Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

OK, I checked one conference for the Top 200. The ACC I believe has 1.6 recruits per team in the Top 200, while the BE has 1.9 (19). I counted a couple times and got 24 and 25 Top 200 recruits for the ACC, while the BE is definitely 19. I may be off by a recruit or so for the ACC, but definitely not enough for it to make a difference. Either way, I am certain the Big East has more Top 200 (1-200) recruits per school than the ACC. In addition, the Big East has more Top 50 recruits per school than the ACC. This includes Duke and all other ACC schools, no school was left out.

The sad part is I'm sure Stever knew the Big East is the strongest conference in the 151-200 range, so he omitted that from his range.

At a quick glance using Stever's Top 150 numbers and the 247 list of teams 151-200, I'm fairly confident the Big East also outperforms the B12 and SEC in the Top 200.

Bottom line:
Big East is #3 for recruits 1-50, and I believe #3 as well for recruits 1-200. They are #6 in the Top 150, but obviously Top 200 is more important than Top 150. As I said previously, BE is also strong with the 201-250 range but eventually there needs to be a cut-off.

So the last 2-3 years when you did recruiting things, did you EVER mention top 200? Nope. You mentioned 4 or 5 star guys only. LOL.

I don't know how it compares to other major conferences, but it seems like we're doing pretty well with net transfers in/out.

That sounds like an invitation for someone to weigh in with stats to prove we're not doing well ....

Maybe not. It doesn't look like Wichita State's doing too well lately...

It certainly seems as though most of our teams are hitting the ball out of the park this spring, recruiting-wise. Great for them and the conference.
However, it's still a bit cold out here in the corn so I'd merely ask that youse guys save a couple for us please.

Nova reaches out to Grad Trans Joe Cremo...

Looks like a possible insurance play if Donte stays in the draft.....

Cremo has visits to Nova and Kansas scheduled. If he wanted to be here, he would be already in my opinion.

One thing we may see late in this class is a lot more guys who are supposed to be class of 2019 reclassifying into 2018. The NBA rule of eliminating the 1 and done rule may be gone for 2020. So if a guy is in 2019 class, they would have to go to college for a year then have to compete with all the 2020 guys as well. But if he's in the 2018 class, he could go and just compete with this years class.
