I think it says something positive about St Johns since 4 of our 5 incoming players are on this list. Looking forward to this season with a positive attitude.

I just don't see Butler finishing 9th. They're always underrated and generally finish higher than predicted.
 
Former UConn and Portland Trail Blazers great Clifford Robinson has passed away.
 
Chris Smith laid the foundation, Donyell Marshall, Ray Allen, Rip Hamilton took them to new heights, but Cliff Robinson was the first memorable UConn player at least that I can remember. He was so damn long and aggressive. Remember him battling Shelton Jones.
And he turned out to be a better NBA career than most thought he’d have, being an awesome 6th man on those great Blazers teams of the early 90s.
RIP.

Sad to read this. His game was about 25-30 years before it’s time. 6’11” with a sweet stroke. He’d make a fortune in todays NBA. RIP.
 
I remember seeing him play at Alumni Hall in 1988. It was after that game that I realized UCONN was going to be a problem. I also remember Cliff more for his days with the Blazers and a few other teams in the NBA. I jut looked it up and he scored almost 20,000 points.
 
Not getting any respect @8 if we go by this we do not dance, guess we shall see I just hope we do better than last yr. each yr we have to do better than the yr before or we will be going backward

Have to love what Seton Hall is doing in the 2021 class if you're a Pirate fan...Kevin Willard and his staff have gone out and landed three tough-minded, competitive, high-character prospects that should uphold the culture that is in store in South Orange.

Tough League and getting tougher
 
Good for Hall, and Evans tweet structure could get repurposed for St. John's/Anderson, as Anderson looks for same characteristics.......

Hall is getting 60 to 140 ranks, and we go 260 to 440. Just trusting staff mindset that rankings don't matter.

Seton Hall's class is now ranked 10th by 247 and 15th by Rivals. They will look to add a big to this group, per a source. #shbb

Heat is on our staff! Really like the class they’re bringing in but the way this league is you have recruit at high level consistently. That doesn’t necessarily mean top 50 recruits but quality players that fit your system and so far we only have one for 2021 and still have an open ship for this season. I know our staff doesn’t leak , let’s just hope they’re really close on some guys. Fingers crossed.

Here's hoping something good happens soon.
 
What is the date we officially start panicking on the 2021 draft class? I havent followed high school recruiting in the past. Do we still have alot of time to get recruits for 2021? Give me a date where we should start panicking if we dont have another kid by?
