He deserves his own thread for being an excellent teammate/playing and working hard. Wishing him luck.

Good luck to Drissa. He did all we could ask from him! Always cheering his teammates no matter the circumstances

 

[Marillac2]

Wish him luck and he will always have a place here when he’s done playing basketball.

 

[MugCostanza]

Good luck to Drissa. He won't be O'Mar Stanley but could definitely see him carving out a nice role at a level that suits him.

Good luck to a super hard worker and teammate. He will always be a Johnnie in my book and look forward to following his future exploits in the Keeping Up With Old Friends thread.

The first and last of our short-lived pipeline to LuHi has left the building....

This kid is a first class person I hope he finds a school and level where he gets playing time Wish him nothing but the best! Just lay off the threes Drissa lol

Normally in the world of NIL and free agency I don’t care when one of our paid professionals leave the program like some recent prima donnas but not with Drissa, he was a true gentleman and “team” player. Never displaying a poor attitude if he played 25 minutes or none. Best of luck to him and hope he can make a few significant bucks out of the move.

If you're human, it is impossible not to pull for Drissa.

Probably the best move for him.

Great kid. Hope he picks the right mid major where he can get some time. Would love to see him at a Hofstra type school. I’d go to watch on an off day

Good luck to Drissa wherever he ends up, a great model for an SJU student.

There goes our last chance at a 4 year SJU graduate lol

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Sad to see him go. But I get it. He wants to play and thats not happening here. Good luck to him.

Somewhere in Europe Amar smiles knowing his legend continues to grow.

He should attend Wagner College. Malik Booth is an assistant coach there. He would dominate in that conference. Plus….they are an NCAA tournament team.

 

[paultzman]

Drissa will be a success wherever he goes and more importantly in life, just a class act.

 

[jimredd517]

In this world of entitled players, Drissa is one of the classiest and hardest working kids to play at SJU. Always there to support and cheer for his teammates no matter the circumstance. Wishing you all the best young man... you deserve it.

 

[Notanalum]

I was actually hoping he stayed but Figured he wanted to go somewhere to play. Great kid

 

[bucketshardy]

ugh- i know i already posted, but this sucks. Was hoping he would get a Senior night next year and then transfer as a Grad-student and kill it in the Patriot League or somewhere for a Season.

Good Luck Drissa. Great teammate

Was hoping he was going to pass Amar A. as our last 4 year player.
