Lowell Welter receives wonderful news on Draft Night. He's chosen early in the second round, going #33 overall.

Two of Lowell's Big East foes, Pitt center Orval Juan and Georgetown power forward Shelton Davis, are drafted first and third. Wing Ronald Chavis of West Virginia gives the Big East three lottery picks, as he goes off the board at #10, and his teammate, senior big man Booker Brent, is taken at #18.

Lafayette guard Kevin Wells decides to turn pro a year early and is drafted with the #45 pick.

When your recruiting class consists of one player, it can only be ranked so high. That's the position we find ourselves in, as Zach Cohen is our sole incoming freshman. The next highest one-man class is ranked #195.

West Virginia appears to be reloading very well, and I mentioned Georgetown's class already. We actively recruited their big names, DeQuinn Baldwin and Jacody Hinton. We also took a long look at Pitt signee Reggie Johnson.

On the other hand, I'm still trying to figure out how Marquette ended up with a single one-star recruit.

Kansas attracts the nation's top-ranked class, headlined by five-star players DeWitt Oliver and Jerrell Thomas. Ezra Love leads Kentucky's third-ranked class, while Sam Marshall is the prize player in Boston College's #5 haul.
