Things are picking up on the recruiting trail.
Georgetown is officially on the board for 2023! The Hoyas got their first commit of the class in four-star 2023 guard Marvel Allen (West Palm Beach, Fla./Montverde Academy).
Aside from that, there were a ton of new offers sent out this week across the Big East, as the crucial July recruiting month continues. Here’s the rest of the action from this past week on the recruiting trail. The transfer portal was quiet for once:

Other notes:
- If you notice an error, have news of a new offer, please feel free to tip me off—or Big East Coast Bias—on Twitter: @becb_sbn and @erapay5. I’ll update accordingly.
- Shoutout to Anonymous Eagle, Casual Hoya, Banners on the Parkway, Rumble in the Garden, The UConn Blog, and VU Hoops. We unfortunately don’t have articles on all recruits, but we got some help in filling some blanks from our fellow Big East SB Nation sites. Some recruits have clickable names, which will take you to a relevant article regarding that player.
- I recommend viewing the spreadsheet externally, since you’ll be able to use things like filters (Google Sheets has that option on the top-left, next to the print button.) and Ctrl+F (Apple+F if you’re on Mac) to help make searching for recruits easier. You’ll also have a bigger screen/window to look at the spreadsheet: Big East Offer Tracker, last updated July 18, 2022. Alternatively, you may view below.
