The Posts that exited the Portal thread

I was thinking a Team of Zuby , Luis , Wilcher , Hopkins , Jackson might be better than what’s going to be on the floor in November .

With Glover , Lefty , Prey , Ayo , Vince and a back up PG yet to be identified .

But , that ship sailed .

So , now will have Zuby and the 4 Strangers .,

Lots of worrying on this board. Rembrandt is still painting. I’m not worried.
 
He visited and they worked him out but isn’t he more of a combo guard than true PG, hence why UConn picked up Smith? But yes, we could have done the same, get him and a true PG behind him like UConn did. I like Silas and he was a highly rated player in the portal. Seems like opportunity missed.
St. John's has a history of "missed opportunities".
The first of many was Lew Alcindor. If it wasn't for his visit to Papa Sam Gilbert's Bel Aire mansion and the understanding that his "NIL" value could not be matched by mom and pop SJU, he wouldn't be Kareem Abdul Jabbar, SJ would have likely won a few national championships under a still young 65 year old Joe Lapchick.😉

Lew Alcindor was never going to St. John's and always going out west. Told to me by Coach Carnesecca himself.

I don't care what Lou said.....if there was no Sam Gilbert, and SJ didn't force Joe to retire, I think the Alcindor family would have preferred their very young teenager play in NYC. Perhaps it was Lou's way of splaining that Lew was never going to play for Lou 😉
The old coach holds the record for the lost opportunities with too many to mention....maybe except for Gary Payton😎
