Providence recruited him out of high school as well. I could easily see St. John's getting involved once they name a new coach.
Looks like this kid doesn't think Butler is going to lose its coach.....@becb_sbn: St. Bonaventure transfer Jordan Gathers commits to Butler, per @MichaelPointer http://t.co/t3luLuklHF http://t.co/exq2DwqOES
Glad we beat them out for Carter......@JoshGershon: #Xavier sophomore point guard Brandon Randolph has requested and received his release to transfer from the school, source says.

Georgetown junior D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera will enter the NBA Draft, the school announces.

D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera turns 23 later this year. 6-3 SG with average athleticism. Don't think he would have grown or became more athletic.

Junior D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera leaving Georgetown for the NBA Draft. Fringe prospect. Likely would have stayed on fringe in a year regardless
St. John's adds 6-8 forward and former Iowa State signee Darien Williams. Good looking addition for the Johnnies and nice to see Iowa State on the other end of this for once.

As @DraftExpress reports, Providence staff pushing Kris Dunn hard to return to school. NBA execs see Dunn w/ late lottery potential in '15.
I also selfishly hope for Dunn to stay for the conference, but I happen to agree with that assessment. This may sound like sacrilege here, but Dunn's situation reminds me a lot of D Wade after 2002. Wade would likely have gone in the first round after 20-2, but staying in college and developing his game put him in the top 5 of the 2013 draft and into a spot with immediate PT. I believe that some added polish in Dunn's game (continually improving his shot and cutting down on his TO's) could put him in the top 5 in a weak looking 2016 draft. Also, a year of developing his game could allow to him to be ready for immediate PT in the NBA.
If he is a lottery pick this year he should go....As IWB pointed out in an earlier thread it isn't the rookie salary you are giving up it is millions after your rookie contract. Going from late lottery in 2015 to top 5 next year(assuming it works out that way) isn't worth the risk.
Now if he doesn't want to leave that is a different deal but Cooley seems to be looking out more for himself then he is for the kid IMO.
I think he could be anywhere from late lottery to late first round. Also, the agenda of Adrian Woj and Givony is for kids to enter the NBA, so I would not read too much into anything they spin about Cooley. Cooley's career would be better for Dunn to stay, but I believe that Dunn has the upside to improve and is in a perilous enough position to where staying makes objective sense. This is a not Sam Dekker where his stock is likely at its ceiling.
Given his injury history, Dunn should probably go to the draft.
Exactly. He missed basically two seasons with injuries. If he gets injured next year, he will have that tag attached to him, and teams will be more hesitant to take a gamble on him, especially with guaranteed salary. This year he was injury-free, so there should be fewer concerns.
I think he'd be foolish to play NBA-roulette. He should go while he is projected as a first-round pick. Without the injury history, I could see him wanting to stay and raise his stock.

Yankuba Sima makes it official. Just verbally committed to St. John's. 6-11 lengthy big man

@JonRothstein Georgetown will take a foreign tour to Italy in August, JT3 told @CBSSports. Hoyas will play exhibition games and have 10 practices
If we play some of the same teams they do...could give us a barometer of where the team is at.
Wasn't Georgetown overseas relatively recently - China?
Thought it was one foreign trip every five years?
Villanova and Oklahoma will play a neutral site game in Hawaii on 12/7/15, sources told @CBSSports. Story: http://cbsprt.co/1CEPDT8
Hmmmm.........@SammyAlbano: So @UConnHuskies calling @BIGEAST presidents 4 an audience bout membership in #BigEast #AmericanAthleticConference @KevinMcNamara33
If true, does the Big East require Uconn to drop football? Would they seriously consider that??
I assume if you expand by one, you expand by two. SLU, Dayton, Wichita St (since Uconn would break the whole private school thing)?
Certainly would do wonders for cementing NYC and filling the Garden.
Also if you expand by two, can you increase conference slate to keep the round robin???
Who says you have to expand by two? What is wrong with a conference with 11 teams?
Do a round robin of fo 20 games.
20 conference games is too many...nobody plays more then 18. Nobody wants to give up 2 more non conference games
If true, Cincy would be the logical 12 member but only if they make the same football decision UConn does. Not sure they do though, as Cincy might have a way into the Big (10) 12 as a partner with WVU. Regardless, if true, that's quite a coup for the Big East.
Rysheed Jordan will be back for St. John's next season. He has had numerous off the court issues, but finally showed a semblance of consistency on the court last season (seven games with offensive ratings above 105 in his last eleven games). His shot looked much improved, he just needs better shot selection and to not to turn it over so often. Also, it would help if he stopped acting like a knucklehead off the court.
Rumor is that this is for lacrosse only.
I would take UConn and Cincy in a heartbeat over anyone else available out there. Who cares about football. They can figure that out.
The problem with football are the split loyalties. I would be surprised if the BE takes them as full members with football. Not toention that I doubt the AAC would have them as football only members.
What does UConn really have to gain by joining the Big East with football. The AAC is a solid league.
Exactly. That is why the rumor that it is for lacrosse.
if the stories about UConn athletics losing tons of money because of football are true, why would they add another non-revenue sport like lacrosse?
