4. St. John's has a legitimate Big East roster
Chris Mullin's first season as head coach of his alma mater resulted in an 8-24 finish, but the reinforcements have finally arrived in Jamaica.
The Red Storm will add two potential All-Big East players in red shirt freshman Marcus LoVett and JUCO transfer Bashir Ahmed while also adding a pair of four-star recruits in Shamorie Ponds and Richard Freudenberg.
Federico Mussini, Malik Ellison, Kassoum Yakwe, and Yankuba Sima all return after averaging over 20.0 minutes last year in their first season of college basketball with Yakwe set to emerge as potentially the top intangible player in the Big East.
A freak athlete at 6-7, Yakwe had nine games last year with four or more blocks and possesses the type of athleticism and timing that make him an absolute menace to play against.
Mullin got St. John's to compete on a regular basis during his first season as head coach, but now comes the hard part: manufacturing wins when the talent base of your program is comparable to everyone else in the conference sans Villanova and Xavier.
It will be real interesting to see how St. John's handles the first few times that it's in a 60-60 game with four minutes to play.

I will take it, 60-60, 240 seconds on the clock
BECAUSE, unlike last season when we lost most, in 2016-17 we will win some and lose some; yes, still in transition from nowhere to the big time; but we will win some and win even more the next go 'round 2017-18!
Possibly an explosive quantum leap of Ws by March Madness 2018.
Our talent, depth and experience, NONE of which existed at CM's hiring in the Spring of 2015, is on the rise, slow, steady, from the foundation up...it's on the rise.
all the best
