GREG ECHENIQUE TRANSFERRING FROM RUTGERS

The Associated Press

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Rutgers center Greg Echenique is transferring.

The Big East Conference school announced Friday that the sophomore from Venezuela informed the school of his intent to transfer and that he has been granted a conditional release.

Echenique started seven games before his season ended last month when he had surgery to repair a detached retina. He averaged 12.6 points and 7.7 rebounds, while shooting 61 percent from the field with 16 blocks.

Coach Fred Hill said, “Gregory has been a valuable member of our program. We are appreciative of his contributions at Rutgers and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
——————————————-

NBE Blogger’s Take:
This is a huge blow to Fred Hill’s program. Echenique was supposed to be a building block in their quest to become competitive in the conference. Athletic director Tim Pernetti recently announced a plan to raise money to upgrade the RAC. With the continued decline of interest in the men’s basketball program as the losses pile up and the additional player attrition, he might find willing donors harder to come by.

Georgetown Junior Nikita Mescheriakov to Transfer

Report courtest of GUHOYAS.com

WASHINGTON – Georgetown University Head Men’s Basketball Coach John Thompson III announced on Tuesday morning that junior Nikita Mescheriakov (Minsk, Belarus/St. John’s Prospect Hall [Md.]) will transfer to another institution at the conclusion of the semester.

“Nikita expressed the interest to transfer to a school where he knows he will get more playing time than he feels he will get here,” Thompson said. “We wish him the best in his future endeavors and appreciate his hard work.”

Mescheriakov appeared in seven games this season, averaging 0.9 points and 0.3 rebounds.

A 6-7 forward, Mescheriakov appeared in 23 games during the 2008-09 season, starting the final nine games. He averaged 2.7 points and 1.5 rebounds per game, scoring a career-high 11 points in a win at Villanova.

In 30 career games, he averaged 2.3 points and 1.2 rebounds, connecting on 33.3 percent of his shots.
——————————————–

Mescheriakov becomes the seventh Georgetown player to transfer in the last five years joining Omar Wattad, Vernon Macklin, Jeremiah Rivers, Octavius Spann, Marc Egerson and Josh Thornton. The latest departure leaves the Hoyas with just nine scholarship players on their 2009-2010 roster with just over a week until the open conference play on New Year’s Eve aganst St. John’s.

JERONNE MAYMON DEPARTS MARQUETTE AFTER ONE SEMESTER

Story courtesy of GoMarquette.com

Milwaukee – Marquette University men’s basketball freshman Jeronne Maymon has decided to leave the program, effective immediately, head coach Buzz Williams announced Monday evening.

“We want to thank Jeronne for his contributions to the program while he was here and wish him the best of luck in the future,” Williams said.

Maymon, a two-time state player of the year at Madison Memorial High School, appeared in nine games off the bench for Marquette in 2009-10. He averaged 4.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game while shooting 48.1 percent from the floor and 55.6 percent from the free throw line.

2009-2010 BIG EAST PREVIEWS: IMPACT TRANSFERS

*********Follow NBE Sports on Twitter: http://twitter.com/NBESports*****

This could be an unprecedented season in the Big East in terms of transfer students making an impact on the conference standings. There will be nine teams counting on 11 eligible transfers this season to make an impact on their line-ups. The transfers range from the sub 6-foot point guards to the near 7-foot big men and everywhere in between, filling holes throughout the league.

All in all, we count 11 players as impact transfers this season, the number would certainly have been 12 if not for the preseason injury to Scott Martin of Notre Dame, who was scheduled to undergo surgery yesterday to repair a torn ACL. The transfer from Purdue was a projected starter for the Irish this season, but his return to the court will have to wait another season.

Here are the new names in the conference via a Division 1-A transfer that fans need to know in 2009-2010:

BIG EAST NEWS & NOTES (8/26/2009)

With a Rick Pitino press conference at Louisville slated for 3 PM, I put together some Big East News & Notes quickly ahead of it.

Also, WVU has released their non-conference schedule and it is very solid.

As for recruiting, there is quite a bit of interest in 2011 Michael Carter-Williams along with the Providence Friar staff being very busy hosting some of the top prospects in New England.

BUSY WEEK AT MARQUETTE

Two freshman cleared, one 2010 verbal commit and one player leaves MU

In news first reported by our good friend Alex Schwartz at Northstar Basketball, Brett Roseboro is Leaving Marquette before even starting the fall semester of his freshman season. It appears Roseboro had a falling out with the Marquette coach staff.

“Without question”, Quakertown (PA) assistant coach Toomey Anderson told Schwartz when asked if Roseboro would get a release. “They don’t want him. They said, ‘you’re not going to play here.’ . . . Brett’s not going to get minutes at Marquette.”

Roseboro was a late recruiting addition to the 2009 class assembled by Buzz Williams. Several Big East schools began showing interest in the face-up four man after an impressive fall showing in NYC’s IS8 League and a good senior season at Quakertown High School. Roseboro signed with MU in April, but after spending the summer session on campus, it looks like a quick parting of ways has occurred.

In other Marquette news, a pair of Roseboro’s would-be classmates, Junior Cadougan and Youssoupha Mbao have been ruled academically eligible by the NCAA Clearinghouse.

Word that Cadougan Cleared (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel) the NCAA eligibility center this week was welcomed news as the freshman is expected to challenge for the vacated point guard position and replace Dominic James who graduated last spring. The news came less than a week after it was announced that Mbao Cleared (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel) as well.

Mbao, a 7-foot-2, 215-pounder from Dakar, Senegal, was another late period signee for Buzz Williams. Mbao’s journey began in his native Senegal, then took him to Spain before finally ending at Stoneridge Prep in Tarzana, Calif. in June, when he graduated and the clearinghouse began to work on his case, as International students are often a tough trail to follow for the NCAA. Mbao was brought to tears when news of the NCAA’s decision was relayed to him.

In between the news of Mbao and Cadougan clearing, Williams and the Marquette coaching staff closed the deal on a 2010 recruit with a verbal commitment from Jamail Jones, a 6-foot-6 1/2-inch, 205-pound guard from Stone Mountain (GA).

MU Snares 2010-’11 Commit (Journal-Sentinel), their third, joining guard Aaron Bowen and JUCO forward Monterale Clark, as verbal commits in the class of 2010. Oklahoma, Xavier and Mississippi State were also considered by Jones.

By our count, the verbal commitment from Jones and the departure of Roseboro leaves MU with an open scholarship for the 2010 class. One possibility for the open ’ship is 6-foot-10 Lawrence (MA) Central Catholic PF Carson Desrosiers, who told NBE earlier this week he is setting up official visits with Marquette, Arizona State and Wake Forest.

Another possibility for MU looks to be KC Ross-Miller, a 6-foot-1 point guard out of God’s Academy in Texas. The former Kentucky verbal commitment is expected to make an unofficial visit to Marquette this week according to Michael Duncan’s ONPSS Twitter feed. Ross-Miller, who has offers from South Florida, Marquette, Texas A&M, Alabama, Oklahoma State, DePaul and Cincinnati, is also visiting Mick Cronin’s program at UC this weekend and is expected to visit Ohio State this coming week as well, Duncan reports via KC’s father, Tim Miller, who is the coach at God’s Academy.

For more on MU, we had our Marquette Summer Report published earlier this week. We will also follow-up on these breaking stories and recruiting developments in the near future here at the NBE Basketball Report.

BIG EAST NEWS & NOTES (8/14/2009)

Another Friday is upon us and it has been a week where Rick Pitino and his off-court troubles have dominated the news around the Big East and today his issues dominate our Big East News & Notes. The fallout is yet to be determined, but damage has definitely been done to his reputation and that of others. Some of the latest stories and reactions have been linked below.

Also, recruiting updates on Tobias Harris and Marquis Teague are included within the Pitino coverage and there are also recruiting updates on Jayvaughn Pinkston and the UConn recruiting visits planned for this week. Elsewhere, a couple looks at the 2009-2010 Big East for readers to check out and more info on new Pitt Panther Chase Adams, a look at the Marquette rebuilding process with Buzz Williams and St. John’s looks to get an early start on an important season for their head coach…

Read all about these in the links below!
——————–

The total fallout for Rick Pitino and the Louisville program amid the public sex scandal with Karen Cunigan Sypher has yet to be determined. With an extorion trial in the future, who knows what other details or ’stories’ will be coming to light. For now, the media outlets across the web are having a feeding frenzy with the sordid affair. Here are some of the latest articles and columns from around the worldwide web…

- The Hartford Courant’s Mike Anthony has a ‘Rick Pitino’ blog post where he posts the Pitino press conference statement in full. He also has the statements from the UL athletic director and school president.

- The USA Today has a notebook on the Pitino affair as a Louisville Student Group Wants Pitino Dismissed.

- Currently, Recruits are Not Abandoning Pitino in Wake of Scandal (AP Story in Chicago Tribune), but the road could get tougher. All four incoming players for 2009-2010 have been taking classes at UL this summer and currently committed players are sticking with their pledges, according to facebook messages. We will see how future recruiting continues as FoxSports.com’s Jeff Goodman believes that the Pitino Sex Scandal is Bound to Affect Recruiting.

- Shawn Teague, former Pitino player with Boston University and father of top Louisville guard target in the class fo 2011 Marquis Teague told the Louisville Courier-Journal that he and his family have No ‘Qualms with Pitino’ as the younger Teague is considering Louisville, Indiana, Wake Forest, Kentucky, Ohio State and Purdue.

However, once considered a commitment for UL at anytime when the summer began, the recruiting process of the Indianapolis (IN) Pike star continues to go longer and longer…maybe it is a coincidence, but the Pitino rumors began to swirl and stories leak out about the time many were expecting Marquis to pull the trigger earlier this summer.

- Another elite recruit, this one in the class of 2010, Tobias Harris recently talked to Dime Magazine about the Pitino situations. Like others are saying publicly as well, this Louisville Recruit is Not Swayed by the Pitino Drama and plans to welcome the UL coach to his home for an in-house visit September 12th.

Other schools coming by for visits include Kentucky on 9/9, the 10th is Georgia Tech, the 11th is Notre Dame, the 12th is Syracuse, Connecticut and Louisville, the 13th is St. John’s and Tennessee, the 14th is Oklahoma, the 15th is West Virginia, the 16th is Maryland and the 17th is Rutgers, according to Tobias in the Dime article.

Harris was also expected to be a participant in the Syracuse elite camp at the end of this month, but he expressed doubt that he will attend in the article.

- Another USA Today article wonders How Can Pitino Continue at Louisville?

- AP sports columnist Tim Dahlberg weighs in that Lots Can Be Learned from Sordid Pitino Affair.

- And, finally, here is Ray Mernagh’s take on it for NBE: Bell of the BE-ast: Pitino Edition.

We are also looking for the Big East fans thoughts, feelings and observations on the Pitino story, and anything else Big East related. E-mail the NBE Sports Network at nbeblog@hotmail.com and we will post fan reaction in a future mailbag! Keep it clean and respectable, include name and location, and you just might have your voice seen and heard by our audience, which ranges between 30,000 and 40,000 unique visitors a month….

One to more Big East News & Notes…

The Hartford Courant also had a brief update on the Connecticut recruiting visits of Josh Selby, Jeremy Lamb and Rod Odom as Selby Visits Thursday, Lamb Visits Friday and Odom Sometime Soon.
———————————————————————————–

Jayvaughn Pinkston has proven time and time again on the AAU and NYC high school scene to be one tough customer on the basketball court. Despite a game predicated more on power than skill at 6-foot-6, Pinkston will likely have a very big impact on the college game early and often in his career at the next level. The NYC product is being recruited by St. John’s, Marquette, Arizona, Seton Hall, Rutgers, Villanova, Tennessee and Miami. Recently, Pinkston Gets the Ball Rolling With ‘Nova and Tennessee Visits on the recruiting trail. Pinkston said he’d be visiting Marquette later this summer and had no plans to announce his college choice.

While NBE has been meandering through out Big East Summer Reports by team, a few other websites have some brief, early preseason looks at the 16 teams around the conference. The Hartford Courant takes a look at the 2009-10 Big East with some nice pictures from all 16 teams. CBSSports.com also has Offseason Observations of the Big East and the 16 teams.

Here is more, this time fromt he Baltimore Sun’s Recruiting Report, on late 2009-2010 Pittsburgh addition Chase Adams as the Baltimore Native Heads to Pitt for his final season of college eligibility. The former Baltimore Stars AAU product will reunite with another former Baltimore Star in fellow Panther senior Jermaine Dixon.

Jeff Goodman spent some time recently with Marquette head coach Buzz Williams and staff and got to catch up with some of the new faces around the Golden Eagle program as Marquette Rebuilds with an Anonymous Group (FoxSports.com) as the Buzz Williams’ era begins in earnest this season.

St. John’s will attempt to get a head start in a very important season for head coach Norm Roberts and his program as St. John’s Will be Playing Preseason Games in Canada (The East Coast Bias) over Labor Day weekend. These trips offer an early bonding experience for the players and the staff to put the players through 10 practices prior to the trip.

In June a couple of our favorite events will remain the Rumble in the Bronx at Fordham and the NBA Top 100 camp at the University of Virginia.

We are kind of getting off track from our regular News & Notes postings, sorry, I will try and be better in that area.

Today is kind of a wrap-up of some of the news and notes that hgave been hanging around for a couple days. May is the slowest of months around college basketball, but still some worthwhile news to catch up on including recruiting updates on Marquis Teague, Dominique Ferguson, Chris Evans and Ja’Quon Parker.

Mick Cronin is optimistic, Mike Brey hints at more Big East Tournament changes, Rutgers gets a head start on the 2009-2010 season, Scottie Reynolds continues his NBA audition and more can be found below today…

BIG EAST NEWS & NOTES (5/14/2009)

Here is another run through some news and notes in the Big East as the month of May seems to drag on…

Another player has left Rutgers as a transfer, but they might have a player trying just as hard to come into the program as a transfer, but his current team is holding him hostage! Marquette might be continuing the pipeline of players from under Wisconsin’s nose, but this one may sting even more since the player is a current UW verbal commitment. Also, recruiting updates on Alex Rossi, Ben Brust and DePaul’s continued efforts to beef up their staff with local recruiting talent and their offer of a local 2011 developing big man. Also, Pittsburgh basketball in the local area is having a renaissance and DeJuan Blair could be a big factor in that continuing. Tom Droney could be the next high-major talent from the usually barren area of basketball talent.

Also, DePaul looks to be adding a quality walk-on, USF is interested in a K-State transfer, there is an article on Pitt redshirt forward Dwight Miller and Jamie Dixon gives a brief look ahead ot next year in the Big East…

BIG EAST NEWS & NOTES (5/12/2009)

Let’s take a quick run through the Big East this morning and see what is news worthy. It has been rather quiet the last few days, outside of the continuing Rick Pitino stories, but it looks like the UL coach has nixed any thoughts of him leaving the Cards for a return to the NBA at this time.

On the recruiting front, another story on Will Barton for readers to check out as well as the news from ‘Fab’ Melo’s recent visit to Syracuse as well as a brief update on Alex Rossi, Chad Jackson, Latavious Williams and Jaquon Parker, sho got some serious spring looks from Big East teams after de-committing from ODU and has now opted to take an extra prep season.

Elsewhere, Mike Rosario will spend much of this summer playing outside the 50 states, including a trip to Spain with his RU teammates. Will everyone on the current Scarlet Knights roster be joining him in Spain? Another player is rumored to be leaving Fred Hill’s program.

Luke Harangody embarks on his NBA audtion tour, Villanova looks to be closing in on completing their coaching staff and Georgetown’s AD makes a curious move to another job…
