RJ shall forever be remembered as the 2025 Big East Conference Player of the Year on a team that won the Conference championship by 3 games.

Pretty- Pretty impressive.

Yea, it's sad that it took some of our fans time to recover from the tantrum they threw after the Arkansas game to come to that conclusion.

To me there is no question that his game still needs improvement and refinement. That's not a criticism, just an assessment. In college, his physical attributes allowed even bad decisions to turn into baskets, sometimes by his own putbacks, getting fouled, or by teammates cleaning up for easy layups.

Smart UCONN fans lamented that RJ was an assassin with a deadly midrange pull up that they couldn't stop. His 3 point shot improved, and drew defenders out to guard him, where he could blow by them.

Above all, a wonderfully nice kid, along with a cast of really likeable teammates that made last season's dream record of 31-5 really easy for New Yorkers to identify with the Johnnies as the poor man's Notre Dame of Queens.

Wish him the best and my best hope is that he becomes far more than a spare part on an NBA roster and develops into the highlight reel he was for us.

RJ ‘s statement is quite the closing comment on his time at St John’s .

Forget about his BB Abilities for a moment and absorb the heart felt feelings he committed to writing for us , fans and everyone in the St John’s community .

Few Players today give that sort of good bye to the their Schools . RJ did and threw no rocks at any Windows or People .

What can never be taken from him is his BE Player of the Year Award .. Our first in nearly 40 years .
Yes , he’s not Mullin or Berry and shouldn’t be compared to either Chris or Walter . Both , were College Players of the Year in 1985 and 86.
But , RJ’a place is forever in our Schools BB history is secure

Like others have commented ,,it’s unfortunate that many posters have taken their post season Criticism’s too far .
This team doesn’t accomplish what it did , without RJ and his contributions.
And , no he didn’t lose the Arkansas game by himself . Hanging that label on him is very unfair .

So , regardless of the next steps for him , he deserves our appreciation for what he did here .

Good Luck, RJ
