Not sure if he is grad transfer eligible (although he did appear on a list someone posted last week), but would love to see us get Adjin Penava, the Serbian kid from Marshall if he becomes available. He is 6'9" 214 lbs., averaged 15.6 pts., 8.5 rebounds and 3.9 blks this year. Had a 25 point, 9 rebound game against Xavier back in December. I watched the game Marshall won in the first round and while this guy is not a bruiser, he is very skilled.

NC Johnnie I agree with you 100%. I watched Penava in that first round game against Wichita State and came away very impressed. He is a highly skilled player, with seemingly a high basketball IQ. He would be a great addition to St. John's if available.

Everything we ever wanted from Amar Alibegovic with an inside game. It means one thing. ........ he's going to either Butler or Xavier.

I don't understand the vitriol regarding Matt on this board? He has been tasked with basically doing the work of two people. That is not his fault. No, he probably isn't involved in the X's and O's as much as St. Jean or Richmond but that's not the job he was brought here to do anyway. I think he has done a good job considering the circumstances he was dealt. St. Jean is young guy who could probably relate well to some of these recruits and is really the one who be out there pounding the pavement with Matt to get some more players in here. It's unfair to ask Matt to do this all by himself. Also, if Mullin took the job for 2 million per and expected not to do any recruiting at all then he shouldn't have taken the job. He knows what it entails. I would not lay this all on Matt.

St. Jean gets killed constantly for having the audacity to not be a senior citizen and most days Matt has ten posts praising him for following a kid on twitter. You either have the coaches mixed up or the boards.

Given what ‘came down’ upon us this season and throw-in Tariq’s imminent transfer, we are frustrated to the heights of ‘frustration’—irked beyond measure about the s-l-o-w pace of recruiting 2 quality bigs.
Human nature—being what it is—we gnash and rant at the ‘messenger’.
In this case, poor Matt—our primary recruiter.
He’s criticized for not being able to be in 3-4 places and states at once.
That’s the way it is in Johnny-Nation these days.
Let’s hope for better times.

Well, our current recruiting ‘staff’ is ‘ghostly’ to be sure!
But ‘others’ do ‘some’ recruiting. Not defending it. Can’t compete effectively this way. It bites.

I don't think many people here have ever knocked Matt's effort on the recruiting trail. I think there are some aspects of his character that people have a problem with.
