Rick’s Targets

[MainMan]

Don't be so pessimistic. You never know...

I too live in NJ.
So I understand the inherent pessimism.

No offense to the kid but outside of friends and family, what is the market for these shirts?

What’s the shipping cost for zero of these?

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Briscoe, Alkins, Diallo, Kofi, Mack, etc. etc.

As Yogi said, "It ain't over until it's over!"

 

[SI1996]

Basically all recruits do it on visits. It’s a photo opportunity and they expect it. When in the arena it is not uncommon for a tape is played introducing the recruit as if he was being introduced in the starting line up before the game.

Not sure how evolved this has gotten in college basketball, but the football programs are actually making videos with the recruits.

I did this with my 17 yo daughter the other night at a sweet sixteen 360 photo. It was embarrassing before, during and after just like Kelly looks. Pray I don't see Pitino doing this.

Days are over for moral victories being acceptable.

IMO, there's no such thing as moral victories in recruiting. It's not like you can split the player. You either get him/her or you don't.

Not always the case.

 

[SLYFOXX1968]

Not always the case.

Hoping for some noise today. At least there will be some tomorrow either way.

If nothing else there’ll be lots of noise coming from MSG today.

I admit I have checked the Board 150 times .

Well this is much better than the NFL draft. MLB trade deadline pretty good though

Obesssive Compulsive disorder =
St. John’s posters, myself included

Therapeutic definition: the OCD cycle is generally the same: an intrusive thought leads to anxiety or distress, leading to a compulsive behavior.

imo intrusive recurring Thought =
current recruiting delays & concerns
Compulsive behavior =
check this site over and over

Custer was pompous ass and that's what killed him and his men. Pitino is a lot smarter.

I agree, though in this case I'll give the staff some credit since this may be the closest we've been to a 5 star in nearly a decade (Briscoe during Lavin's final season). Under Mullin and Anderson I'm not even sure if we had any top 10 players come to campus. Hopefully this is an indication that the staff thinks they have a legit shot and aren't just hosting him for show.

Fair points.
