I just want to use this thread to discuss the Jellyfam movement and it's impact on SJU and future recruits. In case you guys were wondering, what the Jellyfam movement is, and who's in it. I'll try to explain.

1) What's the Jellyfam movement?

- The Jellyfam movement was created by four star recruit Isaiah Washington ( Minnesota commit), and it's a group of elite NYC/ NJ prospects who are close friends and usually play on the same AAU circuit. Here's a article about them

2) How did Jellyfam come up with their name?

-The "Jelly " part of the name comes from the slang term Jelly's ( which is getting a fingeroll on a player), when somebody gets fingerolled on, the crowds usually shout jelly's on the unfortunate suspect.

- The Fam is obvious ( family)

3) How do you join Jellyfam?

- It's a two -step process. The invite, and the acceptance .

A) The invite requires the person to commit three finger-rolls on a player during a game. A Jellyfam member must be in attendance to validate the process.

B) After the invite, you have to be considered an elite prospect to be accepted in.


4) So this begs the question. Who's in Jellyfam and how this helps SJU?

5) How does this help SJU?

- It seems a lot of the Jellyfam members like to play or ball with each other. So maybe we should start offering package deals for some of these recruits.

* Just wanted to bring these guys up.
 
based on the kids the who committed, it seems to have opposite effect as to same destinations.

I like jelly doughnuts.

And of the undecideds, we are not on Quinerly's, Anthony's, King's or Nowell's list, I would say there has been no benefit for St. John's.

While they might enjoy playing AAU ball with each other, none of the commiteds are going to the same college. If a package deal was all it took, we would not be the only ones offering it.
