In an alternate universe, Rick Pitino is touting his backcourt as among the country’s best.

He doesn’t mention whether Pitino’s attempted recruitment of Clayton affected Posh‘s decision to stay. Posh + Jenkins could have been a good duo.

We might be a little better but we are not 1 player away. We need a few studs.

If I were to rank the St. John's recruiting what ifs, it'd go something like this:

1. What if Lapchick allowed Bob Cousy to transfer in?
2. What if Lapchick wasn't forced to retire and landed Lou Alcindor?
3. What if Lou landed Dr. J?
4. What if Lou didn't botch Hakeem Olajuwon's recruitment?
5. What if Lou didn't botch the Gary Payton recruitment?

236. What if Pitino landed Walter Clayton Jr.?

More recently, I'd add Darius Miles and Lenny Cooke's eligibility as well.

How about this one….. what if….. Tariq Owens had not left prior to Mullins last year?

The skillset Walter possess is what is missing next to Daniss. At ball handling shot maker who can create his own shot. It would take so much pressure off DJ.

But yes, that what if's that hover above this program could fill a book as long as war and peace

They had solid chemistry as I watched Iona play a handful of times last season. As I've said on this site for nearly two weeks; Clayton Jr. and Jenkins would've wreaked havoc on the conference, and the former could've been the difference particularly the last two or three weeks.

I didn't realize how much Clayton would've meant until several weeks ago. I finally expounded on it a couple weeks back.

Posh, for all of his faults, would have created many easy points Pitino’s teams need.

I doubt Clayton wanted to play with Jenkins. I don’t think a single perimeter player on our roster would ever want to play with him again after this year.

Jarvis doesn’t get fired in season, Pitt thing never happens, Norm never gets hired,
