Not looking good right now, but it's way too early to call it. We don't even know who the coach will be yet, if CO will return after Harrison talk, if Jordan will return, who Lavin/replacement signs with remaining openings, what committed recruits make it to campus, if ADR will be eligible, if any graduate transfers will be signed to play right away, and how Amar and other freshmen develop.

While all you say is true Moose the reverse of what you say is-
Obekpa suspension ends in one week.
Rysheed could have been saying "thank you " to everyone and this is not end but there is more to accomplish...... at St. John's. Apologies to Jack's forensic Instagram analysis.
Sampson could not technically sign an LOI.
The last guy was never coming any way. And if he considered SJU it was because of Lavin not in spite of him.
Of course God forbid we mention with the above possibilities some good shooting guards are coming on board to supplement the less than important losses of Phil Greene and Jamal Branch.
Doughty and Thompkins are 3* guards many here say should be the focus of Lavin instead of NBA one year guys. Chandler may commit upon visiting and he is a long 6'4 point guard needed to compliment Sampson. Adonis Delarosa will be a 6'11 mammoth that was missing this year.
Three other highly recruited foreigners are still in play. The possibilities are endless unless you want to continue to have tunnel vision as a St. John's fan.

Why not. This board is full of "experts." We have an Ivy League atty, an aspiring "journalist" who writes weekly columns and several recruiting "experts" who can evaluate talent without ever seeing a kid play.
I particularly appreciate the insights of our resident urologist who shared with us that lavin is suffering from low testosterone as a result of his surgery which has clearly impacted his recruiting mojo.

Slowly emerging from your short strange trip on the dark side of the moon?
You must have hugged that cute kid of yours.

And of course there is you.
Your insight into all things St. John's could be countless if not for the fact we cannot count ONE insightful comment since, like, forever.
As for trivializing coach's prostate cancer, and misunderstanding (common for you) the effects between no longer having a prostate and "drive" and enery in older adult men, let's just say I hope you do not get prostate cancer any time soon. What I said had ZERO to do with recruiting mojo! Before you make your bold assumptions have Jack Williams do some forensic research for you into Lavin's many references to the effects his cancer had on him, especially in regard to how his energy was zapped for many months after his surgery.
There are plenty of folks here that have, at least in their past, seen recruits play without the use of 30 second YouTube clips that may have played in the NY region. I think it was one of Moose's pastimes, if I recall. Until a few years ago I had been in more public high school gyms for games than most D1 recruiters. Unfortunately most decent D1 prospects go prep unless they cannot get a sponsor now.
I even followed women's basketball until the Big East was dissolved and the Kentucky of the women's game, Uconn, became a distant memory. What is left is an inferior product imo.
But being the sarcastic SOB that I am, I appreciate where you are coming from, even if it is from left field with the spot lights off.

You couldn't ever drive when you first started reading his posts.....yet somehow you are an expert in analyzing what they mean?

The biggest telltale of a weak argument is resort to ad hominem attacks. And your post, Doctor Class, is littered with them.
You made a number of suppositions about lavin's health condition and performance. I asked you the basis for those statements. You've responded to my request with an offer to pm me and a series of attacks.
You made the statements about lavins lack of testosterone hindering his performance the entire group so you should back it up to the entire group.
If you can't back it up, you should admit that and apologize because such statements are reckless, hurtful and, much like your accusation of my posts, not very insightful.

You've spent quite a bit of time reccently talking about Maven, Avon, Baldi, coach's health, and now you're mentioning someone's kid.
It may not have been with bad intentions, but just don't do it '72.

The post from Instagram has mysteriously been removed from IG just like those anti homosexual tweets by Jordan mysteriously disappeared from Twitter.
Maybe "Lav" still has the social media embargo still in place.
Maybe "Lav" still has the social media embargo still in place.
I wish "Lav" could impose an embargo on this social media!
First of all, I don't know what me being able to drive has to do with being able to analyze readings, they start you off doing that in 1st grade. It's not hard.
Second of all, I'm in no way analyzing what he means with the post. I have no knowledge whether he will be back or won't. All I'm saying is I've followed rysheed on twitter for a long time and have gotten used to the way he writes. He misspells certain words the same way, and I can tell that he wrote that post. And obviously he did. What friend would go on and start thanking teammates and coaches? No one.
Have to agree...however, will also add that these kids seek attention so much I wouldnt be surprised if he did it to play his decision up...who the heck knows...guess we will find out soon enough...
As Hyman Roth would say...if he returns for rest of semester, I'll know I have a partner...if not, I know I won't"
