Rick’s Targets

There were so many great Riverside Hawks at St. John's in the 1980's and 1990's it was like the Hawks were the freshman team for SJU.
A list of players who played AAU ball for the Riverside Church Hawk's and went on to play at St. John's (feel free to add any I missed):

Wayne McKoy
Reggie Carter
Kevin Williams
Erik Barkley
Mike Moses
Lee Green
Reggie Jessie
World Meta Peace (Ron Artest)
Chudney Gray

Would be nice to grab another Glover from the program this year.

I’m not familiar with all the credentials that Glover possess so excuse my lack of knowledge , is Glover a SG or PG ?
 
For now with the Greek kid, Glover and likely Maker I think he sits on Jackosn and maybe Edgecombe as a fourt incming recruit.

4 incoming Freshmen maybe 5 is probably the right mix. They lose at least 6-Dingle, Jenkins, Conway, Ledlum, Soriano and Alleyne to graduation. Throw in an inevitable couple of outgoing transfers (that is just the way of the world now) I think he would like to fill the remaining 2-3 spots with transfers.

Keep in mind they are 1 over the scholarship limit so they don't need to carry 14 players each year.

Again subject to change things happen that cannot be foreseen at this point.
 
I think hes more likely a 3 in college. He’s got great size and there’s an abundance of 6’0 - 6’4 guards in college who can handle and live in the lane.
I'm getting to you! In a perfect lineup you have Wilcher and another combo 1-2 with Glover at the three. You could build that ball-handling and shooting in the aggregate too with Glover at the 2 and Dunlap/Luis/Taylor at the 3 and 4 spots like Uconn did this past year. The Greek kid eventually as well.

I'm not usually a fan of tall players at the 2 in college, but Glover passes the eye test for me. Maybe not as a freshman.

You’re coming around! I don’t see the ball handling and ability to get in lane that I think 1 & 2s need. I was saying the same all year about Storr and how SF made a hundred times more sense than 2 guard. Everything I see from glover tells me the wing makes the most sense. I’d be more inclined to play him at the 4 than the 2 personally.

Doesn’t mean you can’t get creative like you said and play 3 wings at the 2-4 and be successful or have forwards with better ball handling ability chip in.
 
One thing I learned this summer is that in this new world, we don't have to care about the scholarship limit anymore. If CRP sees an opportunity to improve the team, he'll jump on it.
Agreed. We have 6 players leaving after this year (not including any outgoing transfers). Technically, that leaves at least 5 open roster spots since we have 14 players this year. But with non-scholarship/NIL players now a thing, CRP has lots of flexibility.

Here we go! Get your popcorn ready!

The first one to seamlessly compare a recruit to the guys trapped in MainMan’s brick outhouse wins a month long supply of “likes”.
