As we approach the beginning of the 2014-15 Big East season, we look at some of the top players from each class. Notable names such as JayVaughn Pinkston and D’Angelo Harrison are some guys worth keeping an eye on.  These players will be relied upon to lead their teams to successful seasons.  Some will be relied upon heavily to score while other will need to provide leadership and toughness to teams with young players.

The Big East is reportedly “down” this year and it will be left up to many of these senior to play with a chip on their shoulders and overachieve.  The group includes a few fringe NBA draft prospects as well who can make a statement with strong finishes to their season.
