Wahab will be immediately eligible, got a waiver. Sounds like most if not all multiple transfer candidates are going to get waivers. It's funny the bigger story going forward is who actually transfers anymore and sits a year.

Way-Too-Early Top 25 men's rankings: Standouts shake up lineups after international tours

July and August saw six of our top 25 teams head abroad to test their talent. Who's in and who's out of the projected starting lineups after international tours?

Latest preseason top 25 from Borzello. He has Creighton, Nova, UCONN in top 25 with Xavier in next 5. I just don't see UCONN as a top 25 team this year but could be way off.

Xavier will only get tougher with Miller. Glad to see our recruiting looking so much stronger but it won't be easy to get to (and stay in) top half of the Big East.

He's always been a very good recruiter, so not a shock that he'd be rolling. Plus with NIL, he no longer has to be a dirty cheater who throws assistants under the bus.

I believe that former Johnnie target AL Amadou who committed to Marquette is a 4 star recruit.

He deserves everything he gets. Great Coach and Recruiter. Love his energy.

I can't figure out if this is good or not. I guess the lead-in to NFL will always grab eyeballs, but Thanksgiving strikes me as more of a sit-around-and-watch-sports holiday than Christmas does. So maybe good but not great?

These Big East schools are recruiting their tails off. The Johnnies are not the only team with depth. It's going to be a fight in the BE for sure this season and for the foreseeable future.

this is a bit odd.

the nba dominates christmas day.

and depaul vs creighton...ehhh...not necessarily must see tv....

i guess creighton really the only BE school that is likely to sell out a stadium on xmas day....

I would watch a college basketball game over an NBA game depending on who it is and since the NBA has lost it's luster in my eyes I would at the least switch back and forth between games if I had a passing interest or it was a competitive game. This can only help Creighton (and Depaul) in recruiting. Not that they needed any help.
