[quote="dee" post=345244][quote="RyGuyRedStorm" post=345234]Don’t know if anybody saw this but nice inspirational edit of the press conference yesterday.
Really excited to see what coach Mike can do. I honestly like our chances to compete next year if LJ, Heron and Williams stay. I think we would see a really good version of Williams next year. Don’t know what Steere brings but if he can hit the glass and if we can keep Roberts and Ellison and coach can really get them rebounding, we’re gonna be ok.
Best of luck coach Mike. Let’s make this happen.[/quote]
I read these comments and you guys are looking thru rose colored glasses. This is more rebuilding and the administration wants us to be suckers again 20 plus years and counting. ONLY ONE THING WILL BRING BACK OUR TEAM - WHEN ATTENDANCE PLUMMETS AND THE POWERS THAT BE FINALLY GET THE MESSAGE . I am not wasting another penny on tickets. It is over. They had the answers in Cleuss or Pitino and they picked a guy who just got fired to save money. WAKE UP!![/quote]
You sound like a broken record.

Potentially good news on recruiting at this late date. Very involved basketball guys in Oklahoma tell me that Coach Anderson was recruiting a great player in Oklahoma City area while at Arkansas. As of yesterday afternoon, that player had not made a commitment. So, lets see what happens. These same guys (Community & H.S. coaches) all spoke highly of Coach Anderson and said his reputation is top shelf. To a man, they all had nothing but positive things to say about the man.

Very nice spot (about a minute or so long) on ESPN's Sports Center late this morning regarding Anderson's hiring at St John's including several clips from his press conference with the players behind him.
Good publicity!!

Didn't you say you were leaving? Then, why do you continue to linger. If you're going to continue to post, do everyone here a favor and do it on Matt Doherty's Facebook page.

[quote="sjc88" post=345230][quote="we are sju" post=345228]I get recruiting is a worry but honestly outside of Pitino that was going to be a question for whoever we hired. I like our future outlook, though I have been wrong before and WE ARE ST John's....
For next year if LJ & Heron come back, we figure out who will play point, Steere / Roberts(if he stays) give anything I think we make the tourney.
I know that those are three big thing but I think 2 of 3 are very possible. Point guard thing is most worrisome.[/quote]
I agree with what you said. No way though this team is making Tourney without a PG or two. The style MA wants to play relies heavily on backcourt play. He’ll get someone but we’ll need to see if that is good enough.[/quote]
No worries. At his press conference, didn't CMA say his wife was his point guard?

I like TC, would of supported him here without a doubt, but to be honest Mike Anderson has done a lot more at the age of 60 then TC has ever done. Not a knock on TC but look at resume.

[quote="redken" post=344456]I think we'll all have doubts until we see it. And kudos to Cragg if it's true. He had deal with a bunch of fools, battled through, and it looks like he got his choice. Hopefully, this means he'll stay.[/quote]
If the two half-wits had their way, we would have had Porter Moser for eight years, or possibly Paul Hewitt. The immediate crisis has been averted, but the core problem remains.

[quote="redmannorth" post=345165][quote="MJDinkins" post=345154]I was hoping dee would show us Coach K's instructions on how he built an android known as Mike Cragg, and sent him to Queens, so he could demolish the St. John's men's basketball program.

The truth is Dee’s posts on this thread welcoming CMA are so outrageous they merit no response on our part. To compare a 17 year continuous winning record at high levels to Norm Roberts loosing record at Queens College prior to taking over the SJU job shows either a complete inability to analyze or smacks of some other agenda.
Bye dee is all I have to say and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.[/quote]
Just be glad we haven't heard from his 2 brothers, twiddle dee and twiddle dumb.

If we all didn’t know the gory details about the dysfunction in the coaching search and Mike Anderson emerged as a candidate, no question that his record, passion, commitment , and skill set would have put him at the top of any list! Any school would be thrilled to have him. In his press conference , he exhibited all the qualities that one would want for the job. He even incited more passion for the job than could ever be expected. His communication skills were on full display! Getting our three players up on the stage with him was incredibly effective and moving as well. Only question in my mind is who are the AC picks and I have extreme confidence in Anderson and Cragg that we will get the right coaches whether it’s any combo of Borman,Hsu,Day,Reid,etc. He will be successful! Any judge of talent and people should be able to see that. AND,with Cragg, this team will be Unstoppable! Mark my words. Any smart fan should buy any disgruntled season ticket holders Tix ASAP because soon you will not be able to get them. Any one buy stocks here? Buy low, sell high! And I’m a fan since the,early 80s and have read ad nasuem all the misery on this site! Go Red Storm!
Also don’t underestimate Greg Williams as your next point guard. Greg shined in his limited opportunities this year and I feel if given the chance he would have been great. He has excellent court vision , a good ball handler , and is great going to the basket! Ponds was not a great distributor, more of a combo guard. Simon was not a ball handler, much too much careless unprovoked turnovers. Greg will shine,mark these words, give him a chance under this new coach.
[quote="MJDinkins" post=345156]I'm born, bred and raised in the south. If any of y'all are familiar about anything when it comes to the south, one thing many of us seem to possess is charm. Mike Anderson seems to have it. He also reminds me of your typical southern baptist preachers by the way he presents himself. I'm not saying he'll automatically cultivate living rooms and consistently grab us 5-star and high-level 4-star players, but I believe he and a solid staff will be able to garner their share of 4-star kids. He seems geniune, and that may help along the way when targeting kids and their parents/guardians/coaches/advisers.
I'm not sure what can or will occur, but sometimes fortune favors the brave. In this case, Anderson was brave enough to take on this job, so he may be fortunate enough to have some success here.
I'm looking forward to our future prospects.[/quote]
All of the last 6 coaches were able to recruit and get top 25/NCAA tourney level talent here. Even Norm. And the last 2 coaches did so without even trying all that hard. If CMA rounds out his staff with a couple of top recruiters(get Borman here!) I have no doubt that he will attract a higher caliber of talent, and put together a deeper and more balanced roster, then any of the last 3 coaches did. Not saying that he'll attract Fraschilla level talent, but I'm saying he should be able to get enough talent here, and have enough of a balanced roster, to have us consistently in the top 25. I am hopeful(but nowhere near certain), that he can coach that talent up to at least the level of their abilities. If this is the case(and that's a big "if"), then CMA will have a nice run here. As with all the other coaching hires, even Norm, I remain cautiously optimistic.

Monte's 'whoa' guidance has toned down my enthusiasm.
I was at the Penthouse level, with great vistas of the City Lights and the Hudson; now I'm on the 5th Floor with decent Street Views. Lol.
But I like this hire. I think CMA will work hard.
He's probably not a recruiter the level of Fraschilla or'early' Lavin, but he's stable, genuine, and should be in it for the long haul
His comment about again 'having something to prove' resonated with me. He meant it.
His staff is key.
We shall see.
I'm 2 levels above 'cautiously optimistic' but off the Kool-Aid.
Gotta laugh.

Agreed, Fran was a first-rate recruiter and brought a good share highly rated local talent here. However, that was over 20 years ago, and for a number of reasons, there are a lot fewer players of that calibre in NYC schools these days. That said, I expect Anderson to do better than Mullin, who pathetically had only one local kid on last year's team) . If nothing else, we know he'll at least make the effort to get them here.

Fred I don't know about shining as our point guard but I do know he plays with confidence and never seemed hesitant even though he didn't get a tremendous amount of playing time. Loved his slashing and dunking after a missed shot.

[quote="ron " post=345246][quote="dee" post=345244][quote="RyGuyRedStorm" post=345234]Don’t know if anybody saw this but nice inspirational edit of the press conference yesterday.
Really excited to see what coach Mike can do. I honestly like our chances to compete next year if LJ, Heron and Williams stay. I think we would see a really good version of Williams next year. Don’t know what Steere brings but if he can hit the glass and if we can keep Roberts and Ellison and coach can really get them rebounding, we’re gonna be ok.
Best of luck coach Mike. Let’s make this happen.[/quote]
I read these comments and you guys are looking thru rose colored glasses. This is more rebuilding and the administration wants us to be suckers again 20 plus years and counting. ONLY ONE THING WILL BRING BACK OUR TEAM - WHEN ATTENDANCE PLUMMETS AND THE POWERS THAT BE FINALLY GET THE MESSAGE . I am not wasting another penny on tickets. It is over. They had the answers in Cleuss or Pitino and they picked a guy who just got fired to save money. WAKE UP!![/quote]
You sound like a broken record.[/quote]
What a difference in personality between dull Chris Mullin and vibrant Mike Anderson. Did anyone ever see the Redstorm Report each week Mullin acted as if he didn't want to be there. At least the parents of our recruits should be most comfortable and trusting in our new coach that he will take care of their sons. And by the way we can trust Mike showing up to recruit. Mullin got $2 million dollars but didn't earn it in my opinion.

Both Fred Williams and Jack of Virginia posted about the attributes of Greg Williams . I forget the game but this past season about three quarters thru Greg plays well getting some twelve minutes. The next game he doesn't even get to remove his sweats. Another Mullin head scratcher without any explanation.
Williams should thrive under Anderson's system.

It’s finny that you mentioned that about Chris’s demeanor during a press conference he literally looked brain dead during the process that my brother in law often commented about! Who knows maybe he was preoccupied with his brothers condition!
