After Gus and Raftery, who is calling games on FS1?

Even if I wasn't interested in the Big East, I would watch games called by Gus Johnson and Bill Raftery and a lot of basketball fans will love them on FS1 this year. I wondered though who else they were going to have doing Big East games because that pair can't do them all unfortunately? Have there been any announcements? Who should we hope for or try to avoid?

Maybe regional guys?

I suppose that is an option although it would be nice if they had more guys dedicated to FS1.

It'll take some time to develop some teams. I, personally, think Rafferty with Johnson is too much and they're going to step on each other. Both would do well with a different types of announcer. Johnson with a X's and O's coach and Rafferty with a here's the facts play-by-play guy.
My guess is they will use regional announcers to start and develop teams from there. They have regional announcers doing B10 games all the time and will probably use those same announcers on FS1 for Big East games.

I'm also interested in who they are going to get to be analysts for the pre-game show or college basketball show if they have one...

Me too. They've
previously announced there will be a "Big East Pregame Show" prior to games with Ford Motor Company as the title sponsor, but there hasn't been any indication who the hosts/analysts might be.

The pregame show is a great question. I'd kind of think of former players perhaps- seems they are going with them quite a bit in their other stuff. Not sure if there's a coach out there they could get- maybe a PJ Carlesimo perhaps?
