Dwayne Morgan Visiting SJU

[monte]

Just for full disclosure if Morgan was 6 ft 3 and averaging 2 rebounds a game I would be taking the fake moral high ground and saying we shouldn't be taking the risk

Risk? What risk? Haven't you read the other posts on this thread? There's no risk here. Zero. Off to watch the Bama game, need a break and a few cocktails after this.

MJ i am sure we all agree with you. The fact is hiscoach awarded too many ships for this season. Morgan's transgression made it easy for the coach to select who would not be back. HIs commitment would fill a glaring need for us at a time when there are really no other options. Once again if the kid misbehaves we used an available ship for one semester. Upside could be very high. To me this is a no brainer.

Agree completely.I want this kid bad and hope he gets the medical redshirt where we could get him for another year too

I'll be ecstatic if we get him

And I will buy you a pale ale and Lobster roll at Lunch on Highway 27 in Amagansett ( next summer ) if he commits to us.

Have some cocktails for me.

Were you out there this summer at all ? Nathalie just took her parents and brother there 2 weeks ago for her mom's bday. They got the lobster rolls of course

We are probably going to head out there in october before they close for the season. Will coincide with Pumpkin Ale time of course

Panther where exactly did I knock Matt?

Monte, it was my post he took offense with. Not sure how Matt making a living on reclamation projects at Iowa St. was an insult to our guys like Ponds, etc., though. What I said was not inaccurate.

 

[panther2]

This is Matt's field of expertise. He helped shape Iowa St. into one of the most exciting programs in the country by bringing in reclamation projects, and as far as I know, no one was a repeat offender while there. If he judges his character to be a safe bet to take a chance on, then I'm 100 percent behind the move.

It would be super lame for all parties involved though if we go through all the work and Bobby G. or another higher-up vetoes it like what happened with Anthony Livingston.

I'm fine with it too, but Matt also found Zach Brown to be a safe bet. Just sayin'.

Come on Monte Zach Brown was never a safe bet. He had plenty of issues that everyone knew about. Changing schools, getting into fights, Deplorable home life. However, because of his talent, Matt took a shot at him .

Now, if you have a problem with Matt's recruiting, talk about that. Someone else stated that Matt's forte is reclamation projects, smh. Is Shamorie a reclamation project, how about Yawke or Keita. Marcus Lovett had problems with his school work but since he has been here he has conducted himself as a gentleman. Owens, Simon, and Clark are transfers but none of them has caused any problems at their prior schools or at St. Johns.

Two years ago, we had absolutely nothing. Now we have what appears to be a competitive team, have secured a commitment from Roberts,are involved with some high level recruits, and some on here are trying to find fault with the program.

I am going to sit back and enjoy the season.

Panther where exactly did I knock Matt? I said countless times before, and repeated it on this thread, that Zach was a risk worth taking. And if you had read my follow up post about Morgan before letting your blood start boiling, you'll see that I clarified my OP. I have also said from the get go that Morgan was a risk worth taking and have always said that I trust the staff to make decisions with regard to talent level and character. I've lauded them for bringing on such great kids. I have been and continue to be one of his and the staff's biggest supporters. Please don't cherry pick my posts and accuse me attacking Matt over his recruiting. That could not be further from the case. Amase seems to be the only one on this board who actually got what I was saying.

If saying Matt found Zach Brown to be a safe bet ain't knocking him, then I guess I guess that I am wrong.

I don't know all the details obviously, but a disorderly conduct charge after getting into a dispute with a cab driver isn't exactly the start of a life a crime. We recruited ms Zach Brown after far worse.

I read a quote from the UNLV coach who suspended him that the arrest was not an isolated event. The kid clearly had issues. Hopefully they're in the past

Funny I thought I read the exact opposite, that it was an isolated event.

Potential depth issues aside, this is most talented roster 1-6 ive seen at sju sense ive been a fan. Ponds and Lovett could be best player on any sju team since hatten and we have them both.[/quote]


Now that is way over the top but this season will prove it out one way or another.

As usual Paultzman, you know how to add levity to any situation. Monte and I get along well, have had dinner together on a couple of occasions. Just have differing opinions on some subjects. Life would truly be boring if everyone agreed on everything. Peace & Blessings

 

[Sjugrad13]

Any more info on him?

 

[Mean Gene]

Happy or Paultz , do we know what our chances are with Morgan, when he's coming for a visit etc. Would really like to have this kid for this year.

He is set to visit on the 29th of this month and I would like to think our chances are good based off of his relationship with Tariq and the fact that we got a visit. Crossing my fingers because we can really use an extra body this year.

 

[Red.Fans]

this would be "big" for the season. Would be a lot better option than just about everyone else we looked at in the transfer market as well as the high schoolers we thought were coming in.

 

[SI1996]

Sorry I haven't read through everything. Why would he available to play now without having to sit?
