SJU Power Forward Portal Targets

The answer is nobody knows. People can assume based on what they hear from certain people. But the only ones that know for sure are Pitino and his staff. We know they don’t leak much if anything outside of one

Can Zuby play some 4 and do we have the option of bringing in a "project" 5 to go with our two seven foot centers?

It's interesting that on this board, the consensus seems to be that St John's doesn't have as much money for players as its competitors, but on the Transfer Portal podcasts I've watched, they always say that St. John's has more money to spend on players than other schools. I wonder what information, if any, these different realities are based on.

We have more money than most schools actually, but we're still not in a position to throw around million-dollar deals to three or more kids like Louisville, Kentucky, Baylor, etc.

The biggest problem I see is that unlike big Southern schools, the money leaves with Pitino. We need to win big enough with him before he rides off into the sunset so that another name coach wants the job and keeps donors excited.

if this year falls below donor expectations, it will be hard for those who stepped up big time $ wise to do the same next year or duration of Pitino tenure.

Zuby is insurance for teams with old school PFs.

Scott or Luis between either center we have and Watkins would not be a small lineup with Kadary on the court somewhere.

I worry a lot about last paragraph too. Once he retires I’m afraid of what may happen…which is why we begged for him yrs earlier. We cannot compete without major donations and a HOF caliber coach.

Just not so, the former is light years more important than the second, just the way it is. Plenty of good teams out there and the vast majority don’t have a HOF coach.
