Not sure I see Wilcher as a starter yet. I know he started a lot of games for us last year and I hope he makes a jump next year, but I think we should still be looking for 3 starters. Hopefully one of them is Hopkins (maybe breaking today?)

Still trying to understand the story with Deivon.
Some suggest he qualifies for eligibility to play another season.
If Deivon wanted to return, could he? Even if it's for another team?
Think they are still awaiting NCAA decision. Not sure why so long or when it will happen

Staff operating on assumption Dev won’t get extra year. Imo, fans should also.

Copy.
In the event the NCAA manages to get to Deivon's case in time, do you think he'd be welcome back if he is awarded it?

Important note in this article is that not many are expected to follow Luis. Adding a few really high impact guys will be huge but in this day and age retention is massive. I’d love to see Ayo back as a senior with his leadership and grit, Sim and Brady to make big jumps in efficiency Junior year and some of our frosh come back and get some more PT as well.Rick Pitino gives bullish forecast regarding St. John’s future: ‘scratching our potential’

1. Shooting...from three...layups.....foul shots.
2. Getting Zuby the ball in the paint.
3. Breaking zones by getting ball to the foul line (and dishing).

Lots of similarities except he is not as fast, strong, athletic, and is already fundamentally sound. And Reuby does rhyme with Zuby.
He does have upside potential and will continue to improve here should he stay in the U.S.
Time to insert Hopkins at PF?
Prey is stronger than Zuby in the post.
I think Prey is as fast (if not faster) on defense with his rotations.
But the key thing is this year, Zuby was a junior and Prey was a freshman. Prey's year holds up better than Zuby's freshman year and is comparable to his sophomore year. Staff not recruiting any bigs should tell us how confident they are in him holding the 4/5
Can do a lot worse than Zuby-Hopkins-Prey-Vince-Maker.
Hard to envision all three getting major minutes, but we’ll see.
Highly doubt any of those three are getting major minutes next year if they come back.
EDIT: Paultz a little quicker on the trigger once again!
