SJU Portal Targets

[Ralph318!]

Rick Pitino vs Hubert Davis should be an easy call.

and I don’t even think that’s the bias talkin

If it is StJ v. NC then we can’t lose. Wouldn’t Ian Jackson portal if Lee went to NC?
Then who would you rather have? If we could get Jackson.
Hmmmmm.

Jackson is not a PG

 

[Ralph318!]

Jackson is not a PG

He’s a 6’4” shooting guard. I get it. But he can handle, and play the point. Especially if he wants the NBA.

No one wants to risk him at the point imo.

Before this season, did you consider Kadary as a PG? Look, I know it’s all complete speculation It’s just interesting, and with Coach we will have excellent options.

 

[Moose]

Can Lee even get NIL. He’s not American and I thought all foreigners had NIL restrictions.

 

[austour]

Think you’re way too young to get my reference unless you’re a 50’s rock n roll fan.

I think you have the wrong 'em boyo.

Johni Broome played in the Ohio Valley Conference at Morehead State and was arguably the best player in college basketball this year. Just because Dingle “struggled” here doesn’t mean Lee would too. Look at the player, not the conference.

Could be wrong- by feel the OVC is a couple notches above the Ivy in terms of athleticism and comp… also I feel Big Men translate easier than guards.

Last two Ivy guards of note that I remember that transferred up - Dingle (here) and Wojcik (Brown->UNC)… he went from 15/7/4 to 1.5/1/0 lol…

Given Lee has combine footage , which seems to indicate he can compete… I’m not too worried… but def not a lock to translate

Princeton only averaged 2,500 fans with him this year in an arena that seats almost 7,000 fans.

Princeton nation leans a bit more to academia than sports than does St. John’s nation.

 

[kranmars]

Sanon and Sellers would be two nasty shooting guard/wings.

Keep repeating “Sanon and Sellers” over and over quickly, and it comes out sounding “salmonella’s”.

Hey, I am on a roll now.

Umm. Kadary was always a PG. Every stop. Just because he has forward height don't let that fool you.

Much, much more than Jackson

Smooth as…

I watched most UNC games. Nothing about his game screamed PG.

 

[Marillac2]

That’s not Manhattan. Sorry. Not a fair comparison. What’s the Asian population in Princeton?
St. John’s has always been prominent in the Asian community.

True, but if you think this kid would sell out the garden, why won’t any of these people travel an hour to Princeton to watch him or when he played @Columbia?

I think you are overstating his potential impact. I’d expect a small bump in attendance.

 

[Boo Harvey]

Again, I’ve never seen Lee play at all.
1. I trust the assessment of Coach. The other assessments also have value.
2. It’s a match made in Economic/NIL heaven.
Why? The Asian Community will come out, if Lee shows out, even a little bit.
For example the Iona game would sell out as a singleton.
The replica jersey sales along with TShirts, hats, etc will be extraordinary. Lee is made for NYC and us for those reasons alone. He won’t have those financial opportunities in Gainesville.
If he can play, Coach will want him and close the deal. If he can play, he will be the next spokesperson for No Bull. And that’s no bull.

Playing in nyc is great and we have certainly captured the town. But the idea that this kid is going to have some sort of Jeremy Lin effect if he comes strikes me as fanciful.

yes

 

[JohnnyFan]

Sellers' game appears a lot like Wilcher's game, with Sellers being more assertive. Should push Sim and I think the better defender plays more.

 

[dk423]

Was one 3/d target

 

[redfan253fff]

Point guard requires a lot more than being able to handle the ball.

He’s a 6’4” shooting guard. I get it. But he can handle, and play the point. Especially if he wants the NBA.
