I feel that because SJU has six days off before Marquette and four days off after Pitino would be better off playing everyone if they are healthy. Too much time is no good.
Seton Hall (MSG), Sat., Mar. 1, 2:15p, CBS
- Thread starter Knight
- Start date
After the game, I heard Wasu's name moved up on The Giants' draft board as first running back.
lololololol. Inside 114 joke on Wasu but omg it's almost like you are in our private text chat
No lock. Pitino will be recruiting a pg, two big guards- wings and a big forward. Sim will be in same spot with no guarantees if Pitino can recruit stars and with this years run and more nil Pitino will have his pick of stars
Sum 12 minutes. 2 pts. One turnover, bad defense, 3 fouls, ill advised shots, no assists or rebounds while Ayo plays 30 min. Yikes.
Want to bet?
Funny.
Interesting thing and I agree this year will be less players available but not for Pitino but let’s just say we have a player now X on roster vs player on another team Y. Will Pitino ( rightfully so because of his development skills ) pass on Y for X
No I don’t think so but Glover, Vince, and Brady may think it’s best for them to move on depending on who P recruits esp if he recruits a player with more than one year eligibility. Ayo , Prey and Lefty are back.
And X doesn’t equal Yo or Ayo 
I think most of us were wrong and Marillac was right on Marillayo. Although Happy gets credit too he just doesn’t post much but he liked Ayo a lot at Iona and when he committed here he told me “ Whote Chocolate I love him for Iona I’m not sure how it translates here but he’s a great kid “

Thx. Very sound reasoning. A few weeks ago I was kinda stunned when someone said Trilli thinks Brady will portal but it can go both ways. Staff likes him a lot but like you said maybe it’s who’s available

I don’t know
Sims an emotional kid. Wears his heart on his sleeve. He’s been getting beat a lot on defense and always seems to foul when trying to recover. Which sends him to the bench in foul trouble. He’s really struggling right now to get into the flow of the game.
But I’ll tell you one thing I see on Instagram at least. This may not mean much, but every single post about St. John’s basketball I see, Wilcher likes it. He is hyping up Ayo as well online. He’s proud of this team and these guys.
We will obviously see what happens this offseason. But I hope he comes back. I see the potential in him. Think he could have a great junior campaign. And not only that, I still believe he could get going and be a huge piece for us this March.
I agree completely. I hope he returns. I think Pitino will shape him into a star. But I hear he wants to test turnng pro this summer. If that is where his head is at, it does not bode well. There will also be teams promising him playing time. Pitino promises nothing. I hope he is mature enough to stay the course.
Pitino said in press conference one day off ruins optimum conditioning needed to play this teams style.
I might get a little emotional with this post, my Pops who graduated in 1970 and passed away in 94, he brought me to the 86 championship game at the garden which was sick! My 2 Sons got academic scholarships to my dad's college of choice and I was recruited by coach Ricca to play football their ( academics stopped that) full circle is an understatement, my oldest son TJ was there today to witness this glorious day! And anyone who knows me, knows I'm diehard fan and I'm crying as I write this!We are!

I said it while it was going on. He was having them with the constant screens and picks and it was screwing up our ability to fluidly switch on defense which is what we’ve become known for at this point. Smart.
Great win for the Team, Players and Coaches . 40 years is a long time to wait .
I was 39 years old in the Mullin , Berry, Jackson,etc era.
I’m 78 now . Where did the time go ?
Winning the Regulsr Season is a great accomplishment but , the season isn’t over and there is more to accomplish .
Winning the BET has to be a goal . And , then it’s on to the NCAA .
Who knows what happens there ?
A word about Wilcher . Many of us commented that Smith had a just awful 1st half and overall wasn’t his best game .
To me , not getting Sim in there to replace him was puzzling . We had several great games where Smith was out and Wilcher started with KR and RJ bringing the ball upcourt .
Wilcher is not a PG and expecting him to be is not happening . He’s a SG , even when he’s not hitting .
Pitino has a quick hook for him , right or wrong but. gives Smith a longer leash , even like yesterday when Smith should have sat for much of the 1st half .
I wouldn’t throw in the towel on Wilcher at all.
Raftery has been a big supporter and says Sim can be a great player . He loves him and has , all season .
We have 6 days before Marquette and then , another 4 days before we would play in the BET.
That should be enough to rest the aches , pains . Pulls , etc .
We don’t want to lose conditioning or repetition . Pitino wouldn’t let that happen anyway .
Beat Marquette !
