If Boo, Bill, Baloney Malone and some others pulled any more misinformation out of their collective arses they should just start a thread and keep us updated on that one single thread. I recommend a title like Shitz Happens.

You keep making fun of my user name class of 72. Are you not familiar with boo Harvey? Branch is indeed enrolled in classes here but he hasn't played a game yet. My understanding is that he would not lose his eligibility if he left.

Boo,

Thanks for the inside info on Branch! You and Bobre need to go out and celebrate when Moe is drafted # 15 in the first round of the NBA draft. That would be a great testament to Moe's rapid, almost meteoric, rise under the tutelage of your favorite coach.

How well the program is set up going forward? This must be mrs. Lavin writing bc only somebody related to lavin could think the program is set up going forward. Six frickin scholarship players and one legit big man who has struggled mightily. Not to mention talk of our best player going to the nba. I think it's great to be optimistic but you guys are frickin ridiculous. And what misinformation have I spread? That jakar was a lock? Or Rico? Or the mystery shooter? Wasn't me.

72, I know you're not familiar with boo Harvey, but how about Omar cook. He was this little pg who listened to the wrong people and left after his freshman year. I think he may have been drafted in the second round. Suffice it to say he didn't have much of an nba career. There was also a pg before cook by the name of Eric Barkley. He left after his soph year and did not have much of an nba career. I know in la la land where the program is on the upswing kids like mo harkless don't leave before theyre ready and guys like me are evil trolls who live to spread misinformation as part of a diabolical scheme to stunt the meteoric rise of the program that lavin has constructed. Indeed in fantasy land, moe has improved under the "tutelage" of lavin, notwithstanding the fact that lavin has only coached him for 4 games

Boo, if the real Boo Harvey were dead, he would be rolling in his grave after reading your comments! LOL!
I have no idea if you think all the players you referenced did the right or wrong this by declaring early. Cook for sure, Erick not, Moe should be compared to a player that played with Boo Harvey named Malik Sealy. Malik was one of the greatest players ever to wear the uniform. Both were 6'8, 200 lbs. I hope Moe looks at game film from those years and realizes he needs at least one, if not more, years to be as good.
It is also ironic you choose a name like Boo Harvey to criticize our young and short roster and moan the state of the program and the win-loss record of five freshmen, two of whom barley shave.
You see I do remember Boo fondly. A great redmen point guard who went undrafted by the NBA. I also remember him letting his team down by barley attending classes and having to be declared academically ineligible in 1988-89 when he should have led his team at the point guard dishing assists to his teammates that included Malik Sealy, Rob Werdann and Jayson Williams. We are talking about one of the most talented teams ever at St. John's but without Harvey they stumbled and bumbled to a 15-12 regular season record, lost in the first round of the BE tourney (15-13) but won the NIT.
I would have loved to hear your comments on that Boo-less team, it's losses, Boo's ineligibility, coach Looie's half-court game, etc., etc.
Boo, I forgot......more than you will ever know about our program.
Well said but unfortunately, telling it like it is draws a lot of enmity around here. Doesn't change the facts though. Last time we played real shorthanded post Jarvis the team fought every bit as hard as this years with a whole lot less talent. There weren't many games like the Cuse and cincy debacles and I'm just wondering where do we go from here. Have we seen the last of the good efforts? Have we seen the last of Lavin? I think it's critical for him to be seen even if he can't jump up and down. He's our drawing card - not Dunlap who has one tenth the charisma. The "doctors orders" thing just doesn't fly to me as long as Steve is allowed to fly, manage luggage, hotels, eating out etc. Just doesn't make sense to me when his presence could make such a difference. Does the anguish etc. he experiences in front of the TV really differ all that much from what it would be with the team? Sorry but I just can't see it. If I were out sick from the job and was found to be flying all over the country I'd be fired as soon as I got back. I had an employee call in sick from South Beach once. She became an ex-employee shortly thereafter. Bottom line is if you're sick stay home or it looks funny. I know there are fine lines here but I think the assistants should be doing the traveling in this instance. These are just my opinions and I'm sorry if they don't jive with some others but I am sticking with them until I see something credible to contradict them.
