not to mention-
Big East- 5 vs 4- Big East has number advantage
top player- Big East 16 vs AAC 28- Big East Advantage

so Big East has more players and the better player. I don't think anyone outside him would say that the AAC right now has the better class.

I could give 2 shits less about the rankings of high school players and whether a composite 67 is better than 71. If we're going to compare leagues:

NCAA bids:
Big East - 6/10
AAC - not so much
Nebraska by birth, Creighton by choice.

UConn is a very special program. Thanks for coming on here and bragging on them.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Weirdly they don't have us listed, but we are taking a hard run at #33 Amir Coffey. We aren't in the driver's seat, but MU insiders feel we have a real shot. While not a top 50 we are also taking a run at #98 Brendan Bailey (once again, ESPN doesn't have us listed for some reason).

Just classic that a Bearcat fan comes on here puffing out his chest about recruiting success and then presents data that contradicts his argument. 5 top players for the BE vs 4 for the AAC. That Cincy U education certainly kicked in with that analysis.

I'm pretty sure that bearcat is joking.
According to his list, if you take the top 4 players in each conference and our average is better.
Our average only gets worse when we add an additional (5th) Top-100 player.
