I know with certainty that this senecio will play out multiple times around the conferences. Unfortunately, without guardrails we are venturing into the abyss.
If it wasn’t for bad luck this program would have no luck at all!
This happening at every school. Not mutually exclusive to SJU.
That's one reason why I choose my words carefully when critiquing a kid. I don't buy the train of thought that says if you are getting paid taking crap is part of the deal.
Everyone wants to be loved. Period.
RJ in his 3rd recruitment will get lots of love and lots of $$. Will SJU love be enough? Obviously was wounded by attacks to his insta, how much,who knows? For certain it did not help.
Still has plenty of room for improvement. Professor Pitino best teacher around. Stay home, go far RJ!!
we just went 31-5 and have Pitino as a Coach, that there is luck!
Regrettably he will not be returning is my educated read.
If that happens it will be our biggest loss since our biggest loss.
And if so, could be the costliest 5 minute benching in our history.
Don’t think the benching has anything to do with it. Also think we will replace him and be just fine. Maybe even better. Yes, I’m crazy.

I really don’t think the benching had much to do with RJ leaving. These offers were coming benching or no benching. Money is money. I think his ego might have been bruised a little but nothing that couldn’t be smoothed over. This is all about getting every last penny he can while in college.
Devion blocked 3 vs Baylor my favorite
Exactly. I don’t blame RJ for trying to get as much money as he can. I also don’t blame the staff if they don’t want to get into a bidding war and pay RJ so much money that it hurts team chemistry.
don’t shoot the messenger but he’s not coming back to SJU. The benching has nothing to do with it. In fact, his fam realizes his decision to play for Pitino changed his life. There are no hard feelings here. It’s purely a financial decision to portal
Every player should hit the portal, you never know how much your worth until someone offers it to you.

My educated guess is Illinois. They have a Dominican connection with Antigua on staff. I’m sure others will be offering but that’s my guess.
His family sat baseline on the SJU side during the tournament. They are so appreciative of what his 2 years here did for him. They’ll be plenty of shitty posts from no name Twitter accounts calling him a sellout for leaving but everyone would make the same decision.
He gave us the best year from a player since the 80’s. He’s a SJU legend and I hope we treat him as one

I mean legend is strong. He gave us 1 good year. But i guess that’s the new normal now. But he’s not a legend.
He would be a legend if he came back and lead the team to greater heights. He had a great year and blew a tire in the tournament. His last imagine will be sitting on the bench because he was playing hero ball. A really good player and he will definitely be missed.
Zuby will be the one we will remembered as a legend! He made the choice to come back.
