Several Big East programs brought in nationally ranked recruiting classes and struggled. Connecticut, the 1999 NCAA champion, started freshmen Taliek Brown and Caron Butler and failed to make the NCAA Tournament. St. John's couldn't even make the NIT field despite starting freshmen Omar Cook, who led the country in assists, and Wllie Shaw. Things should get a lot better for Virginia Tech next year when Dixon's a sophomore, Chase is a junior and Chris Exilus is a sophomore.
