I think BE teams wearing BLM emblems on their uniforms is a very bad idea. Despite Val Ackerman’s note that it is not political or ideology, it is. To many people, a BLM patch is a reference to the Black Lives Matter movement and its demonstrations. To others it is also a reference to the riots, property damage, and physical harm to other humans all imposed by those who use the well-intentioned BLM demonstrations for their own purposes. BLM is also the symbol of the organization, Black Lives Matter, which, among other things, advocates “disrupting the Western prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another…”. Straight out of Marx. The BLM organization also advocates defunding the police. These are the things some (including me) will see when they see BLM patches on Big East uniforms. I think this is not constructive. And, finally, if a player objects, will he/she be allowed to opt out? Sounds like, not. Black Lives Matter IS an undeniable, indisputable fact. I really don’t understand how anyone with half a brain can’t understand that. The organization, on the other hand, stands for a lot of things that most Americans disagree with.

Who cares what you see... #BlackLivesMatter Do you agree we should disrupt the nuclear family structure and rely on collectively caring for one another? Do you believe we should defund the police? Do you believe a player should be allowed to opt out of wearing the patch?

I agree 100% that black lives matter but not Black Lives Matter. That's my point. Had the conference decided to wear a patch with its own message rather than the emblem of the organization, I would be cheering.

Who cares what you see... #BlackLivesMatter Do you agree we should disrupt the nuclear family structure and rely on collectively caring for one another? Do you believe we should defund the police? Do you believe a player should be allowed to opt out of wearing the patch? I really didn’t want to comment on this...but if you haven’t took part in a BLM protest, and by reading your comments you haven’t.. all the Big East is trying to say is black people lives matter just like white people live..

Do you believe a player should be allowed to opt out of wearing the patch? It says disrupt the “requirement”, aka the standard/perception that only traditional nuclear family structures hold value and that other systems are somehow inherently less than. Inform yourself. And that’s even without going into how obtuse your reading of the spirit behind the patches is (gaslighting?). Obviously it’s not meant to promote the BLM official organization itself.

Third four-star recruit of the class... nice recruiting! (Damn it!) "UConn assistant Kenya Hunter was the lead recruiter for Hawkins, who said he also considered Maryland and Seton Hall, among others. He is four-star prospect ranked as the No. 11 shooting guard in the Class of 2021 by 247Sports.com." Hunter is putting in the work to get guys out of the DMV to play elsewhere. Hopefully GU will lockdown this area soon, to keep as many DMV recruits to stay here and play under Ewing going forward.

I will be very curious to see how Kenya Hunter's move to Indiana will effect Jordan Hawkins recent UConn commitment.
Long term this is a massive blow to Uconn both on the court and the recruiting trail.

Black Lives Matter IS an undeniable, indisputable fact. I really don’t understand how anyone with half a brain can’t understand that. The organization, on the other hand, stands for a lot of things that most Americans disagree with. Please don't tell me how "most" Americans feel about something. Unless you have done a lot of difficult research you are just making that up based on how YOU feel. And let's find a better place to discuss political opinions.

"I’m an ideas person. I’m a gatherer, I’m a connector, so let’s figure out what else I can bring to the table to help. Recruiting is a huge piece. There’s only so much coaching up you can do, but talent alone isn’t enough either. How can I help impact recruiting in a positive way? How can I help build the DePaul brand? Whether it’s Chicago kids or national recruits, how do we get back to the limelight? Our generation knows the brand, but if we don’t hurry up and take advantage of that, there will be no generation who has seen that success." www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/ct-depaul-dewayne-peevy-athletic-director-20200824-6f5w36pz3zc23i5pptroqbbyee-story.htmlTwo questions not asked (or perhaps not answered): 1. What are his marching orders from DePaul? Is it to sweep the floor or merely to keep the lights on?For all the criticism levied at Jean Ponsetto, she never coached a game, and at some point Dave Leitao must swim or sink. It is nothing short of baffling in any major conference for a coach to finish last four straight years and get an extension, but if he doesn't turn it around in a big way there will be no extension in four years; in fact, I think we'll know by 2021-22. He'll be 62 by then and if DePaul is back to its old ways the buyout will come. 2. Is this a destination or a stop? Athletic directors exist behind the scenes and can make an enormous difference by longevity, Frank Rienzo being a classic example of this. On the other hand, history has shown how inconsequential Bernard Muir's stop at Georgetown was, because this was never a destination for him. Longevity can be good or bad (Ponsetto an example, too), but if Peevy is banking on this as a short term jump to Auburn or Iowa State, the level of change won't be as disruptive as it needs to be at DePaul. He's 47 and need to get some roots in Chicago. Also, if DePaul somehow takes off and gets ahead of Georgetown and St. John's, we'll all be talking about it, too.

Georgetown recruiting doesn't seem to get much coverage in the Washington Post. The NY Post is playing this one up.
"Assistant coach Duane Woodward, a Queens native adept at recruiting the area, developed a strong bond with the family. On the last Zoom call, Weston was told Willard wouldn’t be on it because he was on vacation in Montana. But Willard drove an hour away to get a WiFi connection and jumped on the call.
“That really showed a lot,” Weston said.

I will be very curious to see how Kenya Hunter's move to Indiana will effect Jordan Hawkins recent UConn commitment. Long term this is a massive blow to Uconn both on the court and the recruiting trail. Indiana: Archie Miller didn't have to look far to replace Bruiser Flint, who left for a spot on the Kentucky staff. Former UConn assistant Kenya Hunter coached Miller during his travel ball days and was an assistant for Miller's older brother, Sean, at Xavier. Hunter is a tremendous pick-up for the Hoosiers and he should hit the ground running thanks to knowing what his head coach expects from his staff and personnel. He is a tremendous recruiter that has done great work along the East Coast as is just as effective as a coach on the court. Hunter brings a different background than the other two Indiana assistant coaches and it feels like this is his final stop as an assistant before he lands his own head coaching gig. UConn: Hunter didn’t leave Dan Hurley empty-handed thanks to his successful recruitment of Jordan Hawkins and Javonte Brown-Ferguson over the past 12 months. While the shoes that he leaves at UConn will be difficult to fill, Kevin Freeman is among the few that should be up for the task. Freeman returns to his alma mater after proving that he can get the job done at the high-major level during his time at Penn State. A Huskies’ favorite that helped lead the program to a national title in 1999, Freeman completes a coaching staff that is among the best in the Big East. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/three-point-play-coaches-atiki-ally-atiki-big-east
