"Wait til he sees how hard it is to recruit"!

Keady is nothing if not a straight shooter. He is talking the truth of 5 years trying to lure kids to St,John's. The door is open now because guys are going to the Pro's and they'v e been to the tournament again, but it ain't easy as he alludes to..

Wouldn't you take our two recruiters over the prior two?

if you are speaking of Slice and Matt over Chiles and whomever, I would say yes.

Chiles and Lavin.
And I'd take them any day.
Remember who they brought in their first year.
Stop the hating-Lavin could flat our recruit.

Heard Lavin was going to sign with Fox Sports--Did that happen?

Agree. No one could out walk-on recruit Lavin.
 
I've heard it said previously about pros/former players not being ready for the grind (and humility) required for effective recruiting and that could be what he meant instead of specifically St Johns but either way I'm not worried about Mullin and staff doing the work in recruiting or anywhere else.

I agree Paul and want to add...
Being excited about and pro-Mullin-Slice-Matt does not necessitate being anti-Lavin. Different people, different styles, I'd be happy if Lavin were still here but thrilled with our new staff. And as I stated - IMHO, very humble - our new coach has a higher recruiting ceiling.

Yes all speculative & we will
have to see what shakes out. But I like our chances. Like them a lot.
 
Not sure if it is a dead period for recruiting but if they are allowed out I imagine they would be in CA right now for the Adidas Nations Tourney where both Alkins and Herron are playing on the same team, Team Rose I believe Team Rose is one of the four USA teams in the tournament.
Team Noah of the States just lost 123-69 to team Canada. I looked at Team Noah and saw Rico Hines was one of the two coaches for team Noah then understood perfectly how they could loose to a team composed of players of 2017 and 2018 which is coached by high school teachers and administrators. Enough said on my part.

Lavin could recruit but his team construction abilities were no better than Roberts. And then you consider that the two of them aren't worth a pile of Chris Mullin's toenail clippings basketball-wise there is no comparison at all. It's only a matter of time before kids realize the benefits of playing for a living legend who actually played for us. Not a coach in the country can touch his pedigree.
all. It
 
I must say i truly enjoy what Matt posts on twitter. IT is truthful , insightful And a good Easy Read. It has been a pleasure to date having him on staff and reading his positive posts about the coach , staff, team and program.

Good point Redmanorth!
just one of a myriad of positive facets
some subtle some wonderful
great time to be a St. John's fan!
Is there any other conclusion that can be made!!!
 
On Chris Mullin to St. John's: "I might have put this hire low at first but now I may put it on top. Two reasons. First, they are putting player development above everything else and that is what elite recruits want to hear. The comments New York coaches have made about their presentations and plans for getting guys ready for the next level sound a lot like Kentucky. This message works in recruiting. Plus, Chris has the NBA credibility. Second, they are working as hard as anyone at being in the right places and showing their top guys a lot of love. If they can get some momentum in wins and/or elite commitments it can go from there. The first steps may be hardest."

Whoever said this is spot on.
 
@NYPost_Brazille: Chris Mullin will throw out first pitch before Wednesday's #mets-Phillies game, #sjubb announces.

Beast catching. :)

Three points
1. Thank you for your post!
2. I have a similar feeling I ( and many) had before the Derby in anticipation of Secretariat running; could witness a big time act at SJU;
3. Please use your influence - or that of others herein - to insure every former player attending any game is recognized during the game and announce which section and have the player stand!!!

That would be class and taking care of our own.
That's the least we can do.
Thanks
all the best

You've repeated this request for quite some time, and it makes an awful lot of sense to pepper timeouts with announcements recognizing players in attendance. Not only does it honor the former player, but reminds fans of our rich tradition. Finally, any recruits in the arena will know that when they come here, they will not be forgotten. The only thing I would do to temper this is that some former players, George Johnson notable, are at just about every Garden game, so I'm not sure it makes sense to announce regulars every single game.
 
At Citi Field;

@StJohnsBBall: STRIKEEEE!!

@MikeVacc: Chris Mullin, from the top of the mound, delivers a southpaw cutter that splits the plate
in half. Because of course! #Mets #sjubb

LOL, love it!
 
Received a tweet saying SJU welcomed the largest freshman class of any Catholic U in the country. Looked like Carnesecca Arena was pretty well filled up. Hope coach got a chance to give a short welcoming address with an invite to attend SJU basketball games. Lord knows we can use more student support.
