Rick’s Targets

Quick, someone burn a Doug Wiggins jersey.

Soriano
Ledlum?
Conway
Alleyne?
Jenkins

Traore
Davis

Even if got Ledlum and Alleyne would still need a good 3 man and a solid big off the bench to be competitive

Seems to be a thread all players who have one year left and tons of experience.

It's odd how low-key Alleyne's recruitment has been. You'd think for a guy who averaged nearly half a game for the national champs that there'd be more chatter about him. All I can find on his recruitment is the below:



This doesn't even include St. John's, but I definitely hope he joins. Would be arguably Pitino's best addition given he's the only one who has played in a Power conference.

Just a comment. Lot of 1 year guys.

Positive is that seniors win and that will help elevate SJU in year 1 of Rick.

Negative is it’s a roll of the dice. Flashbacks of Durand Johnson. And 2024 is going to be a big turnover again.

Indiana might be upset with us this week. Sure hope so.

Welcome to the new world of college basketball

UConn fans really like Alleyne. Would be a very good pickup for us.

I'm iffy on Alleyne. Good size for a guard but just an average shooter. Has post season experience and played with and against high level competition.
BUT, he's coming from a dreaded nemesis Uconn so I sense an evil eye somewhere.
Call me superstitious.

Don’t let Rick get hot!

Phoenix rising from ashes

Now this is the news I've been waiting for.

Especially since it's from Slater who has been advising Mgbako.

In 3 years in ACC he never shot less than 37% from 3 and he’s a career +80% FT shooter. The shooting isn’t what I’m worried about it’s perhaps asking too much of him.

Let those flood gates open.

Montez Mathis just showed up at CA asking “Where is everybody”?

.......until he got to the Big East and Uconn where he shot .36 from two and .30 from three.
He thinks of himself as a starter. I'm not convinced.

 

[MugCostanza]

Still not quite sure how much inside info this guy actually has but worth sharing anyway

THIS would be BIG!

Point being, 3 years at a high major level is considerable sample size of quality shooting.

Who was the recruit who was down to us and UVA and we had a gunman on campus during his visit? He obviously ended up at UVA.
