I’m thinking of Jenkins playing in the NBA, Clayton an all American, Ayo, Pitino did a great job recruiting for Iona.

Also Nelly Junior Joseph and that Slazinski kid. Pretty remarkable to get them all to Iona

Just wondering if Rick’s Euro trip was solely about nailing down Imran commitment or getting a sense of other potential roster fillers as well.

Not a hint, just wondering if Rick’s Euro trip was solely about nailing down Imran commitment or getting a sense of other potential roster fillers as well.

Knowing Rick there is zero chance he only went there for Imran. I believe he has identified Europe as a potential cheat code. He loves having the upper hand almost as much as winning

Sorry Rick. We're stupid...but not that stupid.

Hindsight is 20/20 and we have it in the Arkansas game just as we have it in the Laetner game. Johnnies were on a 20 to 9 run prior to the inexplicable. Arkansas on an 11 to 4 run immediately after.

RJ was coming to life and scored 5 of his 9 total points in rhe 2.5 minutes prior to the inexplicable. He scored 0 from the bench.

Hard to believe, Buck Freeman, Frank McGuire, Joe Lapchick, Looie Carnesecca, Norm Roberts, no St. John's ever got CoY before.

This after some dopey friend texted me 30 minutes ago to say he heard a surprise announcment Rick was retiring. I searched everywhere and told him he was full of it.

Not from the AP, anywhere.

There were more than one for a long time. Louie got at least one from the Basketball Writers' Association.

AP didn't really take over as the be all/end all for that until the late 90s/early 2000s.

They’ve probably known each other a long time wasn’t Pearl on staff at BC,when Rick was at BU?

I forgot Bruce was on Tom Davis' staff at BC when the whole Henry Hill-Goodfellas point shaving scandal happened.

From Zach

-- Said Bryce Hopkins looked great. Thinks he can be a difference-maker.

-- Said St. John's will bring in three more transfers: Two guards and a frontcourt player. "We need to get some studs."

-- Said Simeon Wilcher will be back.
