2017 Transfers

[paultzman]

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.

Actually that was "Escalade" of street ball fame & deceased brother of Mark Jackson.

This may come as quite a shock to a classy guy like you but I actually had no clue who that big guy was.
All I did was a quick search of Big Basketball Players and the dearly departed was the first jpg that appeared.
Hopefully, our actual quest for a live BIG is not already DOA.

So when did they change the rule that you can decomitt because the coach that recruited you has left or been fired.

I believe a school can release you for any reason and alternatively can refuse to release you even when there is a coaching change meaning there is no rule that a player is automatically released when there is a coaching change.

My youngest son was a ball boy at St.John's, along with Mark's brother. He ate my son up, basketball wise.

The article says that he can be released from his NLI because the coach he pledged to was fired. I never heard that one before

If you watched the old And1 tapes with Escalade it was actually pretty amazing how relatively quick and agile he was for his size. But boy he was huge.

Another thread about transfers that's devolved into nothing. I still can't fathom how we could have whiffed on getting a single useful big to put into our rotation this year since we basically don't have a single legit center on the team.

It's all Paultzman's fault for giving us hope.
We even struck out with Stu Gotz who said waffangool.
Reality is real, but what we see, that's all in our heads. Rumor has it the St. John's basketball coaches will try to make up for not having a true center by altering our perception of Kassoum Yakwe. What we will see is a new Yakwe. Not the 6'7 Yakwe that was too small to guards bigs but a 6'8 Yakwe who has added 10 lbs of muscle. If it's on the roster sheet, it must be true.
When one door closes, break in through the rear window.

Been like this for as long as I can remember.

Comes as a surprise, but St. John's is in top 6 for potentially reclassifying 2017 wing Sidney Wilson. Source said Johnnies in mix. #sjubb

Now told St. John's has been quietly recruiting Sidney Wilson for a while. Interesting stuff. #sjubb

At 6'7" and 170 lbs. I believe this kid is right in our wheel house.

Kidding aside, would be a huge get.

The fake news comment was a response to you saying he was a lock for us a few months ago, which was not the case.

You said, "Sid Wilson was considered a lock a few months ago for St. John's." Which was complete bullshit, much like 99 percent of your other posts.

Isn't it time for another unfunny Jessica joke? It's been a few hours since you told one.

1. We never stopped recruiting him.
2. A few months ago 24/7 has the probability of him going to SJU at 100%
3. The latest projection has lowered the probability to 67%.
4. Syracuse is pushing hard.

FWIW, Those that think that St. John's stopped recruiting him a year ago are getting their news from a different dimension. St. John's only offered Sid last July, 2016, and was one of the first schools to offer. That was only 9 months ago.

"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?

Funny how recruiting works. When all was swell and Sid was in 2017 class we did not recruit him hard because we only had 1 ship ( at the time) and then when he moved to 2018 he became desirable to not only us but others as well. Problem was that we were also recruiting 500 other kids for 2018 so Sid wasn't getting the attention he felt he deserved from St. John's . Now that he has floated staying in 2017 and our scholarship situation has changed... We are in love again lol . Apparently he has made it known to the staff that 2017 was an option for awhile now and secret squirrel has been on the case. I hope he gets this nut because Sid is one of my favorites

Not sure if making top 6 is something to get overly excited about, but I agree that this late in the game it would be a huge get. Mostly because the difference between an eight-man rotation and nine-man one is huge. I posted the other day in the Carter thread that if a big man isn't in the cards I'd love a SF just so Clark and Ahmed can get a breather after battling among the trees. Otherwise they'll just be shifting over when Yakwe or Owens come in, instead of shifting to the bench.
