SJU Portal Targets

Definitely more of an off the dribble guy than Scott. Similar build. Not the defender Scott is but a good athlete. This was his best year just happened to be in his most limited role. Still played 23 minutes and started 31 games in the Big18.

18 points and 9 rebs per 40 minutes.
For reference Scott was 12 and 6. Though it wasn’t his numbers that made his as valuable as he was.
He just didn’t play a lot because of better players ahead?

Depth yeah but 23 isn’t ‘not a lot’ IMO. See the other big man transfer Paultz posted from Illinois. He was super talented and productive getting less than 20 minutes.
 
Worth keeping an eye on perhaps, rebounds well & defends. A small version of Scott imo.
Solid player but not too much of a shooter. Decent percentage on low volume - 23 made 3s in 31 games, 12 of those made 3s in his last 7 games. Good slasher that gets to the line a ton and made over 80% when there. Will pitch in on the defensive glass. Solid piece, especially if he would be a ~20-22 min per game guy
 
He plays for Illini
Yes - I meant the two games Maryland beat them.

Hopkins certainly does some things better than Scott and Luis, but guarding on the perimeter is definitely not one of them. Interested to see how our defensive approach will change if we are lucky enough to have Hopkins as our starting 4.
My concern as well. Very coordinated and balanced kid, so he won’t be too out of place switching on guards. But that means we are 6’8 and 6’6 at the 4 and 5 and not a lot of length.

We will need some length and switchability the bench.

Damn I never looked at Hopkins as 6’6 I thought he was taller than that. I do think he’s more of a “4” than Scott or Luis were.

Zach today said Hopkins, 2 guards and a wing. Id expect more than that, but if not then you’d have to imagine all our front court pieces are returning.

2 games, 0 assists. Not the PG we're looking for, I would think.
 
Yea but that big was a freshman. White upperclassmen on 3rd school. But all good.
For the better part of three decades of mediocre basketball, we either were not involved with the best players or else
were almost “begging” them to consider us. Now we are a destination and it seems at times have the luxury of choosing between several positive options.
Great coach. Great $ backing. Great direction we’re at and headed to.
How refreshing for we long standing & loyal fans 🏀.
Thanks to our players here and headed to Queens and to the Most Famous Arena!

Curtis Johnson was more of an off the dribble guy than Scott.
 
We ALL know that the Law School has the best food. Sneaky good. Does Coach ever eat on campus? He probably takes the recruits to a steakhouse near MSG.
last year on the Ledlum visit one of the members here I forget who actually snapped a pic of them from inside a steakhouse eating. I want to say Del Frisco's but I'm not positive. But you cant hide from the redfan camera lens. Us demented bastards are everywhere

And Ledlum turned us down, but later changed his mind. I think it was Dave who wore a Bobby Valentine fake mustache & nose.
