SJU Power Forward Portal Targets

I think it wise to not get too excited or disappointed in Prey filling final spot without seeing him in action. To me, after missing out on more mature, experienced guys like Omier and Watkins, this is the best staff could do.

Prey imo could help shore up our thin interior and has some skills and experience playing against older players/some pros. If he can give us modest minutes and numbers, I feel better about our inside play. If he comes back another year, always an unknown, I like it even better.

From clips I saw I liked. But again I could put together a hi light clip of my college career where I look like Craig Biggio.

If you have Zuby at 12 and are like everyone else on here who thinks we should play 12 guys and Dunlap is going to be really good then I would love to see your ppg projection because I figure you would have us averaging around 140.

If Zuby does 7 and 7 it would be huge.

I have think out of the Zuby, Vince, Prey threesome, there’s a good chance that one them gives us some real upside surprise. If that happens the other two just need to be serviceable Big East caliber bigs. Which I think can happen. We’ll see.

6 and 8 or 8 and 6 vs 7 and 7 is kind of the same thing. If he goes north of that in points then it will be because (a) his offensive game has improved, which is possible; and (b) Richmond and Smith find him for looks at the basket because opposing defenses would rather give up 2s than 3s, which is also possible.

I hadn't thought about PPG projections but I'll take a whack at it:

Richmond 15 PPG
Luis 14 PPG
Smith 12 PPG
Scott 10 PPG
Ejofor 8 PPG
Wilcher 8 PPG
Dunlap 8 PPG
Iwuchukwu 4 PPG

That's 79 PPG, plus whatever is added by Liotopoulos and Glover. Figure the team will be in the low 80s in PPG somewhere.

If Zuby's PPG rises, or the group of Zuby/Iwuchukwu/(hypothetically) Prey goes north of 12 PPG to something like 16 PPG, then most of that would probably come out of perimeter shooters since it would mean we are more effective inside than out, or at least playing that way.

Not terrible
I have around 7 for Scott and Wilcher and around 3 for Dunlap
7 for Glover who I think supplants Dunlap in rotation at some point
6 or 7 for Prey

So other than your hatred of Brady Dunlap and hope that Glover as a freshman will be better than him as a sophomore, we agree. :cool:

You are mistaken. He suffered a torn meniscus around Christmas time that was kept quiet.

My mistake, referencing an ankle injury rather than the meniscus. I couldn't recall the exact injury referenced and not tech smart enough to go back and find the post.

Wasn’t saying you were mistaken on type of injury but that you were denying there was any disclosure of an injury at all.

Check your post I did

Here's my post:
RMW, someone posted that Soriano hurt his ankle (I believe it was ankle) and was considering sitting out but was convinced to play with it. I have no idea whether this is true or not as I never saw any follow up posts but believe that is what SD was referencing. Regardless, he did play better towards the end of the year and rebounded well even when he wasn't scoring.

My point was I never saw anything beyond the original post and certainly never saw anything about the injury in the media. Wasn't speculating beyond that, was simply responding to RMW's post about Joel's second half of the season lackluster play.

Did not know how I got tied up with you it was redmanwest who actually said what I thought you had said so i apologize to you. Bottom line it’s not that important as everyone can believe what they want.

Wanna take a whack at rebounds, assists and blocks?

Don't think I said that at all bamafan.

I said I did not recall but acknowledged that I could have been wrong. So, if in fact that was disclosed, then that's fine. But, as I said, I think that (the disclosure) could be some revisionist history.
 
Portuguese forward Ruben Prey committed to the Red Storm on Tuesday night, as CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein first reported, further solidifying a St. John's frontcourt rotation that already boasts Zuby Ejiofor, USC transfer Vince Iwuchukwu, and top-150 freshman Khaman Maker.

While I hope that Prey is used as more of a “4”, it should be a dog fight at both the 4 and 5 position and hopefully a great interior defender (or two) arises from the group.

It should be really interesting. We have a lot of good players at guard and wing to have too many lineups with two of those guys in it especially given the need for outside shooting.
