    Big East 2019-2020

    Next year should be really interesting and a rebound year for the league. Based on what is very likely to happen, I see Howard and Ponds going to the NBA. With that, here is my best projection for preseason rankings.

    1. Nova (b/c they are Nova)
    2. Xavier
    3. Seton Hall (Assuming Powell is coming back)
    4. Marquette
    5. Creighton
    6. Georgetown
    7. St Johns
    8. Providence
    9. Butler
    10. Depaul

    4-6 is going to be really tight again this year. Those spots IMHO are interchangeable.

    I hope Powell leaves.

    How is Kamar Baldwin not a Sr this year for Butler? Dude has been there forever.

    Can't really argue with that, except I see Georgetown 4th and Marquette 6th.

    Nova will be next years version of X this year, only with MUCH better freshman. They will be w/o home grown Senior leadership for the 1st time in forever.

    X will be next years version of Nova this year, only with MUCH better freshman. We will have 2 home grown Senior leaders with Junior stars to boot! Role reversal time and X will contend for the title.

    The elephant in the room will be GU.....Akinjo will emerge as the best PG in the league and their other 2 frosh will take the next step. Loaded with experienced depth. Not to mention, no one will have an answer for Yurtseven.

    X, VU, MU, GU fight it out at the top when all said and done.

    The bottom four also seem pretty interchangeable. Won't be shocked if SJU goes back to the cellar.

    Yeah, i was struggling with 4-6 but G'town loses Govan don't they? Marquette has some very nice pieces. Can they find a PG and much need post help?

    Creighton doesn't have any seniors in their lineup this year - will be interesting to see if they make a run as well.

    I'm not sure Howard will leave. Ponds I think will. Powell I dont think will.

    Georgetown could be really good next year. Will be interesting to see how they look. I think those top 6 you listed will be the top 6 but I could see the order any number of ways. I dont have any faith in Mullin so I see them as a bottom 2 team without Ponds.

    What does Butler lose? Baldwin is back and that Tucker dude could be a pretty nice player next year. I just dont know anything else about them.

    Butler will still not have an inside game as they've recruited another big white stiff out of Carmel to go with Brunk.
