Isaiah Whitehead, SG (Seton Hall verbal)

Tiny Morton said he spoke to Steve Lavin today and asked him whey they didn't a spot for him at #stjbb
 
I think this is fantastic! He is a great kid! Seton Hall is a very classy basketball organization...hats off to them. But I'm also glad we have Lavin...he will lead us to 30 wins and a Final Four this year! Our offense will be #1 in the nation and we will likely get all top 5 recruits in 2015. Losing a McD's AA from NYC to Seton Hall is not a big deal at all, I mean...who needs those kinds of players? Not us! In Lavin we trust. I heard he was working on age-reversal cream he invented. Our plan is to apply it to Mullin, Artest, Barkley, etc. He really is a miracle worker!

Sometimes losing McD AA recruits is a good thing! We are truly blessed! I can't wait to see our offense totally dominate! It's not like we needed anymore firepower. Steve Lavin may not have won much with SJU, but he is one hell of a nice guy with slicked back hair and a gorgeous wife! Sometimes that's more important guys! What New York really craves is a slick coach who can recruit and marry a hot wife, but maintain a level of mediocrity that the fans all know and love! We want to be "ok", but not "too good". Remember that!

Is this kind of post more acceptable for you guys? Lol...

You're such a douche bag. If I get banned it will be worth it just to let you know you're a little whiney bitch. I dislike you and people like you. I don't think everyone needs to agree on chat boards however not everything is the end of the world. Go transfer to SHU and root for them you dip shit. Eff off.

How do you go about reporting this stuff to the NCAA? this whole thing smells foul.
Click to expand...

Again and again, there is nothing illegal in what SHU did, it is done quite frequently and while it is sleazy it is not, I repeat, not illegal. Besides that it is not against NCAA rules. Also, the NCAA doesn't investigate these types of things because they are allowed.
 
Will he sign early?
What if Hall tanks this year?

Just some things I wonder

Thinking the same thing. Although seeing Whitehead change his mind is more difficult to see happening with Tiny's new job in the balance.

I think the expectation is that the Hall will be a bad team this year. I expect they will be a bad team next year as well even with Whitehead.

One question - when do you think Whitesell will help us land a recruit?

Steve Lavin gets a standing ovation from me for not getting involved in this bullshit.

A coach looking to ride in the coat tails of his super star player? How is this no a violation of NCAA rules!!!! IW is the only one that got played and used today. hahaha!

Please ban me too for agreeing. I don't ever like to make things personal, but jeez Joe, take a step away from the computer and calm down before typing sometimes.
 
In all seriousness though, we have been played like a fiddle. SHU broke the rules without legally breaking them. No getting around that. You can be wrong and legally right. A coach essentially pimped out his own player for a position. And while people say SHU isn't the "hot school", the bottom line is the bottom line...they got him to commit and we didn't. And this just opened up pandora's box for Briscoe to commit and also some other player whose name I forget...it was a hispanic name though. Anyway, our offense either must prove to us it can be powerful once and for all. If not, then Lavin needs to hit a grandslam in 2015 and there are no guarantees the way recruiting is these days especially when you have the Hall doing grease ball stuff behind the scenes.

Once SHU gets Briscoe too, they will be every bit as dangerous as us, and no one else will laugh at those who said SHU scares them recruiting wise. Lavin apologists remind me of Obama apologists...just because a guy is nice and dresses the part does not mean he can win. Lavin has proven he can recruit but he needs to prove he can win. Now.

Is Seton Morton (or Tiny Hall) having laughs over this? Everyone involved with this should be a little humble and keep quiet. Everyone knows how this played out..

Neither agree or disagree, just quoting this to give the mods a chance to delete another one of my posts.

I see you you woke up from your nap.

His attempt at sarcasm was rather lame.

He's too much of an hysteric to see the dynamics in this recruitment, and instead allow his emotions to get the best of him.

Something must be done to this poster. I'm sorry.

Or someone let me know how the Ignore function works on this site.

It sounds to me like Morton played himself.

We didn't have anything to lose in the latter days of this recruitment. Morton tried to parlay it into a gig, and was brushed off.

So, he took his ball and ran to South Orange, NJ.
 
So the truth comes out.

I don't think anybody would be thrilled if it took hiring Tiny to get IW on board. It's a desperate move to get a recruit, and sets a very bad precedent for the future. There will be other kids coming along with HS coaches looking for the same deal. 3 days ago, nobody was even chattering about IW coming on board. Can't act like it's Lebron leaving Cleveland.
