Thoughts? Agree, disagree with something? It's my second year covering Marquette for this website. I'm curious to see what you all think about what I predicted.

Don't disagree with much of what you wrote but dont know what makes you think that Willard paid Whitehead.

If you want to be taken seriously, that Seton Hall thing on paying recruits, is over the top.

How much does Tiny get paid to be an assistant. That's how much Willard paid to get Whitehead.

This idiot really accused Willard of paying Whitehead. This is journalism? It is one thing for fans to post such irresponsible things on a fan board but it is totally inappropriate in even a blog post. Especially one that tries to look like a legitimate blog.

No argument there. And probably very well.

Seems that I placed that joke poorly. Didn't actually mean it, meant it to be read in a joking tone (which is my bad since most of the article is serious). Definitely understand how they could land a recruit like him, props to the SH staff.

If you're looking for feedback on the article, I will be happy to oblige. First you already recognize that the SH comment was just poor all the way around. Secondly you state that the 2014 recruits should not be counted on to contribute for a couple years. Huh? I'm sure Xavier, SH and Gtown specifically will disagree with that. Nova is counting on both of its recruits to step in and play a big role in the team this year. Overall I felt like this was a blog from a fan of another conference--lots of disrespectful slights and unfair criticisms across the board for my liking. I'd give you a D+/C-.

"9. Creighton - #wheredidyourtalentgo". That's some groundbreaking journalistic analysis. I'm assuming (hoping) that you just didn't look at the teams very closely before tossing that thing together.

BTW, KenPom and T-Rank have the Jays finishing 4th and 3rd, respectively, in the Big East.

Chill out man, it's some dudes opinion on the internet.
