your way too early big east rankings?

If Obekpa and Jordan are back and Mullin can keep Brandon Sampson in the fold and add Diallo, the Johnnies should be able to finish in the middle of the pack.

If Gibbs returns, I see the Pirates no worse than 5th but no better than 3rd. Nova , Xavier, Georgetown, butler, ???

Gibbs is returning, he's already made that clear.

Wanna bet a nickel?

Is Gibbs graduating where he could transfer and play immediately?

If Kris Dunn comes back I will say right now that no way PC finishes 6th in this conference. 4 or higher. In the two years that this conference has been around, these threads always pick PC for anywhere from 6-8th and the end results have been different. I expect more of the same next year.

That being said, I will be shocked if he comes back.

Is Gibbs graduating where he could transfer and play immediately?

Yep. And while he's still on campus taking classes and surrounded by other members of the basketball program he's saying exactly what you'd expect him to say. From everything I've been told (from people who ought to know) I'd be stunned if he was at Seton Hall next year. Shocked. Flabbergasted.

dunn should go. it's what's best for him and also what's best for providence in the long run. you want to be known as a program that puts kids in the nba.

yes he can improve his stock next year, but it also gives nba scouts a chance to dissect your game. not to mention the risk of injury.
