SJU Portal Targets

[Mullins Revenge]

Talk about Pitino fit... Happy we reached out. Hopefully becomes more than that.

I will save you the suspense. He is not coming here.

We’ll get some quality players for sure

I'm sure they look at analytics as part of the overall scouting and evaluation tool for kids they don't have experience with. Nate Oates was pretty open about Bama's use of an analytics firm to help with their portal decisions -- e.g., Estrada profiled for them and their system better than many other comparable guards, he said.

Alabama with Oates totally makes sense to me. It’s actually the first I’ve heard about them using analytics but if anyone would be doing it, I would have guessed them first.

They took a bunch of offense only guys and made it work.

Such a bag of laughs.

There are definitely some posters who should just go away until summertime. They aren't built for portal season.

We need to be more like Kent Dorfman “Thank you sir, may I have another”.

If I’m remembering this correctly, UConn uses the same analytics firm that was recommended to them from Bama staff as well

Even if not, whatever UConn uses worked wonders for them.

Didn't realize what a brilliant basketball mind Luke Murray had until reading that recent article.

What exactly are you basing this on? Zach said he’s a major target of ours. I’ve been as pessimistic as anyone around here lately, but let’s see what happens with him first before pouring cold water.

Know Luke Murray and can personally attest to his coaching ability. Looking forward to see him run a program on his own one day

Maybe our next coach?

After reading about him, I'd be on board with that program being ours.

I'm interviewing him and Speedy in a few years for sure if I'm the good Father and Ed Kull.

Was not it actually. I want to say it may have been on CBS Sports but I don't see a search function there.

What i've heard here... kid had a number in mind wanted to stay Utah didn't offer it...entered portal with number in mind and multiple schools have already exceeded his ask. This is NOT a kid bag chasing...i've heard SJ is right there..with Sheppard gone Pope really wants him...obviously with this many good schools invl who knows but SJ will put a strong offer and push here. As in my first post...this is the kid.

Let’s hope Kentucky is involved with some other good guards.
