Paultz, let's say we get Kriisa and Scott, do you think the three spots remaining are for one big man and two big fish type talents?

Cliff seems only game changer (D & rebounding) I have heard of so far and that will not be easy. Of course staff may have something up their sleeve.

The whole Hopkins stuff floated by someone from SJ seems folly like the Ian Jackson hints. I still think they will do fine in portal, but idea with adequate NIL and Pitino we would kill it seems a reach. Obviously I would love to be wrong, but not letting expectations get ahead of me. Land Cliff and perhaps then we’ll get some momentum

Reverse psychology. I like it.
 
Trilly, re: Dillon Mitchell and STJ.

(Texas fan): @Trilly Donovan How much smoke is there to Dillon Mitchell and St. John’s?

Trilly: Need to make sure he gets in first. They were just able to convince Shedrick to come back.

Also, "Mitchell was told recently is still more likely than not to enter."

I guess the previous convo a few weeks ago about him wasn't off topic after all. lol.
 
Omoruyi and Mitchell make me feel a lot better about Kriisa.

Now we just need to get Omoruyi and Mitchell 😁

I would love to know what these other schools are offering Cliff though. Because we have a good amount of money and I can't imagine Kriisa and Scott are budget breakers. Just make Cliff a (slightly) tastier offer and get this shit done already.

Not sure if the staff is even talking to any secret studs right now, but I don't think Kriisa is what would help lure them here if he's the first name to pop.

I'd obviously take this with a huge grain of salt. I only like to share stuff with the discord (especially non-Trilly stuff) to compare notes with actual insiders here, not spreading it because I think it's totally legit.

But a UNC fan who lives in NYC/has connections with the program said this about Cliff. He could be legit because he had already said Reynauld is returning last week and had our NIL in the right ballpark (3-3.5 mill)

"He wants St Johns cause it's local. They are offering 800K. Baylor is offering a million. As well as a few other teams. 700K won't get it done unfortunately [for him to go to UNC]. We'll see his visit list soon hopefully"

A figure thrown around (with no verification obviously) from SJ for Cliff was about 800k, not sure how much more these other teams are offering, but suspect it could be a lot more relatively speaking.

Hopefully when he finally gets here for a visit he's blown away and exhausted from the workout Pitino puts him through, and that's when Mas rolls up with his "Can you imagine how much better you'll get doing this every day?" pre-closure pitch.
 
Last info I'll share from the discord tonight since I feel guilty giving out all this info. You should really subscribe, the STJ fan thread is growing and it's a fun community where you can peak into other team perspectives as well as get loads of info.

re: Aaron Scott

Trilly has Scott pegged as an immediate target by Pope & Kentucky.

A couple of weeks ago, he pegged Memphis & Texas Tech as early favorites. He's visiting Memphis this weekend. One odd thing is that people at Tech seem to think that ship has sailed, but Trilly is also saying that the North Texas head coach, Ross Hodge, is considering joining their coaching staff.

So again, WHO KNOWS. I'd love to just get a commit. lol.

I’m on the discord and I can’t find most of these posts by Trilly. What’s an easy way to find them?
