I really have to say after watching yesterday's installment of Big East Shoot-around, I really like Ed Cooley. Very down to earth guy, good sense of humor, and you can clearly see why he excels at recruiting...very personable. I love watching these episodes and I make sure to watch each one after work since who's really around at 3 PM to tune in live on a weekday? I am disappointed however that it seems there are almost no viewers. I think the most popular episode has around 100 views and that was weeks ago. It's embarrassing. I know it's still pretty new and many fans may not even know about it, but come on there's no excuse for those numbers. I was thinking at the very least there would be a few thousand views for each episode. I have been messaging back and forth with John Fanta (one of the hosts) and he was saying engagement on social media is very low. My guess is that for most fans who are not diehards like us on the board, they only start paying attention in November. I'd still expect way more than 100 though considering each school is covered...Creighton alone averages 17,000 fans at games, shouldn't we expect at least 1,000+ of them alone would tune in? I guess I'm just worried they won't do more of this stuff in the future and may discontinue the show due to low engagement.
