Gottlieb's glowing endorsement = kiss of death
The schmuck showed his wisdom and sense of impartiality by picking his alma mater (Ok St) 1st in the Big 12 ahead of Kansas
And, by the way, F Jerry Palm
We're not finishing 7th

FWIW Dick Vitale just tweeted that word in the hoops world is that SJU can do big things and Howie Schwab is excited.

Isn't Howie an alum? If so, he should be excited
So should Fatcesa but we all know where he stands with his alma mater

Yes Howie's twitter bio says "Proud SJU Alum". He even has an SJU jersey on in his profile picture. Fatcesa is just a miserable human who hates everything about his life including his alma mater even though he's filthy rich.

Fatcesa is a pompous a$$ who thinks he knows everything about everything
I love it when Fatcesa clicks a guy off on his computer when the caller has a different opinion than him
In Fatcesa's world, there is only 1 opinion that matters and is correct - HIS
Quite frankly, it pisses me off when someone starts a thread on this site about him
He isn't worth the space or our time - to me, he is a turncoat that should be ignored

most people probably think he is a hofstra alum
Speaking of turncoats;
“@awfulannouncing: This Mike Francesa impersonation is one of the best you will ever see. http://bit.ly/1hi0DuA”
That was phenomenal

Big East Conference – Cheat Sheet
Predicted Order of Finish
5. St. John’s – The Johnnies have talent and experience at every position, but can third-year coach Steve Lavin focus the energy and establish discipline on this squad? Stay tuned, the season should be interesting.
First Team All-Conference
Guard – D’Angelo Harrison, St. John’s. Despite a six-game suspension to close the season, the Red Storm’s starting off guard was the second leading scorer on the Johnnies’ roster and remained Coach Steve Lavin’s most efficient offensive player. Harrison scored 150 points more than the Johnnies’ third scorer and used body contact to get to the line with the efficiency of a forward. Discipline is the key for both Harrison and the Red Storm.
Superlatives. Now Discuss.
Most Athletic – Jakarr Sampson, St. John’s
Best Shot Blocker – Chris Obekpa, St. John’s
Name Most Likely to Turn Heads – God’sgift Achiuwa, St. John’s
Team you don’t want to play in February – St. John’s…if Lavin has more than a collection of good players by then.
Best Facilities – Madison Square Garden, St. John’s “downtown” venue. The Garden is completing a four-year renovation project.
Postseason Predictions
NCAA – Marquette, Creighton, Georgetown, Villanova and either St. John’s or Providence
NIT- Either St. John’s or Providence and Butler
CBI – Seton Hall

Ehh...debatable no doubt but I would pick Sampson for most athletic. Him or even Felix. Both of them have springs in their legs and can explode at the rim better than I've seen other players on the team. Felix is only 6'2 (appeared more like 6'0 in person), but he can jump out of the gym. He can defend well and can run the floor. Don't get me wrong, Pointer has some explosive dunks and he's very athletic but I think Felix and Jakarr slightly edge him out.
Think Felix is the best athlete on the team but I can see why they didn't put him. It's good that we can debate this. I can think of three guys who might be more athletic that Jakarr on our own team. Felix, Dom, Rysheed. Christian jones is another freak athlete but I won't mention him cause I don't want to hear marillac talk about alligator athleticism.
Hahaha...Jones is good in straight lines.
I also think Balamou is the best athlete, but an argument can be made that either Dom or Sampson are better athletes. It really comes down to the criteria one uses to define athelticism. All I can say for sure is that those three are freaks. They might be the best athletes in the country and I feel confident saying they are surely the top trio of athletes out there.
I'm not sure if Jordan is in that class in terms of athleticism. Obviously he is more skilled than any of them, but he doesn't jump off the screen with athleticism like that trio.
Ill disagree. I have little doubt that Jordan is in that same class of athlete.
