Julius Hodge fires shots at SJU/Big East

Julius Hodge is softer than dogshit. We weren't too bad of a team/program to destroy his NC State team by 15...we had leads of like 30 too. Pathetic. He is one step up the disappointment ladder from Lenny Cooke.

These dumb ass comments aside, Hodge was exactly the type of player we wanted and would still take. He was not soft, he was tough and he led NC State to some good years. To say he is one step up the disappointment ladder from Cook is ridiculous. This guy graduated from college, and had arguably a great career while doing so.

Screw him for making these comments but a bad player he was not.

He is a disappointment any way you slice it. Marillac's preferred method of making a point is the use of hyperbole. Marillac thought that was generally understood. As far as that punk, Hodge, he's not a kid anymore and you'd think he'd be above kthe unsolicited knocking off a local team (that recruited him) publicly and without provocation.

if you got beat by Norm Roberts in his first year of coaching you'd probably never let go of the shame and anger either
 
Anyone who wastes their time tweeting with someone who makes absolute no difference with regards to SJU basketball and who himself sounds like a bitter ex boyfriend who was jilted deserves a special demerit.... LOL

Can't remember his handle, but Marillac battled him on Hodge for years. He bet Marillac that Hodge would be very good in the NBA. Marillac doesn't have to check the 2010 stats of the Guangzhou Freemen to know he won that bet.

Screw what kind of player this dirt bag was, the " balls" to contact a recruits parent has to show what a loser this low life has become.
 
I think the only important point is that in response to the tweets Mr. Beasley said, "who is Julius Hodge?"
 
What he did against us, while funny, is not relevant here. Lets talk about his comments, which have a lot of validity and merit to them IMO. I suspect you see the Donovan Mitchell cases of the world becoming a norm. The conference had a very poor showing out of conference and in the NCAA tournament but the league will only be weaker this year and without the big time draw of McDermott.

With the Big Five conferences drawing a line in the sand, the Big East really needs to keep up with the moves they make in terms of athletes rights and extra benefits they will receive. The AAC has already pledged to cover new cost of attendance guidelines if the Big Five approve them. The Big East would be wise to come out and do the same. The conference MUST be progressive here and must keep up with the facilities/financial support rat race of college athletics.

As for Hodge's comments about Beasley being too good for the "team" here, as many of us have said on here, the staff still has a lot to prove in terms of their competence.

I'd shoot the messenger, but it's been done before:

"After visiting a nightclub on April 8, 2006, Hodge was on Interstate 76 in North Denver around 2:00 a.m. when another vehicle pulled alongside his and fired several shots. Hodge was told he came within 5 minutes of bleeding to death. The case has yet to be solved"

Honestly, of course the Big East isn't what it was before the ACC raided them. Developing a great college basketball program is all about recruiting top players, winning, and then sustaining that. Does anyone remember what Georgetown was before Patrick Ewing? Is Butler merely a Fordham after Digger Phelps departed for Notre Dame? What happens if/when Bill Donovan leaves Florida?

No question the league has to recruit well to stay competitive or they may become a mid major. It's still a good enough league for a guy with NBA talent to get exposure and be drafted. Except on rare occasion, if at all, the league won't rival the ACC in top to bottom depth and no one should expect it to be.

Giving credence to a 30 year old NBA washout who can't even stick at the dregs level of foreign basketball is a waste of time.

Was it that Keith guy? Keith Mason or something like that? The guy I'm thinking of posted here, but a lot more on a NYC high school ball website that I forget the name of and I think went under. He was a really good poster there.

With the unfortunate current state of NYC High School Hoops, its not surprising that site might have gone under. :( :( :(

It was a great site. The posters knew everything about even the most minor bench player on the crappiest team in the city. It's also the first place I ever saw a KOB post.

The syracuse newspaper's website also has a very good high school fan board, but I haven't been on there in a while.
 
I say that we make this the last post on this thread. This clown doesn't need any more attention from us.
 
Not for nothing, but if he is inferring that Seton Hall got Whitehead because Williard hired his high school coach, isn't that something the NCAA should be looking into......(although that's pretty much assumed as this point, anyway)?
 
As long as he's got an assistant coaches job the NCAA won't do anything. The thinking is you only get 3 assistants, and only they can recruit, so if you're going to waste one of those 3 important positions on a package deal that's a gamble you're willing take. However a team can have an unlimited number of additional hires. Those are the ones that you can't use in a package or else someone will hire a father/AAU coach/handler/hanger on/groupie as team caterer or similar and get the target with no damage to any of the operations of the team.

This kind of thing has been, and still is, commonplace. Temple recently announced that it was hiring the father of Jalen Brunson, a top-20 guard for 2015. It was considered a done deal that the kid would go to Temple...until the father got arrested for sexual assault. It's now up in the air as to what happens next.

This actually plays into the Briscoe recruitment in an indirect way. Villanova wants Brunson, if they can't get him they will go hard after Briscoe, especially after not getting Donovan Mitchell, who they also were pursuing.

So Briscoe would be Nova's Plan C?

They were targeting 4 top guards: Mitchell, Bryant Crawford, Brunson and Briscoe. I'm guessing they would have been happy with any of them. But they lost Mitchell and Crawford just cut his list and Nova isn't on it - to the surpise of the Nova fans. So it's fair to say, they're getting nervous.

Actually, according to the poll results in this article, Briscoe was Plan C for the Nova fans.

Most high school basketball players have no idea who Julius Hodge is. I doubt his opinions would influence the decision of any high school basketball player.
