Ian Steere Visiting SJU

[quote="Moose" post=302324][quote="we are sju" post=302322]While true Ponds will be gone and chance of Simon leaving but why is Heron def gone.
Don't see him as getting drafted this year. But w/o Ponds next year he would be clear cut best player and maybe move up his stock. Seems like it should at least be a thought staying one more year.[/quote]

I hate to pull a Marillac here with a prediction but Heron will have a better NBA career than Ponds and likely would get picked before him.[/quote]

Marillac loves Ponds like an infatuated Freshman cheerleader loves the High School QB1
He absolutely hates you for saying that and will soon start posting passive aggressive backhanded compliments at Heron.

Agree. Heron’s size, physicality & commitment to defend supports that view. Btw, Heron declared for NBA last year. He won’t be back is common view.[/quote]

I don't disagree. However Heron reminds me of a slightly less athletic Hamidou Diallo. Heron shoots better and no slight at calling someone less athletic than Diallo. But wasn't Diallo drafted in 2nd round?

Meant Steere...idk why I put Reese.. I don't agree that the team would be mediocre. I just feel that it will be a decent and well balanced team if things fall into place. If we have a successful year, I don't see Simon transferring his senior year, when this would basically be his team.. idk..I like to try to look at things from a more hopefully and positive perspective. Maybe when I'm older like some of you I'll be more miserable and negative.[/quote]

So you think we who are obviously much wiser than you have a FML attitude?
All I know is that in the past 17 years we have been to just THREE NCAA tournaments.
Two of those three appearances were under the coach we fired so Chris Mullin could restore St. John's to glory.
This is the St. John's we have grown old to. If the past is truly prologue then it would also be feasible that we underperform as usual. Chris Mullin is asked to step aside. We lose out on every major recruit. Half the team transfers.
We remain positive because we are fans who root for our team, win or lose. Yeah, sure.[/quote]

I supported Lav until the end. I'll support Chris until the end. Bottom line is win or lose its just a game. Doesn't have an real affect on my life. Obviously it's nice when they win. I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't. However, I think so far under Mullin the team has gotten better and this year looks to be the best so far. IDK.. I've just always looked at sports as entertainment and have never really let it get to me too much emotionally. My brother on the other hand, that boy will break a TV if he gets pissed enough over a game.[/quote]

Cmon man, you're not doing it right unless you're complaining daily with the rest of the grumpy old men on this site, led by the ringleader 72.[/quote]

Get off my lawn squirt! And, back to that Room 112 in your asylum. And, who are you calling me grumpy and old? I'll have you know Jack Williams and I are in the same astrophysics class and I was dating a cheerleader until she got pregger!
I am a very big Chris Mullin fan and have a poster of the Dream Team in my room right above his bobble head.
Now excuse me as I am typing this in the diner on Parsons Boulevard and need to send this freaking cold soup back!;)[/quote]

LoL at least you have a sense of humor!

Their are def grumpy old men on this site but I feel a majority of the complainers are the younger fans that never saw Mullin play and whose Glory Years are Lavin's first team

I have to agree. But I haven't seen him listed in mock drafts unless I've missed it. Wonder what he has to do this year to get into consideration.
 
Heron entered last year and also withdrew. If he receives feedback indicating he will be drafted I expect him to be gone. If the feedback is that he won’t then I’m not sure why it’s a foregone conclusion he goes anyway. Ponds gives off a vibe that he is gone no matter what, that is not the case with everyone.

In the end I hope Heron has a great year and gets drafted but I’ve seen nothing from him indicating that he will leave to go to play in Istanbul.

Staff thinking otherwise & recruiting accordingly.

Ponds is who he is. He is not going to grow so I can understand that his draft value is sort of set. I mean he can improve if he shows he is a true point, but he really isn't.
Heron seems like his stock could def go up though. Not sure why he would not consider staying.

As they should.

Decent~mediocre no?[/quote]

Yeah.... Sorry, raw. I see that as an average roster (particularly, without Achiuwa). That roster doesn't do much for me. And, I'm far from being miserable and negative.[/quote]

You're still young my dude ;-)
Im just saying, I don't see a rebuild and if (big if) we get Precious, I think it will be a nice little year[/quote]

Rebuild? Pretty sure you have to build before you can rebuild.
 
Paultz any possibility that both younger Steere as well as his father can man the middle for us tonight?

Is it just me or would it be nice if these threads would stick to a recruits visit and likely hood that they will sign or reports on their performance. If you want to conjecture about next years team, complain on how we cannot close, complain on how much Mullin sucks, or Mitch is a waste of a coaching slot can we just start dedicate treads to those subjects (or use some already started dedicated to the subject) so those of us who just want news do not have to wade through 6 pages of crap to get news.

Only one mans opinion but it is most definitely not you.

Be careful. Some of those predictions can come back to bite you. Here's one from Peter Vecsey's NY Post column on January 26, 1985 (which I recently found a clipping of):
Prediction: Rafael Addison is going to make more of an impact as an off-guard in the pros than Chris Mullin.

Why should this thread be any different from most threads where you have to wade through 6 pages of crap to get to one of my posts? :)

Imagine how many Uber rides Zaun would have to do to keep up the pace.

Can the elder Steere at least assume responsibility for our strength training program?
