Georgetown's much-improved non-conference slate in 2019-20 now includes Syracuse, Oklahoma St., Big Ten team TBD (Gavitt Games), SMU, and 2 of Duke, Texas and Cal (Empire Classic). Buckle up.

Marquette is meeting today with potential transfers Alihan Demir (6-9 PF, 14.8 ppg and 6.4 rpg at Drexel) and Akwasi Yeboah (6-6 SF, 16.7 ppg and 7.7 rpg at Stony Brook). Both would be immediately eligible to play next season. #mubb

Providence lands their second transfer in as many days with the addition of point guard Jared Bynum. Bynum will sit one and have three years left to play
He averaged 11.3 PPG, 4.5 APG, 3.6 RPG as a freshman with the St. Joseph’s Hawks.

Were these transfers because of issues with Markus Howard, or was it something else?
Georgetown adds a solid grad transfer Terrell Allen from UCF. Averaged 6.7/3.2/4.3 per game for a good UCF team. Perfect type of guard to come off the bench and provide depth for Akinjo. Georgetown has the potential to be really good next year.

Damn. Had him on my list of 'possibles'. There's a couple of solid JUCO guards and a couple other Grad Transfer guards still available. I would think TJC is on it. We shall see.
Villanova brings in the Big East's best recruiting class & has the pedigree of a blue blood, but Cats also lost Phil Booth and Eric Paschall. Georgetown, Seton Hall, Providence, Creighton, & Xavier all return at least four of their top five scorers.
One coach who went against Creighton-bound wing — who will sit and have 3 years left.
“Tough, athletic, competes hard. Can get to the rim and finish through contact. Very good in the open court. Can guard multiple positions and get on the glass.”

Butler has landed Valpo 7-foot grad transfer Derrik Smits, he told @Stadium. Smits, the son of former NBA big man Rik Smits, averaged 12.2 points and 5.7 boards this past season. Also considered Arizona State and NC State.
I really do day dream some days about having a true big man that is 6'11+ 240+ who has actual skill with a jump hook, soft touch, and finishes through contact. It just seems like a wild dream in fantasy land but somehow many much worse programs find em. I realize the game has changed but in college you still definitely need at least 1 legitimate big man and we learned that the hard way.

I am truly hoping that CMA builds a relationship with the BrookwoodElite program that my son plays for and that I am involved with. The last staff missed out on Luguenz and Tyrese Samuel but we must go forward with CMA. While we have a fantastic point guard Keshawn Barthélémy who outplayed Curbalho 2 weeks ago in Boston for 2020 there is a 7 2 13 year old kid in the program who should be a big time player. He and his 6 9 16 year old brother who is on my sons team , and who may still grow , both go to Catholic School and have very involved parents who I am sure would want to watch their kids in college. I will try Mike.
