Scholarship Situation

@NYPost_Brazille: "If #sjubb lands Mailk Ellison as expected, would up scholarship total to 11. Plan is to fill remaining two this year, I'm told. Possibilities to fill remaining schollies: Mussini, Lovett, Eli Carter, Papigiannis and perhaps a transfer".

Eli Carter? I thought that ship had sailed.

Edit: Brain fart. Was thinking Tracy Carter.

I'm fine with Mussini, LoVett, Papagiannis, and perhaps a transfer scenario.

that works for me. Maybe a transfer who has to sit year

Hello Terry

Who is Terry?

If they do wind up with a full allotment of 13 for 15/16, at least three (Obekpa, Johnson and Mvouka) would come off the books and possibly Jordan (if he has the year he and we hope he has) as well for 16/17 which is nice because next year's class is also a good one.

Larrier.

And at this point Balamou is a senior next year too. Not sure the staff will be pushing him to get his redshirt from two years ago back unless he grad transfers.

Rumble in the Garden - Updated St. John's Men's Hoops Scholarship Chart: May 1, 2015

"We don't really know how good they all will be, but we know one thing - this team, unlike some of the Red Storm teams in the past, will be tall. Each of the nine available scholarship players are 6'4" or taller."

Thanks Austour. I keep forgetting about Felix.

Seems like they will be comfortable to roll the dice with Ellison getting backup PG minutes, which means they can wait as long as they need to for LoVett and Mussini. Papagiannis would be nice in that the staff isn't scrambling for a big man who can score for 2016-17.

I guess if Yakwe and Larrier wanted to come redshirt, the staff would have a decision to make on Christian Jones.

Didn't they announce that Yakwe was not reclassifying?

Sorry, if they did I missed it. Jones is safe then. :lol:

Make a decision? It's simple, good bye.

Very tactful. How about, we hear there are a lot of other schools interested in you. You may want to join the ever burgeoning transfer game.
