If We Have To Suffer, So Does Everyone Else

Just in case you feel like the only girl at the dance without a partner, take comfort in the knowledge that we're just one of many Big East programs losing underclassmen stars.

Hasheem Thabeet is leaving early over at UConn. Pitt's DeJuan Blair is going pro and has already hired an attorney and a "marketing representative." Georgetown didn't have a great year and DaJuan Summers' decision to leave early doesn't help matters. DePaul's season was even less impressive but that won't stop Dar Tucker from leaving early from there. There's even a rumor that Orange-killer Scottie Reynolds could be leaving Villanova early, thank the lord.

Then again, this all just makes me sadder, knowing just how much Jonny Flynn could dominate the Big East next year. Forget I mentioned anything...

Not that it matters

but I think DePaul’s Mac Koshwal has also declared.

Because being a DePaul fan didn't suck enough last year

try this year when they play without their two best players from the year before!

He's going

to your favorite NBA team’s rival.

Which is awesome for you

Because Thabeet is going to get knocked around in the NBA for awhile.

Is it just me or does it feel like Scottie Reynolds has been at Villanova since the beginning of time?

Agreed

I think he was on that ’85 team.

Not "the beginning of time"

That’s Carl Krauser at Pitt.

I don’t want the Bulls drafting DeJuan Blair, he’s projected there by DraftExpress. Bad enough I’m forced to root for Aaron Gray and Ben Gordon. If Jonny’s there, they should take him, who cares if they already have 50 million guards, Derrick who?

j/k Derrick Rose is awesome, and going to win ROY, Jonny can replace Lindsay Hunter.
