SJU Portal Targets

You like a UConn fan praising Hurley as all Godly on a st. John's forum? To each their own then.
Why are you paying any attention to it let alone using a thread about something else to talk about it? You could go to the U Conn Makes Us Hurl thread if you want to spend your time taking the bait and wasting your time on it. At least until the clock runs out on trolling
 
And not just any 2 lottery picks - Harper and Bailey are supposed to be picks #2 and #3 in the NBA draft
Works the other way too.. Duke is going to have 3 first round picks and they did real well.

The great thing about the NIL (besides it’s going to eventually kill of the ncaa) is that players like RJ, Kadary, Clayton, Timme (couple years ago), most of Houston’s team. Players who are fringe NBA types can earn real money and stay 4 years in college. If the NIL was around early we would have gotten more years from Sampson, Champagie, Erick Barkley and Omar Cook (Harkless would have rightful jumper at the first round pick - please forgive me if I’m forgetting some Johnnies in the NBA or overseas) and that would have been a benefit to college basketball and us fans.

It’s interesting to see who is going for the One and Down route with NBA talent (Duke and UConn with their multiple 5 star freshman) and who is going with the Experienced players to fit pieces that left (Us Creighton UK UM). Lots of ways to win now, provided you have 5 -7M to spend.
 
We signed Smith and Kadary in May
Sure but Repole was telling everyone at the track that we had that kid from Seton Hall during the derby preps 😉. I’m kidding I don’t remember what race it was.

The truth is there are probably names we might like that aren’t in the portal yet. We are a top 15 NIL team, we will have no problem filling the roster. Who knows it may get to the point that we have so many coming in, others re-think staying. Such is the nature of the off-season.

It’s the only reason in still have a Twitter account. Love the drama.

SJU Portal Targets

Sorry Knight, one more off topic post… although I do love the drama of seeing why people picked the school of choice. I remind myself it could be any number of things. I’m sure 90% of people on this board accept a job that paid less because of other factors. Sometimes those factors are totally out of everyone’s control, which leads me to my off topic question,

Who was the recruit on campus when there was an active gunman… ended up going to UVA? I remember betting a coworker (UVA alum) lunch that he’d go to St. John’s. The active shooter didn’t help my cause.
 
Commitment announcements seldom occur during the visits. The players and program get more attention waiting a few days and often space them. I sense we will see a few this week.

Pitino & staff are doing a great job w portal recruiting and I will enjoy each announcement. The elusive PG search will remain a topic of conversation for a while, but Rick will land a competent one.

Syl Landesberg i think.
 
Has there been any indication that guys on our current roster could jump into the portal once we announce other signings? Or are we to expect everyone who remains here to be locked in for next year?
