[quote="redken" post=328964][quote="Jack Williams" post=328802]I’m sure I’ll be more level headed tomorrow when I cool down but this is easily the most disappointing St. John’s team that has ever been put out on the floor.
At least the Lavin team with DLo, Jakarr, Jordan, etc started 0-5 in big east and failed to their claw their way back. So we were let down early and knew what was coming.
This team makes themselves a solid NCAAT and is 20-8 going into March and then they suddenly stop playing hard. Remember how active our hands were in defense earlier in the season. So many deflections, so much attention to detail. Completely gone.
Ponds has checked out. He’s talented enough to get buckets when he doesn’t care but he can’t hide it on defense sometimes, he has checked out.
And heron has checked out even more[/quote]
Jack, I've seen --and endured -- a lot more seasons of St. John's basketball than you, but I agree with you 100% about this being the most disappointing team I've ever seen. Just infuriating. As for Heron, I'm convinced he's gone ... and if he goes, you can bet Nate Tabor's commitment will be gone as well, given his ties to the Heron family. So what's next: a new coach, an overhauled roster, and, of course, that old standby, another ineffectual four-year rebuilding process?[/quote] But, Tabor can never play with Heron anyway, sibce he's a 2020 recruit, and Heron would be a senior next year. So, why would his being here be so dependant on Heron?
