Realistic Outlook for Next Season
- Thread starter MakingPlays
- Start date
I won’t predict where SJU will finish in the big east because I don’t know enough about the other teams but I feel safe in saying SJU will be an improved team next season.
The new frontline players ,Nyiwe , the Purdue transfer and the recruit Stanley will provide much better defense around the rim than those who left and this was a major problem for SJU last year. They will also provide better rebounding.
Smith will turn out to be the outside shooter we all thought Cole was going to be.
And the biggest improvement will probably be next seasons Posh compared to last years. By the end of last season prior to his injury he was starting to make shots shooting off his dribble and with his quickness he will be so tough to stop when he makes his move toward the basket and stops and take fifteen ft jump shots. Based on how hard he competes I feel he will work hard all summer improving his already good game.
And there still may be additions to next years lineup.

Hey Paultz -
By my count at the moment we have Posh, Wusu, Stef Smith, Wheeler, Pinzon, Stanley, Traore, and Nyiwe for next season.
Assuming Julian returns, how many scholarships do we have left?
And how many players are in the transfer portal to potentially fill them?

13 the limit but to me one or two less is not a big deal. I don’t know what interior players they are chasing in portal at his point, but hear they have been active with Old Dominion transfer guard Malik Curry. I also hear rumbling fwiw that the door is not shut on Greg W returning.lawmanfan post=430459 said:

LOL, every thread on a message board outside of the post game discussion thread is speculative and irrelevant. The thread discussing if a kid will choose to come to St. John's when 30+ other schools have contacted him as well is ridiculously speculative and irrelevant considering most if any aren't going to choose St. John's and a lot of them won't even be choosing a school for weeks or months.mm52 post=430444 said:

Patience and perspective are so important and yet difficult to cultivate. It’s one thing to think about transferring another thing to do it. It’s one thing to perceive greener pastures and then there is the reality. Period.
Like people complaining about America well go somewhere else if you want, some of we posters will help you pack.
Some young kids don’t want to play for St. John’s well, that’s fine transfer to somewhere else and play. It may work out better for you and I sincerely wish you the very best!
Imho we have a good coach, a good AD and a pro sports president. Every school has positives and negatives. I still see us heading in the right direction.
So - if you believe the grass is greener on the other college campuses? You may be correct.
Then again...
And blessings to you!

Wait we are in on Malik Curry?
he’s from my hometown lol. Although so was Mikey Dixon... I still think Curry is a real good player.
averaged 15-3-3 this season
