Happy to see G'Town and Xavier pulling in big time classes. PC, Villanova and Marquette obviously doing a good job as well. Props to Seton Hall for landing Whitehead.

We'd love to have Delgado but think SHU would be disappointed.

Yeah please put SHU next to Delgado. Xavier has enough great players coming in.

Hill is still wavering on whether to go to Marquette with the coaching change.

Georgetown's Class is so dirty. So pumped for next year.

its great having all of this talent coming into the Big East next year. gets me excited and makes me miss basketball even more.

It's going to be fun to see what SHU does with Whitehead after that extremely shady recruitment. Remember, Sir Dominic Pointer was ranked in the 20's when we got him. He turned out to be a total and utter bust. Garrett was also a top 100 kid that did nothing. The only recruits that lived up to their rankings were Harrison and Jordan (who appears on track to get much better after a very good freshman year).

I'd go as far as to say the top 100 kids fail a lot more than they succeed. Look around at the Creighton and Wisconsin teams. They had some 2 and 3 star guys who came out of nowhere and stayed for 4 years and really developed. Maybe it was just a bust recruiting class for SJ but it really taught me that all that glitters isn't gold.

I called that class a bust from the start. It was obvious to me that they had too many guys that had similar skill sets or lack of skill sets that were just athletic but didn't have any basketball skill.

247Sports, in my opinion has the best recruiting rankings and analysis. They update their top 247 very regularly. Here is the Big East breakdown.

#11 Whitehead - Seton Hall
#31 Copeland - Georgetown
#43 Delgado - Seton Hall
#53 Bluiett - Xavier
#60 Hill - Marquette
#64 White - Georgetown
#72 Cohen - Marquette
#72 Chukwu - Providence
#74 London - Xavier
#86 Booth - Villanova
#89 Peak - Georgetown
#92 Lindsay - Providence
#97 Gilmore - Creighton
#98 Bentil - Providence
#105 Harris - Marquette (likely not happening)
#106 Bridges - Villanova
#112 Martin - Butler
#118 Shayok - Marquette
#128 Macura - Xavier
#145 Sumner - Xavier
#149 Carrington - Seton Hall
#157 Harrell - Creighton
#172 Campbell - Georgetown
#193 Pierce - Marquette
#196 O'Mara - Xavier
#210 Doby - DePaul

School totals: Xavier: 5. Marquette: 5(4). Georgetown: 4. Seton Hall: 3. Providence 3. Creighton: 2. Villanova: 2. Butler: 1. DePaul: 1. St. John's: 0.

Players who have yet to commit but have Big East schools in the mix:

#120 Josh Cunningham - Creighton, DePaul
#173 Devonte Graham - Creighton, Xavier, Providence
#181 Bakary Konate - Creighton
#202 D'Angelo Allen - Georgetown, Marquette
#211 Patrick McCaw - DePaul

Overall, that is an insanely good recruiting year for the conference.

I agree about 247, I think I'd put Rivals #2, ESPN #3 and Scout #4.

Which ever service ranks my players the highest is clearly the best, So Clearly right now ESPN tops them all.
