Big East Media Day Thread

How on earth was DSR voted player of the year?

Is it that hard to imagine? There is about 3-4 who could have got it and he is one of them.

The real head scratcher is how on earth did Darrun Hilliard not make the 1st team?

DePaul in last place???? What are the odds of that?

What's more surprising is that DePaul has 12 points in the preseason poll. That means not every coach picked them to finish last.

I would really like to know who did not vote them as last.

Here's a good read on Kevin Willard's thoughts on the state of the conference, relationship between the coaches, etc.

It's nice to hear that all 10 guys are about the good of the conference just as much as they're about the good of their respective programs, but I wonder how far this really goes. He says they're all "helping each other out," but how much/in what ways? For example, if Briscoe does the expected and eliminates SHU from his list this weekend, does Willard give him one more call/text/email/whatever to give him little Big East push for St. John's?

I'd like to believe he would. Why not try to steer a recruit to another BE school. The more talent in the conference help all teams.

I agree. And our conference seems to be in a good place with the coaches recognizing that. The old Big East was more dog-eat-dog / every team for himself. The new, smaller conference seems to be more "all for one" (at least for the first few seasons until we build this league up to where it belongs and really start to hate each other.

Hahaha…I just got a funny idea of a new Sports Center commercial. Have a birdwatcher in Central Park and have those 3 sitting in a tree. "Right there is the rare Creighton Blue Jay! There's a Johnny Thunderbird…and look, a Marquette Golden Eagle! Wow!"…then the camera pans back to the birdwatcher covered in bird crap. "This is Sports Center".

We don't get to see the actual votes but I think it was unexpected for DSR. I'd guess it's likely due to Nova guys splitting votes. Maybe DSR got 4, Pinkston 3, Hilliard 2...

I've always been impressed with DSR. In the old Big East his clutch shooting killed UConn, games I got to see in person because I live close to UConn. The kid is the real dea. With Starks gone, it's his team and he will be the star.
