Rick’s Targets

FWIW (not much), that updated 247 Transfer Portal ranking has Jenkins and Clayton, neck / neck. Jenkins is ranked 56 and I think Clayton was #58.

He is dangerously frail and a lot of the clips I’ve seen that aren’t just his highlights show him getting picked on inside and on perimeter. Not much strength or athleticism and while we love our shooters there has to be more than just that. Not sure what he guards on the next level.

He's a shooter, a key piece of the State champion team, and a coach's kid whose dad respects Rick.
Brady could hit the weights, and Rick & Staff could develop him.
I could be wrong, but I like that notion.

He definitely could. Just my opinion

AND it’s good we discussed this important mens’ health issue. As you age, get checked!
Coach Steve Lavin’s Story:
St. John's men's basketball coach Steve Lavin has been diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer, the school announced Friday.

Lavin actually received the diagnosis last fall, but will proceed with treatment in the coming weeks.

"My family feels fortunate that through annual health exams, we detected my condition at an early stage," the 46-year-old Lavin said in a statement released by the school. "This past fall I didn't want to distract our team, but with the season behind us, we are now working with medical experts and taking the proper steps to tackle this health challenge head on."

Lavin turned around St. John's basketball in his first season. The Red Storm went 21-12 and tied for third in the Big East. They made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002, losing to Gonzaga in the second round…

"All of us as men can get it," Calhoun told The Associated Press. "I am happy for him that they caught it early. The cure rate then can be 100 percent."

Calhoun, who won his third national title Monday night, was diagnosed in 2003.

"I underwent surgery; he may not," Calhoun said. "But after the surgery I was back coaching in 12 days."

#sjubb has been a mess since Rick's arrival. Lots of accounts, including some established accounts, have posted scoops and virtually none of them have come to fruition. Trilly Donovan or whatever said Clayton wasn't coming here while St. John's fans said he was, and that was the only thing I think that leaked (a non-commitment). I believe all of Pitino's commitments have announced via verified accounts/news sources and none of them have leaked, so that's what we should expect going forward.

Most of these trolls are making educated guesses, such as when various accounts were posting the number "2" or claiming both Jenkins and Clayton were coming here. The latest round of educated guesses are even more obvious. Basically it's public knowledge that St. John's is meeting with a lot of big players this week, so attention seekers are saying "someone" big is committing "soon" and just hoping they luck into the right timing. Embarrassing.

Unless it's coming from a select few posters, mostly on this website rather than Twitter, then I'd give it zero credibility going forward. Count on the official St. John's account / NY Post being the main/only sources of accurate information until proven otherwise.
