[quote="we are sju" post=296905][quote="Paultzman" post=296899][quote="AlBovino" post=296898]That's not a statement that patience will be paying off very soon. It sounds like a question of will patience be paying off very soon. Just more weasel wording.[/quote]
No need to get insulting. I was expressing optimism this will happen this week or next based on some feedback from Ct. circles. Sorry if I was not clear. If I knew it was a certainty I would not have included the ?.[/quote]

I have the utmost respect for Paultz and his sources. This is not a knock at Paultz who I view as one of the must read guys on here. HOWEVER his sources are not with the NCAA. His credible sources might be confident but honestly that does not really mean much in this particular case.Unless Paultz is trading emails or texts with one of the 2 guys hearing these cases I remain skeptical.[/quote]
Fair point man

Sorry Paultz, what does "CT. circles" refer to? Thanks[/quote]

Pretty sure he means Connecticut.

Whether that's true or not, the "weasel wording" reference is uncalled for and obnoxious. I'm genuinely curious about what could lead someone to be so loathsome on a college basketball message board.

Not my post. And I am certainly not beyond being obnoxious or uncalled for but generally not towards Paultz and not in this case.

Thanks, Paultz, not sure how I didn't get that one. Probably need an afternoon nap to clear out the cobwebs!

Understood, was referring to the poster of that message, who should be embarrassed for that kind of talk on here quite frankly.

Thanks Paultz for all the 'buzz' & 'leads' you give us. This Board would be 'for hunger' without you and other savvy guys.And 99%+ of us appreciate it.

I wouldn't even visit this board during the off-season (maybe ever?) if Paultz, Happy, and a few others didn't post here. Their sources have time and time again proven to be accurate, and I can't remember ever being misled. I definitely appreciate the updates.

Over the past few months and 104 posts this Al Bovino character has painted a pretty clear picture of what kind of person he is. The type you neither listen to nor engage. On to the next post.

With Heron, St. John’s is a potential NCAA tournament team, as his scoring would make the Red Storm a potentially dynamic offense. Dixon in another promising perimeter piece as he was the MAAC Freshman of the Year when he last played. Keita has Final Four experience with South Carolina as he’ll help on the interior.”

Paultz, apologies for being a pest lol but any word on MH? Should we be worried if another week goes by without an official ruling?

Besides the obvious contingency regarding Heron, the writer uses the words potential and potentially in two straight sentences. Seems like he is familiar with St. John’s.

We definitely have that reputation. The proof is on HolyLandofHoops.com. Fans of other Big East teams see us as that hype machine that never adds up. They are correct for the most part too. This has to be the year we get back in the spotlight for a positive reason. Also don't think Owens will be anywhere near the impact for TT as MH may be for us. Not even close. TT will get thrown around more and he will keep thinking he's a guard shooting the ball mid range and 3 PT range.

Paultz
Humor me. Lets say that he is not ruled eligible. Does he sit out the year and stick around for 19/20 in your opinion?

I find it hard to believe he would stick around, but you never know.

Now if he transferred would he have to sit out another year?
If he decided to go Europe route would make hardship request look like BS no?
