@PaulBiancardi: Just spoke with Maverick Rowan about Bo Ryan is retiring as Wisconsin was in his final list.

Think St. John's looks to be in good shape here. They have a really fun looking shaping roster shaping up with Mussini, LoVett (talent as he's not a headache off the court), Johnson, Ellison, M'Vouika, potentially Rowan, and Williams all capable of hitting from three and spreading the floor. They will need Sima eligible and provide interior defense (and/or land more interior help), but at least they will be an entertaining team to watch. This could also allow them to make a huge jump a year from now if they sign a strong 2016 class.

Butler having a nice summer. Joining the Big East had really helped their recruiting

@jeffborzello: Howard Washington is Butler's second four-star commitment in the 2016 class, joining ESPN 100 big man Joey Brunk.

That is awesome, a lot of people questioned Chris Holtmann, great for him to get a strong class.

I did not believe that Brandon Miller was the answer, but Holtmann looks next in line in the succession of great Butler coaches. Building a very nice first full class, and also played the transfer market nicely with Jordan Gathers and especially Kethan Savage.
