2017-2018 Season
- Thread starter paultzman
- Start date
my argument is we are good to start the season, especially WITH Moose, but if we lose him, than get thrown our usual curveballs i.e.: mid-season transfers, injuries, academic problems, and of course foul troubles, can we recover then? Point is, I like many think we have a very talented squad, but our red shirts are a needed addition but we are expecting a lot from them and we learned last year we need depth and we virtually haven't improved body-wise. Im just saying why not use the ships on a year or two year player.

Unless M&M have a recruiting ace up their sleeves Fun better learn how to spell Alibegovic.
To leave 2 Scholies on the table for walk ons brings back Lavinesque nightmares.
I agree on two levels:
1) better defense and stronger defensive rebounding (important of course) would lead to
2) transition where he could really shine.
between him and Owens these two can really run the floor. until the defense develops however, this is lost. we barely saw it at all from Yakwe this past season. Saw glimpses of it first season.
Here's three seconds of Yakwe working on his hand/eye coordination
This is what Yakwe needs to practice with...start at 25 mph and work up to 75mph

And here I thought Clark and Owens would be starting alongside Ahmed, Ponds and Lovett.

I think it all depends on whether Mussini actually leaves. If he does, I think Simon becomes super sixth man and they go with some starting combination of Owens, Ahmed, Clark, and Wilson up front.
If Mussini doesn't return, Matt needs to find a fifth-year guard immediately. I think that becomes even more important than the big man he never found.

Owens is our only capable big man, how are we gonna start him? Yeah, that's sad but it's the truth. I'd save him until the under 12minute TO.
I hate to say this but unless we get another capable big man, or Yakwe improves a whole lot, we're probably a NIT team.
To me the different between the NCAA and the NIT is just one big man, and it looks more and more that it will depend on Yakwe.
Ya got 5 months to work on your game big guy.
It's Memorial Day weekend. Chill out, remember our veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and have a steak. You'll have plenty of time to complain all season long.
This is not specifically aimed at you, but I am amazed at how many people and even companies don't seem to understand the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Then again, little surprises me anymore.

St. John's will host Sacred Heart as part of its 2017-18 non-conference schedule, per a source. #SJUBB
Honestly, with what we already know about the schedule this year, I am OK with the rest of it being made up of low majors at home.
