SJU Offseason Thread (portal and recruiting discussions)

[Section3]

Yeah I am at a lost with them, either Sha is playing 3-D chess and knows something we all don't or yikes...

I mean they just lost Scotty Middleton to Tulane and Dual to McNeese. So it could mean 3 things right:

1)Sha made it clear he was recruiting over them and they should probably go elsewhere
2)He wanted them back but they didn't want to be back with that program or
3)Their was mutual interest but the NIL was better at McNeese and Tulane.

If no. 1, fine. But the results so far are not good.

2 & 3 suggest something much worse...

I feel badly for them…I witnessed our game in person at the Pru this year. They had a low mid major roster and it appears this year it will simply be a roster.

mjmaherjr is taking Lawman’s # dividing it by 6. So is he’s at 24 mjmaherjr is at 4

It's the new Math.

There was word on the discord a couple weeks ago that some guys were steering clear of the Hall due to concerns over if they would actually get paid. Haven't heard many details about it since but that type of thing has been out there and probably why they only have 5 dudes, none of them particularly good.

Their fans also seem worried that Budd might end up decommitting which would be objectively hilarious at this point.

Billy?

My friend who roots for them says there is a rumor they have a "high level" commit forthcoming.

Yes, the CEO of Kraymerica.

Does anyone know how much $$$ we have left to spend? And would that be enough to sign Haggerty or dont we have a chance ?

 

[mjmaherjr]

Fland's a guy you can wait on too if you planned this out. Sign a combo who will get minutes at the 2 and maybe some 1 and then when Boogie comes back you welcome him with open arms.

 

[Eddiec]

Still have 2 open spots, hoping for more Pitino magic

 

[Joedib]

Definitely not.
Lot of talent trying to prove themselves. No chemistry or track record of success. Yet.
We'll get a lot of buzz. Zuby in particular should be on a lot of preseason lists. Both BE and nationally.

But we will not be ranked #1. Or even top 5.
And that's OK!

Some polls already have us in top 5.

As previously noted, this guy has proven to be credible (albeit in a small sample size)…

Any guesses on the guard, assuming this is accurate? That kid from St Mary’s an option?

You are making a happy face over SJU bringing in a backup PG from a mid-major?

In the age of NIL & transfers and a revived SJU..a Jackson/Boogie year 2 would be as big or bigger that Felipe & Zendon

In the age of NIL & transfers and a revived SJU..a Jackson/Boogie year 2 would be as big or bigger that Felipe & Zendon

And would hopefully bring way more success.
