Big East Media Day

Jersey media guy, Jerry Carino, chimes in, pre media day;

EAST FORECAST

Preseason rankings:

1. Villanova: Three starters back, and Josh Hart will be a first-team All-American.

2. Xavier: That deep rotation last winter will pay off now.

3. Creighton: Four starters back and adding a big-time transfer.

4. Seton Hall: Four starters and plenty of toughness back, but one huge hole to fill.

5. Georgetown: So much talent. Can the Hoyas finally put it together?

6. Marquette: Four starters back, but one lottery pick lost, from a 20-13 squad.

7. Butler: Hard to rank them this low, but they lost some cornerstone players.

8. St. John’s: The talent is starting to roll in. Will take a clear step forward.

9. Providence: Rebuilding post-Kris Dunn, but should be competitive.

10. DePaul: Rinse, repeat.

Preseason all-conference

First team: Josh Hart, Villanova (Sr., G/F); Kris Jenkins, Villanova (Sr., F); Maurice Watson, Creighton (Sr. G), Trevon Bluiett, Xavier (Jr., G), Kelan Martin, Butler (Jr., F).

Second team: Edmond Sumner, Xavier (So., G); Khadeen Carrington, Seton Hall (Jr., G); Marcus Foster, Creighton (Jr., G); Angel Delgado, Seton Hall (Jr., F/C); Jalen Brunson, Villanova (So., G).
 
I sense a big year from Georgetown. Would be nice to see that become a rivalry game again.
 
I guess it's going to be tough to squeeze his way on to the first team, but I think Brunson takes a huge leap forward in stats this season.
 
Per Rumble in the Garden
Ackerman says Big East television ratings are up almost 60% since FS1’s birth.

Ackerman mentions Big East programs investing in basketball. Mentions new facilities at Georgetown, DePaul, and Providence.
 
If you're watching on bigeast.com, Raf is moderating a nice round table discussion with Chris, PJ, and Calhoun.

 
For those who get 5 Star happy;

Willard compared Wright to Mike Brey: Generally doesn't chase one-and-done, two-and-through kids, always working with older, seasoned core
 
Glad to see Chris embracing diversity by reaching out to under-represented groups like African American Hassids
