Seems like a good place to post this.

Every night in the Big East — no matter the depth of the scouting report or the determination of a defense to produce a lockdown performance — there is a player stepping onto the court who can catch fire and carry his team.
This is a league where a coach signals offensive plays from the sideline, then the opposing bench instantly shouts the plan crafted in practice for that concept. Sometimes you’ll see defenders shouting out the play based on the opposing team’s alignment.

this is clearly pretty terrible for the league.

having to split attention between five different candidates just can't be spun as a positive thing.

pretty obvious that the AAC is leaps and bounds ahead of the Big East with their single candidate that they can promote

The conference just has a ridiculous amount of playmakers. I’d be surprised if any other conference comes close. On top of these 5 you have Khyri Thomas, kelan Martin, Desi Rodriguez, Khadeen Carrington, Markus foster, and Andrew rowsey. Those guys have as good a case as any to be on this list. Beyond that strus on Depaul, Derrickson and Govan on Georgetown have been really impressive. The league is absolutely loaded

I think you meant Howard. I'd add Phil Booth to the list.

Foster's in there for CU but Khyri Thomas surely must have been close... should be in contention for the NABC Defensive Player of the Year award.

Yes thank you

Put this in the “not-gonna-happen-but-fun-to-dream” bucket: VU does not have Sr on the roster. Imagine another year with all these guys intact and a year older.

Unfortunately we all are going to graduate, or lose to pro careers, a lot of great players. Next year may be a Stevers paradise.

I honestly think Khyri Thomas has had a better season than Marcus Foster thus far.

I honestly think Khyri Thomas has had a better season than Marcus Foster thus far.

When you look at both ends of the floor, I'd be hard pressed to disagree. Can't believe he still has another year left.
