Is Obekpa Next? No! He's staying!

This guy JayOn1 is really starting to annoy me. He's resorted to talking crap about all of our players on twitter, and tagging them in the tweets too. So they get to see this guy saying things like "good riddance" and "you aren't as good as you think you are" if I were a player on a team and saw a fan saying those things to me, I'd want to leave.
And now he's saying rysheed is a "problem child". Saying that he comes up with all sorts of excuses to miss practices and games, that's really out of line in my opinion, the stuff sheed went through this year warranted missing games.
Someone needs to shut this guy down.

The guy isn't a random fan, he's a former team manager. He knows the kids well, that's how he knows before anyone else who is leaving.
And if you don't think that Obekpa was a problem, and that Jordan comes with baggage....you just haven't been paying attention. Practically all season long we heard rumors that those two were malcontents. Where there is smoke there's usually fire. And in Obekpa's case, SOMEThInG went on on the bench in that game. We all saw it. Some of the posters here were even close enough to hear it. Who knows what exactly happened, but something happened.

Jack while this guy should not be posting info like this about the kids, whether true or not, we have no way of refuting what he is stating. I, like you, want to believe that all of Sheed's absences were excusable(we know at least some were), and that his reason for sitting against RM was actually because of tonsillitis, but at the end of the day we have no idea whether or not that's true.
Lav; "We wish Chris well, but I really like our guard oriented lineup enabling us to play the kind of ball we have always wanted"
So I guess it`s already done deal.
Is Green and Hooper next? Guess Adonis won`t why, why would he?
If no Adonis then no big man? This is becoming a big joke.
Why not eat two years on the contract? WTF is he doing?????
THE SHIP IS SINKING ADMINISTRATION WHEATHER YOU WANT TO ACCEPT IT OR NOT.
IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR SCHOOL THEN DO THE RIGHT DAMN THING AND GET THIS GUY OUT OF HERE.
WHY KEEP HIM IF HE`S LOSING EVERYONE? REMEMBER HOOPER AND GREEN ARE RUMORED TO TRANSFER TOO
I`M MORE PISSED NOW THEN AT ANY POINT IN THE SEASON.
Guess we`ll see in a few weeks if the administration really gives a shit.
HEY DONORS YOU PAID FOR LAVIN, WHAT DO YOU SAY?
After reading that SI article about what was going on at UCLA while Howland was the coach, I'd prefer not to go down that path.
What really turned me off to that guy was reading about how none of his players really had a relationship with him. That he preferred there be a separation. IMO, I want somebody who truly cares about his players and they will run through a brick wall for them. When I watch teams like Michigan State, Duke, and Louisville, you can tell those coaches and players are close. That they look out for one another. I would never want a coach who was all business. If that's the case, go coach in the NBA.

A friend of mine, who lives in LA and is a long time St. John's fan said Howland is a real hard ass. He's a good coach, but the UCLA players were continually looking over their shoulders after every mistake because they knew they'd be coming out of the game. They play much more free with Alford as coach. Also, something to consider if he came here is that he had no relationship with LA area coaches or the AAU coaches and Arizona was beating him for recruits from LA. Just a very uptight guy who is a successful coach. St. John's can't have that happen here.
Howland may not be the answer, but he is far from a step backwards. Regardless, it's doubtful he'll ever be our coach. As for blue chippers and transfers, while I admire your optimism, this year's roster was loaded with blue chippers and highly touted transfers. Not to mention the fact that most were upper classman. I sure wish I shared your optimism that a few blue chippers and transfers are the cure to what ails us.
