Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Creighton gets the commitment from 4* Larry Johnson. He is # 80 on 24/7 composite. Our 3* recruit, Ty Davis, will be upgraded to a 4* top 100 on the next Rivals ranking, so 3 4* top 100 players. Shaping up to be a great class!

Johnson should help us next year when Trey is gone. Very happy to get his commitment.

So far, for 2024, the Big East has 5 of the top 25 recruiting classes according to College Basketball Report:

Georgetown #4
UConn #11
Creighton #12
Marquette #16
SJU #17

Not too shabby!!!

Villanova received three crystal balls for top 100 player PF Mathew Hodge. The 4 Star will announce his decision this Friday.

Would be a huge get for Neptune and the program. Nova is also a finalist for top-50 Isaiah Elohim.

#140: Jonathan Powell has been committed to Xavier for 4 1/2 months. Looks like Rivals needs to do more research as they still show him as uncommitted. I think the 24/7 composite is a better system then one individual site, as it takes into account Rivals, ESPN, 247Sports, and On3 I believe. That is far better then one scout site who perhaps doesn't have the research or bandwidth to see every prospect. Powell is #112 on the 247Sports composite.

With Nova recruiting getting hot lately, the BE now has 6 of the top 22 recruiting classes on 24/7 for 2024. Hoyas at #8, Creighton #9, Nova #11, UConn #17, Marquette #21 and St, Johns #22. Providence is next at #34. Things will change, of course, but great job so far!

#120: Daquan Davis - Providence

He announced on Twitter this weekend that he is no longer committed to PC.

I’m glad to see that posters are celebrating recruits in the top 100 and 150. Getting a top 25 recruit is almost always a bad thing because if they live up to their hype, they’re almost always one & done. National championships are rarely won with freshmen, regardless of how talented. Exhibit One for this would be Kentucky, which hasn’t won a NC in more than a decade and hasn’t even been to a Final 4 since 2015. Exhibit 2 would be UConn, which hasn’t had a single McDonald’s All American on any of its last 3 national champions.it’s much better to have experienced depth with players in the 30-70 range than it is to bring in a few high school stars from the top 5-10.
