Let me know how you like it bama. My cousin was a huge PC fan in those days and of course I was a huge Johnnie fan. Saw that team play at Alumni Hall. Remember they also had Kevin Stacom out of Holy Cross high.
That may have been the greatest game I witnessed in person even though we lost 93-90. Ernie D with 41 Stacom 25 and our Billy Schaeffer 30. But the best part of the game was the rebounding battle between tremendous leapers Marvin Barnes and Ed Searcy where it seemed every rebound was grabbed at the top of the square. Oh how I wish I could see that game again. I’ll give a review of book after I read it after listening to Ernie D tell some stories he seems like a really great guy.
You have a way better memory than me. I do remember the great rebounding battle between Marvin and Searcy, Ernie D scoring a ton and that we lost a great game but could not have told you anything about point totals. Searcy was one of my favorite Johnnies, short but very underrated center for us.
As always thanks Dave great job with the podcast, very informative on all things Johnnie's!

Wanted to share with you guys the newest episode of the podcast that's about the current state of NIL, especially at St. John's. How Rick Pitino and staff have embraced it specifically with the Storm Marketing team. Storm Marketing has been the first NIL collective on the scene and has been instrumental in helping SJU be in the top half of the conference since day 1. Justin Kramer and Vin Ochani came on the podcast to discuss that and break the news of a brand new venture and arm of Storm Marketing they are launching to give people are new avenue to support NIL.
I hope you guys check it out.

St. John’s and Rick Pitino stepped up to the plate and went back to back, landing two home run guards in Deivon Smith and Kadary Richmond. I’m joined by Bryan DeNovellis who covers Seton Hall as well as other NJ, NY and CT teams & our beat writer Zach Braziller to discuss both guards, the fit, roster outlook and expectations
MASE great job on your podcast I watched it on YouTube last night....
great podcast as usual, Dave!
Great job Dave!
Ron, as most people know, posts on here. He is a great guy, who saw it all WRT St. John's athletics for the better part of 40 years.

Over 40 years, Ron Linfonte took care of the just about every athlete who played on Union and Utopia. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who has witnessed more St. John’s greatness. How do you pack four decades into one episode? You can’t, so we won’t.
Spread out over three episodes Ron joins me to tell story after story. His first hand account walking side by side with titans of our program.
On part one we start with his beginnings, Coach Looie, Chris Mullin, The 1984-85 season, the Final Four, Georgetown, Walter Berry, Bill Wennington, and the less discussed 1985-1986 season.
Come for the history lessons, stay to relive the glory days! Hope you enjoy

Thanks SJUDave & AH!!
Funny, just other day after AH posted a story, I posted he should write a book!! Podcast just as good...lol
Halfway thru this one.
AH likely wouldn't remember me, but I remember going into his training room or him at practices and games the year I served as baseball team manager under Coach Russo...'94-'95, the year they represented US in the Pan-Am Games. Then also did some office admin stuff a bit around Alumni Hall.
Everyone knew Ron. I've got a co worker about 10-12 years younger than me who was a captain of lacrosse team and he would always talk about Ron & his staff treattng him & his teammates.

Tremendous listen and must for those that followed the program back then. Kudos @SJUDave and @Alumni Hall. Can’t wait for the next segment.

Ron Linfonte returns to The Eye on the Storm podcast as we continue to weave our way through his legendary journey of St. John's basketball. In part two, we discuss the great Malik Sealy, the forgotten about 1990-1991 Elite Eight team, Fran Fraschilla's acumen and what he was building at St. John's, Mike Jarvis reassembling what Ron calls "the Beatles part two," and of course like only he can tell it, the absolutely legendary first hand account of being with the USA Select Team that beat the Dream Team in 1992.
I hope you enjoy!!
