Best Big Men in Big East

[Amaseinyourface]

A recent thread had started to suggest the rankings of post players in the conference. So I thought lets bring it to the board. Three installments, I'll start it with the top 5 big men in the conference.

1.) Jay'Vaughn Pinkston NOVA- My personal favorite big man in the BE. I think every team can appreciate the way this kid plays. Very tough, knows how to play.

2.) Matt Stainbrook XAV- Another kid who really know's how to play. Beats you with skill. Kind of reminds me of a college Marc Gasol.

3.) Josh Smith GTOWN- Really could be the best big in the conference if he can stay healthy and active for a a whole season. Incredible hard to guard.

4.) Chris Obekpa SJU- Know your gonna get close to 4 blocks and 6 rebs from him in most nights. Much potential to improve. Poor offensively.

5.) Jalen Reynolds XAV- Has a lot to prove but certainly has the potential to follow through. Physical specimen.

Wild card- Tommy Hamilton IV DEPAUL - Has really good size and skills. Think he could end up being a really solid player this year. Just never really hear about him.

Why must he always do this. He easily could have said Obekpa has had great offseason development.

Instead everything is always "the best of his career". It might seem petty, but these are the type of things that drive people nuts about Lavin.

Beats him transferring.

@NYPost_Brazille: Lavin on Obekpa: "He should average a double-double this year, and that's in addition to the blocked shots." #sjubb

I'm laughing hysterically right now as I picture some heads that are about to explode as they read these quotes. I'm not sure why some people take them so seriously.

I agree wholeheartedly and will take it a step further, I don't know how anyone can take anything he says seriously.

I think 8 / 9 / 5 is actually doable.

Good thing Lavin never gets so excited that he talks specific numbers because he may have Obekpa at 15 / 12 / 7

Lavin only person in America who can yell "FIRE" in a crowded movie theater and not get in any trouble because no one believes anything he says.

I really think the problem is that he doesn't know how to shut down recruiting mode. We're already fans, and if we haven't left by now we never will. No need to re-recruit us.
