LaPhonso Ellis picks SJU as his SURPRISE team

[Marillac]

Totally forgot about Felix in the hype machine of Sanchez and Jordan. If we have no (or only minor) injuries next season and most of the team shows improvement as well as more Big East ready bodies (i.e. Sampson adds some weight) this team is amazing on paper. Let's really hope Rysheed is the real deal, because if he turns out to be a fluke we will have a much lower ceiling. Jordan, Harrison, and Sampson need to consistently take games over if we are going places.

No doubt Joe... IMO, this might be the most talented roster(1-13) we have ever had at SJU... and if Jordan is legit we got a shot at the sweet 16 or better!!

Jesus...relax. We made the Final Four in 1985 with muliple successful NBA players and two National Player of the Year winners. This is a physicall talented team for sure, but let's be realistic.

I really hope I am wrong, but I just do not see Sampson as a dominant type of player this year. That doesn't mean he can't be very, very good this year. I just don't see him garnering the type of national attention Otto Porter got last season.

Umm, there were two POY, a hall of famer, and the the third greatest assist man in NBA history on that team, no? Plus a C with a 15 year NBA career and 3 NBA Championship rings. LOL you guys crack me up.

This year we make the Final4 at Cowboys Stadium and make a run at breaking the string of most NCAA Tourney appearances without a championship. I believe if we stay injury free and keep our team in tact we will have that little bit of luck we need to make it.

Consider me our good luck charm!

I look forward to being part of your group of posters this year! I hope that's ok...

Have a blessed day!

In addition to Mullen and Berry, Jackson was also an All American.
