If you sre talking about Stepinac, you are incorrect. When Matt Abdelmassih was an assistant to Chris Mullin, he tried to recruit both Jordan Tucker and Brandon Randolph from Stepinac.A program we would have never been involved with prior to Rick.
Wow those are blasts from the past.If you sre talking about Stepinac, you are incorrect. When Matt Abdelmassih was an assistant to Chris Mullin, he tried to recruit both Jordan Tucker and Brandon Randolph from Stepinac.
Although don’t recall us actively recruiting Joel out of HS.Joel Soriano also a Stepinac alum
Did they really consider us? I feel like with Rick it’s not bs.If you sre talking about Stepinac, you are incorrect. When Matt Abdelmassih was an assistant to Chris Mullin, he tried to recruit both Jordan Tucker and Brandon Randolph from Stepinac.
endee is once again open to joining he BIG EAST, a conference that's twice the power of their current one. You think they're struggling now...........
Yes, we absolutely were.Did they really consider us? I feel like with Rick it’s not bs.
I totally believe you but to be fair was there any a time he wasn't like this ? Last year in I think June he had a st johns golf bag with his name on it at cherry valley in garden city and he couldn't stop talking Johnies to club guys.The guy is motivated as ever to win and to get SJU back as a perennial NCAA/top half BE team.
He eats, breathes and sleeps SJU basketball right now per a guy who knows him
He will coach as long as his body will allow it. And he hopes to coach 5+ more years.
Speaking more to his age and how his motivation maybe fading because of it.I totally believe you but to be fair was there any a time he wasn't like this ?

Heck the first practice Panther saw last year he texted me how he was stunned how amazing his practices were in detail and how insane his energy was and how tired Panther got just watching and Panther has more energy and knowledge of hoops than all of us combined
I was more worried he'd be doing what I do and bet on horses with finance namesSpeaking more to his age and how his motivation maybe fading because of it.
And the idea that he wore UK geat in Lexington had some worrying about his commitment to SJU.
Rick wants to coach as long as his health allows and tells Zach that he would welcome an extension. If I were within the upper brass I'd be petitioning to extend him at the first bout of sustained success this Winter. Keep him here until he's 80 and get it done this season.
