Around the Big East

Who is under the most pressure in the Big East?​

Chris Thedinga: I'll give an outside the box answer for 'Who is under the most pressure?' I'll go with Jordan Dingle, the former Penn Quaker. Dingle comes to St. John's and Rick Pitino boasting massive numbers at Penn in his three-year tenure. There's a lot on the line for Dingle when it comes to his post-collegiate career.


The bump up in competition from the Ivy to the Big East is considerable, but the '23 version of the Ivy was nothing to scoff at. Dingle put up 23.4 points per game while shooting at a 46 percent clip. He also got the free throw line about as much as any guard in the country.

Dingle has the skillset and the pedigree to play at the next level. But he'll have to prove it this season at SJU to maintain the attention of NBA front offices.

The real pressure should be to WIN, after all, that is the name of the game. Dingle will get a chance to prove if he can play at the next level, and if he can, he will.
 
That's kind of odd to choose Dingle IMO, it's not like he would've been a draft pick last year had he entered. His only option really was going to a Power conference to try and improve his game, and he made a smart decision with a HoF coach to maximize his potential.
