2017 Transfers

[Class of 72]

JUCO big man Romaro Gill (Vincennes) has committed to Seton Hall, per a source. #shbb
Per Rothstein

Must be fake news. I was told there were no more big men.

Just because another team signs a big man doesn't mean he's any good. He's also likely red shirting next season per Zach B

I agree......just a little levity.

OK why does your levity always involve taking shots at our program? If it makes you feel uncomfortable you could even take it out of the Big East. Here's some starter material for big men:

Jim Boeheim

Akok

Cockburn

Maybe because our program offers up so much material. We need a big so bad he doesn't have to be good. Not like our entire roster is always filled with only good players. Sometimes there is a position of need that is better off filled with a not so good player as opposed to no one at all.

True. I was just hoping for some funny responses and didn't mean to pick on Johnnyfan. Thanks for ruining it!

I expect big news shortly. Matt has personal connections with a super secret player that he is not following on Twitter. I can't reveal his name but those "in the know" will recognize him in this picture.

Texting leaves so
much to be desired as to getting the tone & intent - funny, unfunny???
Words alone leave us short
Hence how often a poster needs to explain:
my post was glib, my post was facetious, my post was...oh well
Speaking w human voices = much better so
How do we make this site verbal...
Start a trend...
SJU will lead the pack if not on the court then at least online
:silly:

True but at least they are signing centers

Paultzman says we down to one. With all his misses I take that to mean we will end up with only Stu Gotz and two preferred walk ons. Unless that Jay Z kid signs and convinces Jay Z to become a fan and donate $50 million to the building of the 10,000 seat Jay Z and Beyonce Arena.

Interesting late defection from Gtown. Highly rated out of high school. Not for us, but maybe Uconn or Wichita?

Former Fordham player

So this guy is a former Fordham player, grad transfer, being courted by G'Town and Creighton. So why aren't we involved with this kid or this type of kid. Seems like their are a lot of kids out there but we're always a day late and dollar short.

I wouldn't mind seeing us try to get in there.

The question is why aren't we. Seems like there are several kids who could fit our bill, but we handle them one at a time. Could it be our lack of a complete experienced coaching team is doing us in.

Come on. If we went after a kid from Adelphi the peanut gallery would have a field day with us scraping the bottom of the barrel

Ed Morrow has transferred from Nebraska to Marquette
Sit 1, play 2
Good front court player - excellent pickup for them

"After speaking with my family and coaches, I have decided that I will graduate from Brewster Academy as a member of the Class of '17. I will explore potential options available now but may elect to do a postgraduate year at Brewster and reclassify to the Class of '18".

According to Zags, Syracuse, Texas, Maryland and Florida are working the hardest for Sid

Sid Wilson was considered a lock a few months ago for St. John's. Syracuse apparently has the inside track niw.
Major target to replace Bashir Ahmed.

Hasn't it been more like a year and a half since there was mutual interest?

Over the last several months our recruiting has been rated an D heard all the talk how hard it is to get players etc etc etc. There is no excuses now all came on board knowing it was not going to be a walk in the park. Large $$$ compensated should have given us a 6-9 0r 6-10 center by now. This priority wasn a glaring beacon of light for some time now and should have been addressed WE are running around like chickens with out a head trying ti fill the void, Poor planning Sure others on this site are in this camp.If not than I am way off base.Wamt us to raise our game . Yes we will probably be better but who knows with a good center we could have been a lot better next yr Maybe we can pull something out out our hat and secure a big

Maybe Paultzman can remember this recruit's name. He originally had 8 schools on his list. He is down to Georgetown and St. John's.
The only downside is he ate the other 6 schools.
