Boogie (Days And) Nights

Sherman Sheridan & Grant said:
I enjoyed your post BrookJersey and appreciate your efforts to share all the information you had about Meeting Boogie’s father.
If one of our staff said they have zero interest I would think they know things that we don’t and some of the things might be negative or proof that this young man would not work out here.
Anyway after several decades of frustration and mediocrity 2000-20 I refuse to be anything but overjoyed with Rick Pitino, his staff, his recruits, his player development, his nudging the school toward better facilities and his connecting with MSG so we have a lot more games there.
What’s not to like? Especially in contrast to what we had to endure. Seems we are back in the hay-days of the 1980s and before when we were a desirable destination, top 5 in all time wins, and had talented players and enough to many Ws!
I like Ws lol

Errata SS&G not me, it was hattengoat who spoke to Boogie's dad and a member of our staff. Oh, I was trying to poke some fun with the agent % comment.

Which makes no sense since he could have always gone back to Arkansas.

Arkansas has a five star PG and a four star SG coming in plus Wagner. While he still can go back, they have already moved on. It is the smart move in case it doesn’t work out during his meetings and workouts. You have until May 28th to withdraw from the draft and by that time teams will have full rosters.

I expected him to return to Arkansas but understand the business and having contingencies just in case.

Should I Stay or Should I Go? Boogie Fland Has an NBA Draft Decision to Make

Point guard Johnuel 'Boogie' Fland was a high four-star recruit coming out of Archbishop Stepinac (NY) according to On3, garnering offers from Kentucky, Alabama
www.si.com www.si.com

"This action led many to believe he has a set destination in mind, likely his hometown team in St. John's, should he forgo the draft and play in the NCAA next season. Despite this rumor, many experts expect Fland to enter the draft, where he has been mocked solidly in the late-first or early-second round."

I subscribe to the notion SJU is positioned as well as possible w Boogie as one could hope. I believe he will end up in NBA on a team willing to take a shot based on his huge potential rather than where his game stands now. That said, between now and deadline to pull out of draft, a lot can happen. If he opts for college it seems crazy to think he would not consider playing here with a true title contender. In the meantime we’ll flesh out our roster, he’ll go through the NBA process and the chips will fall. To be in great position if stars and moon line up is reflective of how well the program is respected nationally.

Since he will cost big $$$$, is there a limit on our NIL budget? Can't be all on Repole's dime, can it?

Being the eternal pessimist, I wonder if stories like this make it more difficult for us to find our backup pg. If I were one of these mid-major kids looking for playing time, I’m not sure I’d commit if I knew there was a chance that we sign boogie and I become a benchwarmer.

Could I guess, but Rick can sell ice to eskimos. A kid w a potential second year like Darling also is a positive imo in terms of receptivity.

While there may be a limit to our budget , there is nothing to stop him from accepting money from Corporations while he is here. Nike has NIL deals with many college athletes. Chase may decide to use him in commercials. There are unlimited marketing opportunities available.

Repole is probably similar to Cohen and the Mets...there is probably a range they want to work within, but they will reevaluate after the roster starts taking shape. When you have a player like Zuby as a senior, then add what we've added, and you see a player like Boogie Fland available in the 11th hour...I'd think you have to go all in at that point. That might take away what you pay in subsequent years, but how many chances do you have to be a favorite to win the national championship?

From an economic standpoint and not as a biased St John’s fan, if this kid is not a lock Top 20 pick and based on what we are all reading he is far from that, he should come back to college (to whatever team will pay his rate) for a guaranteed 3 mil check at minimum, fine tune your game, get stronger and then go to the draft and play in the league as a 20 year old as a Top 15 pick.
