Central Catholic hoop sources report that Carson Desrosiers has narrowed things down to three possible college destinations.
Desrosiers’ Final three in no specific, although this would be my preference, order are Arizona State, Wake Forest and Marquette.
Let’s see here:
Arizona State
Positives – Play in the wide-open Pac-10 where jump-shooting big men with passing skills are welcomed with open arms. Great weather through the season. And, oh yeah, isn’t ASU always rated the top school in the nation when it comes to female coeds? I’m just throwing it out there. I love listening to Barry Tompkins and Marques Johnson on the play-by-play, they are the Pac-10′s top tandem I think.
Negatives – I’ll have to stay up late Thursday nights to watch the Pac-10 game of the week on Comcast Sports Net. Seriously, it is across the country, so that could hurt some.
Wake Forest
Positives – Speaking of weather, does it get any prettier than Tobacco Road? Surely, this is going to elicit a response from proud Marquette alum and former Merrimack SID Jim Seavey when i state that Wake has to be considered the top academic school of the three. National exposure on ESPN, CBS, MTV, Animal Planet, TVLand … you name it. With all due respect to the Big East and SEC, the whole nation watches the ACC. Oh yeah, at some point, you’re going to play before the home folks at BC.
Negatives – There’s a chance you’ll have to play at BC. (You see, I’m taking a shot at Conte Forum with this comment, folks. Stay with me).
Marquette
Positives – Isn’t it the dream of every New England hoop kid to play in the Big East. Well, at least it was in the 80s when Mullin was at St. Johns, Ewing at G’town, Pinckney at Villanova, the Pearl at the Cuse and Billy D at Providence. Well, it is still the Big East.
Negatives – Every bruising big man in the country plays in the Big East, Pitt, G’town, UConn, etc., they all put the “ph” in physical. Winters in Milwaukee. Carson, did I mention winters in Milwaukee. Let’s see, the golf course in Greensboro, the pool in Tempe or the snowball fight in the Arnolds’ drive-in parking lot? You tell me.
