Never too early for a season preview/BE Ranking

According to NBC Sports. Sure we don't know the rosters for sure yet, but it's still fun to talk about:

1. Nova
2. Xavier
3. Creighton
4. Georgetown
5. Butler
6. Seton Hall
7. Marquette
8. Providence
9. St. John's
10. DePaul

They're unclear who they predict will return with their rankings. Based on their first team presumably they have hart and bentil returning but whitehead leaving, could easily argue Providence is too low if bentil is back and could argue seton hall is low even with out whitehead.

Sumner on first team and no Trevon? I could maybe see Edmond being that good, but Trevon should be automatic next year.

Zags per league sources, reporting Whitehead will pull out of the NBA Draft and return to Seton

It's only "pretty likely". Nothing guaranteed. Rothstein even said this:
Eron Gordon's commitment puts Seton Hall at 13 scholarship players for next season. Writing is on wall with Isaiah Whitehead. #shbb

I like Zags but I tend to trust Rothstein more.

Thanks for the comparisons.

Separate issue-If he decides to come back, space will be made. I always looked at Eron Gordon as Derrick Gordon's replacement. Timing is setainly interesting however. The staff may have been informed and passed the word to Eron, hence his recent commitment.
