Around the Big East

This is fair. Looking forward to next year when we’re in that top tier.
That said, I expect our odds to be significantly better for the Big East *tournament*
Posh at the point
St. John's transfer Posh Alexander gives Butler a steady presence at the point guard position. Alexander was a three-year starter for the Red Storm with 77 starts to his name. With so many new faces, having a veteran to run the show is key, and Alexander showed the ability to control the game with the ball in his hands.The 6-foot guard is never out of control, always looking to set up his teammates or score when given the opportunity. When Alexander is in the game, he'll be the primary ball handler. His dribbling and explosiveness should help the 'Dogs combat full-court pressure, something they struggled with at times last season. Landon Moore and Finley Bizjack also spent time running the offense.
"Posh has been tremendous for us," Matta said. "His energy every day, his understanding of the game. You watch him play today, he didn't do a ton but he was getting everybody else involved. He thinks like a veteran does and I'm very, very excited. I love coaching him."
Observations from Butler's open practice: Posh at the point, a lot of capable shooters
Posh Alexander shows his skills at the point, improved outside shooting and an international X-factor

As long as Curbelo is far away from Posh, he will be fine.Posh at the point

I'm so curious to see how he's going to look in that offense, I thought when he decided to go there the fit was questionable at best, so I'm very very curious how his skillset will translate there...will be watching a lot of Butler.Posh at the point

Wishing him the best. Had high hopes for him here, but he was one of the victims of the situation that developed. And most definitely, yeah, Curbelo.... yikes.
Posh deserves good things to happen to him except when
he plays against us.
He has talent and heart and was really a victim of Curbelo's all
encompassing Alpha attitude
which didn't correspond to his ability.
To me, Posh will always be a winner.
Posh was my favourite player the past few seasons as he left it all out each and every game and I wish him all the best.Very often he played hurt but with reckless abandon. I was pleased when Andre C committed to play for us but boy was I dead wrong. He was a huge distraction and hurt Posh’s game very badly.
Hoping Posh has a good senior season.

Posh played as hard as any SJU player but he had no shooting skills. He could have been a more productive offensive player if he had three teammates on the floor with him who were good shooters,
Anderson never put much emphasis on recruiting players possessing shooting skills so it never worked out for Posh.

You and I both got that one wrong. Wishing him the best except against us.

Which player from last year told Rick he was going to Atlantic City rather than come to practice?
I believe that was Posh.
That’s why you need to listen to Marillac more:
“I'm not as high on this kid as everyone else seems to be, but I recognize him as a solid college PG.”
