Rysheed Jordan

Holy overreaction, Batman. All we know is that he is with his sick mom, and guys are projecting him leaving the program early for a dead mom.. It's Christmastime, and it gives him a few more days to spend with family. Very considerate of Lavin, and hope everything is okay. Certainly Jordan is proving his value to SJU, and maybe even finding that he is on a team where coaches and players care about each other.

I agree but it is nice to see the caring of the members
 
I wish him well. but, what makes this situation suspect is the "coincidental" activation of Balamou.

Rich, my initial reaction was to agree with you and Rysheed's mom's health issues do loom in the background. However, I found myself thinking of Reggie Jesse in terms of Felix, someone who offered much more as a complementary piece on a team that communicated extremely well, as opposed to being held out for the year and then still being here after DLO et al are gone. I don't think Felix has a basketball skill set to structure a team but instead has athleticism that makes a structured team work better because of Felix's extreme athleticism.

Say what? :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :huh: :huh: :huh:
 
This is not good for the young man as well as St Johns. If something should happen to his mother being the oldest child he will feel a sense of responsibility for his family, both emotionally, as well as fiscally. Money will in all likelihood become most important which will impact his decision regarding staying in school or opting for the draft. I do not have a good feeling about this! Does anyone know if he has a father, and if so does he reside with the family?

As a teenager there is little he will be able to do financially at present. He seems to have an extended family so he is not alone. He is not draftable this year regardless and playing overseas does nothing in regard to being close or caring for his siblings. How all this is affecting him emotionally and in the classroom is a bigger concern.
 
Sheed is constantly posting on his instagram account (no other team member is doing that) Is Lavin giving him a pass from that rule?
Going back to his mom being sick. Obviously i don't know but from his pictures he's posting it does not look like he's in a hospital. More like out partying.
He just posted singing some rap song with his boys
I am surprised not many of you are questioning his leave and the activation of Felix.
Also, him leaving as soon as semester ended is another troubled fact.

I am hoping that there is no drama going on but than again what kind of a season would this be if SJU didn't go thru drama.

He hasn't tweeted since the end of september. So what are you talking about ?
 
Can we get that last comment from Get Liquid deleted? Clearly, its factually inaccurate. In case Sheed or one of his relatives checks the site, I think it'd be prudent to eliminate postings that are not based on facts and are speculative (at best).
 
im trying to stay positive with this team. As of late, the team looks like it is finally starting to gel. The addition of Jordan playing well is a contributing factor. I have to say that i dont have a good feeling about this ordeal. If he is back for January I will be pleasantly surprised. I also think he is starting to blossom under this veteran team. Fingers crossed with this one boys. Prayers to his Mom, Merry Christmas to all, and Go Johnnies !!!!

I agree. You typically don't activate a redshirt to play in a crowded backcourt unless a) you strongly feel that he adds a dimension you don't have and even with limited minutes you've decided to go "all in" for this season, or b) someone is leaving, so get him going ASAP c) someone is threatening to leave, so show that person the team will go on without him should he decide to walk.

I am sorry i made a mistake. Meant to say Instagram not twitter. (i edited my original post)
Once again all SJU players have instagram but no one is making posts. Sheed does it daily. Rules are rules and it looks like he just does not

listen/followhttp://instagram.com/____sheed

He will accept you within hours and i doubt you will be delighted with his rap song and the words in it.

He's been doing this since before the suspension. And after that suspension and before this absence.

:) Leave the kid alone and let the coaching staff worry about that stuff.

Beast, these are all wild assumptions at best but one thing is certain, no player or coach should ever use the illness of a parent as an excuse for leaving one's team mates unless it were true. If Lavin were found to be complicit in such a scenario it would only diminish his credibility as a coach and as a spokesman for the team.
I am going to assume he is giving the kid time with his family to get the house in order and his instagrams and choice of rap songs is the least of my concerns since I have suffered through many while with my nephews.
Some of us do not get to appreciate Sinatra, Jazz, or Nat King Cole until we are way past 40.
 
I have nothing against the kid or his choices of songs. But he's representing SJU. To have a 15sec clip showing someone smoking weed and Sheed dropping the N word 5 times is not too smart in my book.

Not the way I would be spending my time taking care of my sick mother.

You stated your case. Let it go already.
