Welcome back old friend - the Big East's missed you.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
Big East really sold high and bought low on that one.

The thrill of a sweet 16 awaits

Would be big for UT to cope with the losses of last year. Williams gone will certainly be felt.

Technically, the Civil ConFLiCT was over when UCF left the trophy for the game on the field after they won.

Central Florida just leaving that made up trophy on the field after winning was the best thing ever. That in itself was enough to make me recognize UCF's national title claim.

Still consistently hearing Kerry Blackshear coming back to VT from VT's side. The feedback Tennessee is riding high on is the exact same thing he told every school he visited; great experience, great opportunity, etc. That guy that said KJ was down to just VT or Tenn was wrong at the time, was just speculating.

Also hearing that he'll decide in the next 72 hours, so should know one way or another shortly.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Best possible news for UConn. They probably won’t have to pay Kevin Ollie the $10M and no additional penalties for the school itself. Also they have to vacate all games from the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 seasons, which doesn’t really matter to me since I’d already vacated those seasons from my mind anyway.

They self-imposed the scholarship limit when they fired KO and it's just for this upcoming season. It's not like they were gonna get an additional mystery recruit at this point anyway (and they still have one scholarship available for this year that Hurley supposedly just wants to keep open until next year). Everything else also resets after this season (like the official visits, unofficial visits and recruiting days), so they'll have no more penalties at all by the time they join the Big East.

If UConn hires the right person they can be back in the mix in like 3 years.

E: Didn't realize they hired Bobby Hurley, I like him as a coach, so I think he'll be fine.

It sounds like the NCAA blames Ollie more than UConn themselves. I don't see him getting a job anywhere again - he burned a ton of bridges.

Bobby’s brother who coached at Rhode Island. He’s a decent coach who is also psycho, which runs in the family it seems

Still really early but I'd say the most notable ones going into the year (just college guys so not like RJ Hampton) are:

Anthony Edwards- Georgia
Cole Anthony- UNC
Jaden McDaniels- Washington
Scottie Lewis- Florida
James Wiseman- Memphis
Tyrese Maxey- Kentucky
Nico Mannion- Arizona

Really good PG class, seems kinda light everywhere else right now at least in terms of NBA prospects

And as the last two years have shown, there's apparently always a chance that Beard turns an underrated player into a one-and-done. This year's top candidate would be Kevin McCullar (3* RS Fr out of San Antonio).
