"We had visited St. John's several times and it looked like Bobby might go there. He liked their program and he knew a lot of the kids who were playing there. And Chris (mom) loved Lou Carnesecca and his assistant, Brian Mahoney. She would have been happy to have Bobby play for them."
"Lou Carnesecca came to our summer league many times and pushed very hard for Bobby. But as much as Chris (mom) liked Lou, she couldn't resolve in her mind the fact that at St. John's, he wasn't going to be staying on campus."
From "Divided Loyalties: The Diary of a Basketball Father" by Bob Hurley Sr. and Phil Pepe, 1993.
What could've been with Hurley, Sealy, Werdann, Buchanan etc.
