 RT @stj_basketball: The Lakers' Matt Barnes was here! RT @DanielJMartin_: Denver Nuggets forward Al Harrington is on @StJohnsU campus today
 
More great news surrounding the program.
It is fantastic that NBA players keep showing up on campus. 
 
 This is great! A couple of years ago we couldn't PAY these guys to come here. Now they're coming around because of the buzz Lavin's created around this program. THEY want to watch US! :woohoo:

You're kidding right? They come for Rico, and to a lesser extent Lavin with the UCLA guys, and it's a great thing. I'm sure they'd also provide political answers should the subject of STJ basketball arise but they're not coming because they're Redmen fans, they're coming to further their own careers. That in and of itself is a big kudo for the staff when they're recruiting.
 
of course, they're there for rico. he's practically a legend. that's why so many kids are in the mix.  they won't go to st john's because they're in love with jamaica, queens.
 
Does not matter why one is here but the who and where is significant as we are once again one of the crossroads to college basketball. :)

jarvis and roberts seem so long ago - like the dark ages

all the best

newsman have you been on campus lately , it is just great. We are no longer a commuter school and a large percentage of students (3,000 ) I believe can now live on campus. So for an out of town student wishing to obtain a college experience SJU can provide same.
 
 yes, i have. it's a great campus. really nice. my point is the recruits would go to to the old schermerhorn street campus to work out with rico...
 
 Wow I remember that brooklyn building and having classes in the army huts there. Then Jamacia campus came along and we thought it was nice. Now we have something in Queens to be proud of but it certainly can get better. It the program becomes a national power again ,it would be nice to bulid a larger field house. There is onlt so much room out there.But night and day from yrs ago
