College as a second language: With Chris Mullin spanning the globe for players, I wonder how many non-basketball players — aka, students — St. John’s recruits from around the world. Do you have to read, write, speak or even understand English to attend classes, or is all of that, including classes, optional?
Mussini and Alibegovic speak perfectly good English. Alibgovic was freaking born here and from all indications is a very good student. I haven't heard Sima speak, but he attends an American high school. What an ignorant thing to say without knowing anything about these kids personally.
And if that tool took the time to do any due diligence before writing that, he'd know that SJU has students from nearly all 50 states and almost 120 countries. It is a global university with campuses in Italy and France.
