of pre-collegiate prospects.

· Modified apparel company relationships with universities. Apparel company contracts should require that income for coaches and administrators be paid through the university rather by apparel companies directly. The NCAA should also mandate specific disclosures from apparel companies before they can enter into contracts with NCAA institutions.

· Regulated role for advisors and agents. The NCAA should allow basketball student-athletes to retain the services of certified agents and advisors in a regulated framework to provide advice about their futures and guide them in their decisions about whether to enter the NBA draft.

· Beefed up enforcement resources (or an independent enforcement agency modeled after USADA) and more significant penalties for egregious rule violations. The NCAA should also promote more aggressively the importance of ethical conduct as a core value.

· Collaboration with USA Basketball, the sport’s national governing body, to improve the organizational structure and standards for pre-collegiate, non-scholastic basketball.

· Elite Player Unit within the NCAA to focus on the areas highlighted by the Commission’s charge. The new management unit should provide oversight of recruiting, agents and advisors, apparel company relationships, ethical conduct and branding strategies.

They should make player scholarships at least two year guarantees than.
 
Hey Darren, give me a list of all the kids who would have been good enough to choose between 2 and gone who had their scholarships taken away after one year.

We have a whole thread about Tariq talking about commitment. It goes both ways. The school makes money off these kids they could at least match the two year commitment all the kids are making.
 
Another reason to hope Willard moves along to another school.

If that's the case, staff will have no one to blame but themselves if they come up short on recruiting again this year.
 
Many on our boards have been predicting gloom and doom for SH after they lost the 4 graduating seniors but as is always the case it is not who you lose but who you have coming back and coming in. SH should still be good next year.

Mitch Richmond and St. Jean are on their way to California to scout the 2020 class for the next couple of months.
 
And Patrick Ewing is all over the place recruiting putting in the work.

Funny how people mentioned Lavin was lazy recruiting, Mullin ain't racking up the miles either.

I doubt that this staff will blame itself for any recruiting failure but we certainly will!;)
