Staff Addition

[dk423]

Think the Nova model with that they did with Baker Dunleavy

That's exactly what I was hoping for. Makes too much sense to have something like that in place. Really expands our potential.

If it is who we're talking about, Matt A. really does have the best of both worlds: recruiting experience and agency experience. I don't mean to imply he's a bad guy but clearly there were issues with his firs run here. However, with CRP, I'm confident any of those things will be complete non-factors.

Shanley and Cragg deserve credit for doing the follow-up work after the CRP hire, proving we are truly going "all-in". Can't believe I'm not dreaming.

who was heavily involved with wilcher and dingle?

 

[kranmars]

If the person who shall not be named, is at some point named, it caps off a transformation of the basketball program that is almost impossible to fathom.

Imagine if someone told you a year ago that SJU basketball would become a major player from top to bottom. No one would have believed it.

 

[kranmars]

Further proof of Pitino genius identifying every angle to make St. John’s better I think he even thinks this stuff in his sleeep

Pitino only sleeps to make his dreams come true.

 

[mjmaherjr]

On the Wilcher thread I had written a connect the dots. Matt recruited his brother to Nebraska

 

[mjmaherjr]

Imagine Pitino with a Rolodex of recruit contacts and other NIL broker contacts and with his ability to identify guys he wants ?

That would be the definition of “shooting fish in a barrel”.

 

[RedStormNC]

Ed Kull ??

 

[Amaseinyourface]

Now we need Drew Metz in an admin role to complete the trifecta of three previous staff connections.

 

[Mean Gene]

Would be the perfect addition

Who???

 

[paultzman]

This was an easy one Imo reading Sammy’s tweet, yeah Matt was knee deep with two recruits noted and NIL makes his agent status valuable as well as recruiting experience. Probably finalized after Draft seems reasonable assumption. GM title will qualify him for Met job soon

 

[Sherman Sheridan & Grant]

Shooting or at least catching the damn fish!
As I’ve often posted:
This is a great time to be a St. John’s fan yep -
THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BE
A JOHNNIES FAN
Could we have had a better two months?
Nope
One of the all time college basketball leaps!

 

[WalterMatthau]

Who???

Matt A

 

[dk423]

This may be a stupid question but what is he legally able to do vs. not do? Guessing nothing to do with practices, showing up at evaluation periods, etc., but are they able to act as a legal liaison between the collectives, university, and player? Is it more a supportive role of the collectives?

Some teams will utilize a GM hybrid role for NIL and some recruiting related activities as I understand it.

 

[SJU85]

I just finished my lunch and the first thing I see on Red.fans is jarvii?????? Thanks MainMan.

I am guessing that either the lunch didn’t stay down or you got some serious indigestion/heartburn.

 

[espken]

Does this mean Fred Hoiberg will be our next HC when Pitino retires.

 

[austour]

MA better understand that RP is not some laid back dude like Hoiberg or Mullin. Standards and expectations will be much higher. If he can acclimate then it would appear to be a good hire.

 

[IDRAFT]

Sounds like good news for Braziller.

 

[SJU14]

Interesting how much heat Matt A took when he left when it was obviously the right move for him
