SJU Portal Targets

[Larry Wright]

I don’t think I have ever commented on a recruit as to whether or not we should get as I always thought the process was crazy even before it went insane with free transfers and NIL.

If get Prior def making the tournament. Final piece and should pull out all stops to get.

As DeNiro said to Pacino in Heat, “There’s a flip side to that coin.”

Poor Seton Hall

Yes, I feel sorry for the Hall, but not so much for Duke.
Lol.
I do doubt they'll miss these departures for long with the loaded class they have coming in, but it's comforting to know that they, too, can get tossed around a bit in this Nil-$ insanity for once.

Pitino should bring him to a Knicks playoff game to let him see the Garden when it’s ROCKIN!!! Screw the Razorbacks.

Except looks like Knicks season just ended

IMHO, I don't think that Rick is dangling NIL $$$ in front of his potential portal recruits. He's a HOF coach. He's explaining to them that they will make MILLIONS more if they come to his program and let him help them develop and refine the skills that they need to become NBA players. He has an excellent track record, in that respect. The intelligent players are forgoing the measly couple of hundred thousand dollars that the NIL will get them in order to let him help them gain the big dollars in the NBA. This is the best strategy to defeat the NIL.

Again, IMHO.

That would make sense except for the fact that the handlers won’t make money in the long term and will look to cash in now. They will direct him to the highest bidder.

Someone check Larry’s recipes thats a bold statement

Since I have never watched USF I saw this video. Seems like he has some skills.

Excellent post, and I agree.

This definitely applies to those players who have NBA potential.
The others are chasing the $$$'s for instant gratification.

I hope Pryor is like the kid in the marshmallow test who rejects the marshmallow now for more later.

I took the test last week but I won't tell you how I did.
Lol.

Just poured myself a bowl of Lucky Charms and will be administering the marshmallow test in mere moments. Blue diamonds, yellow moon, pink hearts…. Ready to ace this

This is kid is damn good

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

I'm sure is watching the nba playoffs.

He's hears MSG ROCKING.

Your choice kid, do you want that when you're on the hard wood at msg?

Your decision.

More like Vitamin Water vs Chicken Nuggets

There is hope. Appropriate punishment is to dock $12 million dollars from Arkansas NIL (which probably comes out to about half a season’s basketball pool).

That's just silly. There have been thousands of players in the NBA since Pitino started coaching. I'll wager that the percentage who have played for Pitino is substantially less than .001%. There are great coaches besides Pitino and players who make the NBA without his guidance. These guys want to maximize earnings, as they should and if they are good enough they will make the NBA with or without Pitino's coaching!

Don't know the kid but word is either Ark or StJ...couple big time schools making push but ppl close think he's down to 2

We’re already comfortably in the tournament barring some wild lack of chemistry or rash of injuries.

If we get Pryor that tells me that kid isn’t scared of anyone.

As I said twice in my post, it is my opinion as to the strategy Rick is using to sign players. Some will listen and some will move on. It's just me surmising regarding his tactics in order to negate the ridiculous NIL $$$ out there.

There's no need to attempt to belittle others posts because you have a differing opinion. You can just post your opinion. That's the problem with all social media and some on this board these days. Everyone is looking to attack someone because they have a different opinion and they think that their opinion is superior to another. Just chill, bro.

This is exactly why I don't post as often as I would like here and abstain from all other social media. Social media really is the Bain of our society as too many participants use the forums to prove their superiority by bashing others.

There was no need to use the sentence "That's just silly" in order to negate my post. Reread your post without that line and you look like a better person.

Again, I said twice that it was my OPINION that this is Rick's strategy.

Peace.

(Can I get kudos from Kranmars on paragraphs?)

The easy fix here is Greg has to bake Money a $ cake.

Wish had an hundie every time I have heard that last 25 years, although haven’t heard that since last year.
