Big East Offseason Thread

It seems like both Butler and Xavier are in good position to sign strong 2016 classes. Landing Brunk is an excellent start for the Bulldogs, and I hope that Xavier Simpson soon pulls the trigger for the X-Men.

ESPN has Brunk at 63...Scout at 92.

"Long gone, he said, are the days when a prospect said, "I'm going to go to Butler and ride around in a bus" to cities in the geographically compressed Horizon League. Now the Bulldogs are pitted against schools such as Villanova, Georgetown and Marquette, all boasting strong traditions."

Seems like a solid pick-up for the Musketeers.

I think this is great! I really liked him at ESPN doing Big Ten games with Brent Musburger.

Fox Sports1 coverages the Big East, Pac -12 and Conference USA, while Lavin has coached in both the Big East and Pac-12 good move to replace Ben Howland.
