Rick’s Targets

Re Zach about Conway:


VMI wing Sean Conway announces he has committed to St. John's. Quality shooter.


Sean Conway tells me he heard from Louisville, Penn State, Colorado and Northeastern, among others. But was pretty set on wanting to play for Rick Pitino close to home.
"I think the biggest thing for me was first and foremost to play for a Hall of Fame coach like Coach Pitino."
 
What do we know about the conway kid?
Four year player, from the last placed team (this past season) in the Southern conference. He is a 6' 5" guard. Should only have one year of eligibility left. Brings a bunch of experience and the ability to hit free throws and three pointers to the table. From Connecticut. Other than that I don't know that much.

 
Let’s not go typically SJU fans over the top. This is a solid end of the bench kid, nothing more. Part of the Drissa, Keita, Chapman 9-11 wing.

I don't think that's over the top- his FT% would directly translate (could be on the floor end of games if he can handle the ball) and if Pitino can draw up some plays for him then maybe he'll get a few minutes to spread the floor from three. I was thinking more in the 7-8 range rather than 9-11, but hey if we end up with 8-10 better players then great.

“Sean is a self-made player with a tireless work ethic,” Cushing Academy coach James Cormier told ZAGSBLOG. “He’s been efficient and productive at every stop along his basketball journey.


“He is a 3-level scorer, moves well without the ball, underrated passer and inch for inch one of the best rebounders in the country. His high IQ will allow him to compete at the highest level of college basketball.”
