New York Times put out their Big East Preseason Rankings, how bad were they? We dive deep into the rankings and debate if St. John's deserves the top spot over UConn, and why Creighton is still severely underrated despite massive transfer portal pickups. We challenge the ranking of Marquette at #4, arguing that a lack of transfer portal use could be their downfall, especially when compared to other Big East teams built from transfer veterans.

Big East recruiting is heating up! Mark Zanetto and Casey Matthews break down the latest storylines across the league: Providence is chasing 5-star SG Caleb Holt (a major long shot) but has the inside track on 5-star big man Abdou Toure, Providence also loses 4-star Ryan Moesch to Siena under new head coach Gerry McNamara, and Xavier lands a huge pledge from Kalek House. We give a full player breakdown of House—including his family ties to Richard Pitino and his impressive AAU stats—and size up the towering frontcourts around the conference. From UConn’s 7-footers to Creighton’s wall of bigs, we cover every team’s size advantage heading into next season.
