2023-24 Roster

That door would have been wide open regardless if we took Jones or not. Coaches would have no reservations about poaching players from another BE school if they think it’ll help them win

Maybe. And maybe I’m not paying close enough attention to other BE teams. And maybe I’m not paying attention to other conferences. But seems like we were the real first in the BE. And now all our guys have other BE names next to them. Might never happen but where there is smoke there’s fire.

From what I’ve heard Posh may be headed to Seton Hall

That wouldn’t be a good fit for him if the roster remains as such. That was a defense first team this year that couldn’t throw it in the ocean against most BE squads (our stellar “defense” excluded). Posh would fit well with Sha as a coach, but I don’t see how him and Richmond co-exist any better than him and Curbello failed to. And they have Femi on top of that who is basically a poor man’s Richmond. Unless Kadary leaves that won’t make sense for Posh if he doesn’t return here.

I believe there were two or three within conference before Jones.

I heard that too like right after RP was hired. I thought it was my Hall booster friend messing with me, but it appears he may have been onto something. They could use a true point

Except their most important and best player by far, Richmond, believes he is a PG. If they want him to come back, it is going to be as a PG. They already lost their second best player in Samuel to the portal.

Providence and Gtown were right there with us with that. And I have no doubt some others would have followed suit.

There were a # of contributing factors that led to his sub-par season…but I have to agree that he was not an inept offensive player…in fact, during his first 2 years he was a very reliable shooter/scorer on the pull up jump shots foul line and in…I always felt like SJ had a fighting chance when he was on the court during his 1st 2 years as he just had a will to win…

as I said, a number of things adversely impacted his junior year including, among other things, a role change, fixation on the 3 and others…all of which impacted his confidence which resulted in poor shooting even from points on the court where he generally was previously successful.

But, for me, the most puzzling thing about Posh was the fact that he either willingly ceded a leadership role or the coach didn’t make him a leader (along with Soriano)…in prior years it was Posh and Champ.

If you had asked me who would be our captain in junior year and beyond, it would have been Posh..but something changed along the way that put him on a different path. No idea whether it was him or the coaching.

Maybe a little of both.

If any of our former players transfers within the conference, then any rooting I have (or may have) goes right outta the window.

Lol. I’m almost with you, but did you not love the Georgetown and Pitt teams of the mid 80’s? I loved our teams, but still appreciated the rest of the league. I love our guys and don’t want them to beat us, but Posh and Dylan are still a part of St John’s lore.
