SJU Offseason Thread (portal and recruiting discussions)

Hopkins is an awesome get. He worked out with Rick on the visit. No reason to not trust his health or anything else.

Sanon-Hopkins-Zuby is a huge start to the portal. A lot of $$ budgeted for a PG it sounds like.

Yup on PG $

Hah! I’ve been a Sju diehard for 40 years. To say I suffer from PTSD is an understatement. I’m not impugning his credibility. I’ve just learned not to get too excited until it’s official. That said, this seems very promising.

Very fair

RMPTSD now in Psychiatric Diagnostic Standards Manual

Hopkins takes the sting away from Luis a little.

Would be the best big 3 in the conference and we still don’t know who else we’re getting.

Assume the locked up refers to Bryce?

He really enjoyed the Spicy Rigatoni!

I expect Zuby to be a little bit better of a shooter next year but it's still unlikely he even becomes a one 3 a game guy. Hopkins also has been less than a one 3 a game guy his whole career. With the rest of the roster being built around them I can't see how the staff pursues a PG that isn't a floor spacing threat.

For example, Silas is at 37% 3pt on 5 attempts, Bruce at 42% 3pt on 4 attempts.

A slab

Slab from a razorback hog would be nice

Hopkins would be a great get two years ago he was up for big East player of the year as long as he is healthy he is a big time player!

Oops

Haven't seen much of Sanon but excited with the steps being made to start the portal season.

One of best elements of this season is we had a group of guys it was easy to root for – no pimadonnas, no bad actors, no look-at-me guys. Just a good, gritty team. I'm hopeful we'll see more of the same with our new lineup.

Chatter is early this week SJU announcement on Hopkins fwiw.

 

[Moose]

I recall he
projected somebody as locked up for us last year and was dead wrong. I’ll celebrate when it’s official.

OMG
Someone was wrong?
The best baseball players fail 7 out of 10 times.

 

[Notanalum]

Y2 is pretty close to automatic. He had one miss last year I believe (don’t remember who) but he’s a trusted source IMO

Our zoom program is on injury list.

Just remember the Final Four Dead Period starts later this week, April 3 to 10.

Zooms are OK but no on or off campus visits/

We should wrap up Hopkins today and then things will ramp up considerably after the Final Four.
