Some temple fan is trying to tell me on twitter he is transferring to temple. LOL. Then I said no it is between SJU or the NBA and he said he won't be back at St. John's he hates it there.

Does anyone have any info on sheed, paultz? Avon? Raw dog?
 
Jordan and Obekpa have two options: St Johns or the D League. Jordan could be a low first rounder if he stays another year (and gets his head on straight). Obekpa, who knows. I guess in his case he might as well start playing in Europe now and earning a living. Do they drug test in the Euro leagues? What about Turkey?

I think in the end Jordan will be back. Obekpa should, but he hasn't shown a high capacity for intelligent decision making so far, so who knows with him.
 
you think he's sitting a year lol. i thought NCAA tightened up hardship waivers now. Chances are he is going to sit a year and that won't happen.
 
I saw the twitter thread doesn't look like any substance there. Nothing to support it.
 
I've asked this question before: Have Sheed and CO been seen on campus since the season ended? If not then I think that answers the question.

And if they did not complete the semester it is harmful to our NCAA academic rating, no? I am curious as well.

The hardship option is out the window
I can't imagine him sitting out a year to transfer to any other school
Realistically, his choices are to:

A. Come back and improve his draft stock for next year
B. Enter the draft and probably end up in the D League
C. Play in Europe

Based upon his play at the end of the year, I would suggest that A is his best option
Having Mullin as his new coach should be a compelling reason to want to return
However, when it comes to these matters, logic goes out the window
Who knows what he will do? We'll find out soon enough.

If anyone knows if either are NBA players now or in the future, it's Mullin. They should sit with him, listen to him, and if her thinks they are ready, go. The likelihood is that he believes they have a lot of work to do, and they should do it here. Not for our sake, but their own.

Would that be the same D-League that Jakarr is playing in? If Jordan does leave for the NBA, he might know something that we all don't. I remember when everyone blasted Sampson for leaving, and everyone saying how they hope he enjoys the D-League. Well that decision has worked out pretty well for him. Who's to say that Jordan won't have the same results?

Yes, Sampson is a mastermind whose strategy should provide a blueprint for all underclass man struggling with this decision. Leave early, don't get drafted and be the last player to make the team that is tanking the season. I sure hope Obekpa and Jordan were taking notes.
 
I think it is in Jordan's best interest to stay, and that's not a biased opinion that's looking at the draft board and looking at the coach we have coming in right now.

Rysheed wants to take care of his family, it's honorable, we all understand it, that means he should make sure he has guaranteed money coming by getting drafted. Mullin is his best chance with his connections and knowledge of how prospects are evaluated in pre draft workouts.

With that being said, sheed might hate going to school and doing schoolwork, and leave anyway. I hope we have him back
 
i presume Mullin and Jordan will meet, as Chris will do with returning players. It will be their joint decision as to whether they are compatible and what role Mullin would forsee for Rysheed.

As a player, one would think Mullin could improve upon Jordan's skills, especially shooting the J.

Will that be enough to convince the kid? We'll see. I would not mind him returning but, it's Mullin's call. CO? no way.

In the coming weeks, we will find out about Sampson, Obekpa, Jordan & maybe a kid or two who wants to leave. Then we will get a better sense of transfers, new recruits & a projected roster. I am so excited about our future prospects under Mullin that I'm not losing sleep over a potentially mediocre team next year & anything above that is gravy. Program stability & prosperity, with a few bumps in the road, may be right around the corner.

There are only so many minor league teams in the NBA that has spots for such players
Jakarr was very fortunate (and smart) to hook up with one of them
 
I know for a fact Mullin is to sit with both late this week. Also trip to Louisiana is planned in upcoming weeks. 1st step is to organize new coaching team.

Good to hear. But I hope he gets out to Lousiana sooner rather than later. Don't want to give brandon a chance to have extended talks with other teams. I think he comes back either way, but still.
 
First off, forget the fact he was one of the greatest of all time....his last job was EVALUATING NBA talent. Hello!!!!!! Jordan and Obekpa want to go to the NBA right ? Stay ONE more year and soak up everything that a legend will give you. HE wants you to succeed more than anyone...he represents St Johns. This is a NO BRAINER, if Obekpa and Jordan leave they are both making a HUGE mistake!
If they stay, Hawaii, new media frenzy with Mully, and lots of instruction from Mully....they will be better for staying.Also it would be a GREAT jester for Jordan and Obekpa to tell Mully now they are staying so that could part of his press conference...how he is looking forward to coaching these gifted athletes...etc.....
 
I like how grown men most of which are probably typing froma computer in a cubicle at a job they hate telling a 19 year kid not to try to make money playing basketball. Some of you guys are hysterical. If he really doesn't like school why should he stay. Remember some of you are big into the student athlete myth. There is no guarantee another year does anything for him.

I hope he stays becuase the SJU basketball team will be much better for it. At least I am honest!
