I think Providence lands a monster class, similar to our 2013 haul (I'll say Terrell, Malik-Abu, and Chukwu and possibly Kaleb Joseph). Georgetown already has a very nice class, and think they get one/two top guys (Elbert Robinson and Paul White/Ben Bentil). I say we get one more top 100 type, and Nova also gets a couple more (Phil Booth among them). Also, X is in very good position with Sean O'Mara and could add him to Swift and Sumner. Lavin and the Johnnies are a wild card, especially when he gets wheeling and dealing.

That's a pretty good haul for a mid major conference...

The only people who will call The Big East a mid-major are ESPN (ignore/dismiss you if they don't have your contract) and Becky/B1G fans who are jealous that schools like MU and Xavier are getting quality recruits in their area.

That was meant sarcastically in response to all those you listed above.

I figured that, but sadly understand that the term mid-major will be thrown around save some crazy and unrealistic early accomplishments (say MU and Georgetown making Final Four next year).
