I have no problem whatsoever with the site giving him attention as we are here to discuss ball and he is a key local recruit. I would have a much bigger problem with the staff if the staff was still pursuing him when the interest is not mutual but thank g d that is not the case. They are focusing on Monte and 72's newest favourite player Joe Girard(i) who would be a very good 4 year fit as opposed to a 1 and done at a position we should be set for in 2019-2020 with any of Ponds, Simon and Dixon.Hey, who's better than us?
Obvious he has no interest in us ego have no interest in him or what school he goes to etc etc Do not think this site should give him anymore attention jmo

Again, smart recruiting by the staff.
I love your west coast sense of humor.
I was facetiously replying to the Paultzman's comment that he is an "Elite player with better choices".
UNLV would never be considered a better choice in my book.
We rarely are a consideration for Molloy players because we are literally in walking distance. We also never seem to sign the children of former players. From LeRon Ellis to Maverick Rowan, we may be on an initial list or even reach out but are never a real consideration. That will include another Rowan soon with R.J. Barrett.
Sadly, most alums have no interest in having their offspring attend SJU because their memories are of a very different and parochial school. I have had relatives attend NYU, Villanova, UCONN and B.C. All could have attended SJU but I too never strongly suggested SJ be their choice. An 18 year old needs to be happy with "their choice".
That said we do a poor job of selling the school to the children or relatives of alums.
A nephew that ended up attending NYU was very interested in St. John's. He lived over 50 miles from the school and was offered a full ride as staight A student. He was going to major in Sports Management so I referred him to Tony Missere who was the chairman of the Sports Management program. My nephew sought his advice and told him about the scholarship offer but also a partial scholarship offer from NYU. To my surprise he recommended and convinced him to attend NYU. My nephew is in the business now but I was pissed with Mr. Missere because he thought so little of his own department. We are.......

And I your east coast sense of humor. STJ vs. NYU? He needed a meeting to decide? ;)
And of course he's still and STJ fan. As hard as recent times have been for the program they still could beat the Violets any year they wanted. With apologies to my buddy egghead who played for the shrinking Violets in the mid 80's.
