Posts That Exited the SJU Portal Thred

Years ago, when we lost out on another recruit, someone would bring up the mystery euro recruit, that never set foot on campus, never heard a name or even a team, but it carried us into the early summer. We're on page 178 and it's been quiet. We're about due for another mystery recruit story if we want this topic to reach 200 pages. Rick was in Europe a couple of weeks ago.....
Hearing about a mystery Euro PG right about now would be welcome.
 
Never seen the kid play but based on stats and competition, I’d rather have Sim. I recognize it’s the portal era but the good teams generally have a decent core of returnees. I’m not convinced Sellers or the Arizona State kid will be better than Sim. Let’s see who we bring in the next couple of weeks but I’m skeptical that we will be a top 10 team and that’s assuming Jackson is coming. Can’t even imagine what this Board will be like if we close the deal the deal with him.

They are going to be much better than Sim. Thats why Pitino recruiting them over Sim.

How is anyone doubting what Pitino is doing here?

He saw Sim up close for 2 years and it just wasnt good enough.

The standards are high here now. National championship high. Its not for every kid.
It’s shiny new toy season for you. Remember when we signed Sim?

I don’t think the comment was too far off, Storr would have had a hard time playing in Pitino’ system. If you don’t move your feet and hustle you don’t play for Rick or very limited, offensively he oozes potential but have to play both sides of the ball for Rick. Posh, a dog on defense but horrible shooter and very limited offensively. Loved Posh his freshman year but once his injuries started to kick in he wasn’t the same kid.
