After a few days of not reading the forum/message board, I thought I would come to this thread to see if Federico's health situation has improved. Clearly a mistake. It's kind of funny/sad to read people complain about this thread being 22+ pages long, but in reality, it's about a page and a half of content related to the original subject.

I hope he's feeling better, but I should wouldn't find that out on this particular thread. He's an asset on this team, and by all accounts a good kid who represents us well on and off the court. So it's a bit puzzling that he's getting trashed on everything from his playing ability to his heritage. Kind of pathetic.

Couldn't have said it better. This whole string is ridiculous.

How much you want to bet than when Lovett leaves next year or year after we have a thread of 'good riddance", "good luck in Uzbekistan" and maybe even a few "punk and quitter".

Next year when Mussini goes back to Europe we will only have "Thanks for choosing to come over here", Wish you the best" and "you were unjustly criticized".

Anyone want to take the bet the above doesn't happen?

And you expect that will happen based on what? Certainly not how we treated Harkless and Sampson when they left, and since then. Can't be based on how we've reacted so far to rumors that Lovett may leave. So what exactly are you basing your prediction on?

Oh come on. Every time someone leaves its addition by subtraction. Sampson was a cancer who made a huge mistake leaving early and had no shot at making an NBA roster. Good riddance to Christian Jones, who is not a Big East player. See ya Nurideen Lindsey, you're a pussy who quite on your teammates. Ditto Sima, leaving mid year. Conversely can you remember any posters thanking Quincy Roberts for his service to Saint John's and congratulating him for being such a good citizen and wishing him good luck in all his future endeavors? He was injured quite a bit, were there any 22 page threads expressing concerns about his head injury? Because I don't recall any.

There are always going to be posters who wish ill will to anyone who leaves, regardless of the circumstances. However the large majority of the posters will generally support the kids who leave the right way and/or for a pro career.

Is that racism though, or simply us being petty bitches 99 percent of the time? There have been horrible racists on these boards, but other than a handful of guys toeing the line these days with borderline racist jokes, I think the board has been cleaned up pretty good over the past few years.

I don't know Monte, but he seems like a pretty good guy. Never got the impression he was a racist from any of his posts. I can't honestly fault him for liking the Italian player if his own name ends in a vowel.

For the record whether he is kidding or not I can at least understand Monte liking Mussini because he can relate to him. My issue really is the people that keep trying to make Mussini into something he is not and won't admit THE Reason.
See for me I don't care, white, black, good guy, bad guy Jayson Williams. I root for good basketball players. Would like them to be nice guys but not a deal breaker for me. Would be great if I can relate to the guys on the team. But truthfully I don't want a 5-10 white chucker on ST John's so would be tough for me.
And yes part of the reason Mussini won't be bashed on the way out is people know he really won't have a big affect on the basketball team going forward. Whereas that will not be the case for Lovett. So yes I can see your point.

I didn't call anyone a racist and certainly not Monte. As you say however racists exist and some of them are basketball fans and some of them post here.

Jordan, Obekpa, Lindsey, Cook, SAMPSON
If it doesn't happen I will say I was wrong. Lets see
You are right Harkless seemed to get a pass from what I can remember

Lindsay quit on the team a few games in to his freshman year. Jordan and Obekpa had major problems while they were here. Not fair comparisons to Mussini or LoVett's situations. Cook was a long time ago and I wasn't on this board then, so I can't comment. As for Sampson, I think many questioned if he was ready for the NBA, but wished him well in his endeavors. Once he made it to the league, he was supported. If Lovett should leave after this year for a pro contract, I think most on here will thank him and wish him all the luck in the world. Do things the right way, and for the most part people will wish you well. There will always be those who don't.

My apologies. I thought that Monte thought he was being called a racist.

I root for Mussini to succeed a little harder because I like the kid, and because he's from Italy. That doesn't mean that I don't see his limitations as a player. Just like I took particular pride in the fact that the winning shot in last year's NCAA championship game was made by a kid from a Jesuit High School. Just like I'm a little extra proud of Shamorie and root a little extra harder for him because he's from Brooklyn. People have myriad reasons for favoring certain players. Could racism be a reason? Of course it could. But I'd like to think that isn't the reason for the large majority of posters on this board.
And for the record, I've bashed Jayson Williams mercilessly, and he is 1/2 Italian. And I despise Diblasio, although I think he's nothing more than a big impasta.

 

[redmannorth]

Just a suggestion to all who have participated on this thread to discuss topics other than Federico Mussini's health, if you don't want it to continue don't post unless you have something to add about his health.
Unfortunately this thread has taken a life of its own and has raised topics which are shameful to read. Racism, stds , just shameful. He is a great kid who does not deserve this crap.

 

[GardenCity62]

Mussini does have two attributes that can benefit SJU. He has the ability to score points quickly off the bench and he looks like he has the talent to make close to half his 3 pt attempts if not guarded.This skill doesn't sound too impressive but if Owens and Williams continue to improve offensively it could open up the court for them unlike someone like Ali whose man is going to fall back and defend the paint allowing Ali open shots.

Again not geared towards you.
I worked with a former player on Wall ST. Real good guy who did not have a great career here who still gets brought up and bashed from time to time. I sometimes will defend him based on fact he was a good guy. But in the end he was not very good here and I can't really argue against that.
For whatever the reason some on here who love Mussini can't seem to do that with him.

Sorry Monte, but I don't think you or anyone else has to defend themselves on the subject of liking Mussini.

I happen to like Mussini and Amar mostly because friends in the AD told me by exampke what great kids they are.

I like Mvouika because he exoresses a strong faith in his twitter feed.

I like Harrison because of how he fought through his issues to reveal a strong man of character.

And i like all the former players - Hardy, Harrison, Balamou, Lavin and many others because the follow our team game by game and root hard.

Sorry but injecting race into this discussion is asinine and doesnt warrant a direct response.

Beast ya had me right up until you brought up Lavin's name Appreciate the sentiments, and agree with you completely.

 

[Red.Fans]

Here is an anecdote from Hunter S. Thompson about one of Lyndon Johnson’s early campaigns. I got to hear some first hand accounts from Dr. Marvin Watson who was Johnson's White House Chief of Staff and later my business partner. I'm pretty certain that he would say this never happened but the lesson of the story is worthwhile nonetheless.

“The race was close and Johnson was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumor campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his barnyard sows.

“we can’t get away with calling him a pig-f****r,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”

“I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the sonofab****h deny it.”

Why don't we just stop complaining about, and seemingly, rooting against any of our players. The coaching staff will play whoever they think can put the team in the best position to win. We finally have a competitive team, with no knuckleheads, and we just destroyed the Orange slime, in their stupid dome.
Now, if we can get that little dog to give Creighton the "evil eye," we'll be in good shape tonight.

 

[Class of 72]

Hopefully no one here actually loathes anyone on the team or on redmen.com. While it is valid to argue the talent level of players in the end it is up to the coaches to decide lineups, rotations and minutes.
Nothing we argue here will change Mussini's role or influence the coaches one bit.
Some use sarcasm to describe their views and some are more politically correct but these are our players. They may not be taking us the dance but acting like a prom date left waiting for a ride is silly for a bunch of educated fans.
In the end these are college kids hopefully having the time of their life here in NYC.

Criticism of an aspect of a players game is not complaining. Players have strengths and weaknesses and mentioning players weakness is fine on a message board as long as the player isn't attacked personally.

I understand what you are saying, and I concur that saying player A is better than player B is to be expected, but hoping we push out players, mocking their names (Amar) and making demeaning player comparisons is unnecessary. Let's just enjoy what we have going right now.

An arena full of those malocchio dogs giant head cutouts, being waved around by fans would I think be pretty distracting. I hear AD Goff is looking for ways to get more students to games. Pass those things out.
