Big East Freshmen Class So Far

[jbarajas0490]

This list shows there aren't many differences between 4star and 3star players, even stats across the board.

Dawson appears to be destined for FOY, but Posh is certainly making it interesting.

Those 2 are locks...after that there is a impressive group with similar panache. Lewis, Kalk, Jones, Harris, Tate, Breed seem likely to battle for the remaining spots but Odom and possibly Wilcher/Sanogo can sneak in with increased usage and a strong February push.

Early prognostication-
Garcia
Alexander
Jones
Lewis
Kalkenbrenner (exceeding all expectations)

I think Kalkbrenner would easily be a lock if he was getting 20+ minutes a game but he's sharing the 5 with Bishop.

I saturate myself in BE hoops and I have been blown away by this kid...he makes little to no mistakes! Smooth operator offensively and a legit rim protector....highly efficient in all phases for a frosh. Is Epperson healthy? If so, he just lost his spot at the big table.
You guys got yourself a 4 year pain in the ass for the rest of us.

BTW, can someone get that Korver/West traveling trophy going? A GOLDEN BUCKET would be epic!!!

Four years from now, BE teams are going to be saying “feels like Dylan Wusu has been around for 6 years”.

[xusandy]

Poor Kyky Tandy! XU soph who was a conversation piece last year as BE FOY, is now getting less than 5 mins/game, due to the arrival of Frosh Odom, Jones, and Wilcher, all of whom are as good offensively and better defensively than Kyky. Will he learn how to play defense or will he transfer? Kyky is a major offensive threat, and was the KY player of the year as a high school senior. I bet Calipari wants him!!

[Husky_U]

Lots of Johnnies fans have questioned the Anderson hire, but I think he's got something nice going. Rebuilds take time.

[butlerguy03]

With next year's class and the extended eligibility, Butler will essentially have 8 players in the same class.

They should be pretty good next year if everyone returns.

He was #75 by 247 sports and #69 by Rivals. The coaches stated from the start he is a sponge. Wants to get better and listens to the coaches. He does have great hands and very efficient around the basket. You're right he plays very efficiently and is a terrific shot blocker without fouling. He alters a lot of shots as well. Once he gets extra strength and stamina, he is going to be a force. Lastly, Epperson's body can't take full punishment for long periods. After all what he went through with the season ending injuries, it is great to have him part of the team and hopefully he can provide 5-10 minutes when needed.
