    • My on thing I hate about the Big East. These kids should be able to sign within the conference In the event of a coaching change, half of these recuits arent only being recruited by one Big East program at a time for example Fuquan Edwin and most recent Cory Joseph. The BE needs to change this because they will definitely find themselves losing quality tri-state talent such as Ron Roberts more frequently.
