I am no longer “guardedly optimistic” and now confident on SJ/Jones based on what I just heard. May have to wait a few days.
We Are... er Larry Wrightadamus predicted it first
Knew that 100% guy was due
YesSo the rule about transferring from one BE school to another School in the BE Conference is no longer in play?
Oh we’re plenty aware of how crappy it feels to be a sju fan lolI personally would feel a bit uncomfortable about it. I'm sure I'd get over it. But I know how crappy we'd all feel if this happened to our program.
Been wrong before, but still very much like our chancesVery much hope you are right Paultz. Somehow I can't help but think of the St. John's fan mantra here - hope for the best but....

I don’t understand the trepidation with wanting a player inside the BE. If he’s in the portal and, especially, expressing an interest in joining the program and we haven’t circumvented any kind of rule…why wouldn’t we try to get him on board? Because of some supposed etiquette that’s been breached before by other, less upstanding coaches/programs that has nothing to do with now?
As a fan of FSU football, I've seen plenty of inter-conference xfers. Our Qb xfer'ed from Louisville. So, I don't have a problem. Not much different than teams swooping in in the 11th hour to take a recruit like UConn and Seton Hall in the past. Would love to see him in Red if he choosesIt only took me a few Mets games to like the DH in the National League. I'm sure it won't take that many games with David Jones to like the BE intraconference transfer rule.
One of my original clauses was “as long as we don’t circumvent any rules.”Well one way to look at it is that if a kid waits this long and then decides to enter the portal, he must have a destination in mind, which of course would lead many to think tampering had been going on. I don't believe CMA did anything wrong, he appears to be as clean as they come. But I just know how Id feel if Posh entered the portal tomorrow and ended up committing to Cooley and Providence in a few days.

I get it, because, let’s face it, we’ve been screwed many times before when it comes to recruits and whether or not they’ve signed LOI. This is different. If Posh went into the portal and ended up at Providence, as you used as an example, and Cooley and co did nothing wrong…then we’d have to suck it up and accept it much like DePaul will have to, most importantly, no matter if he ends up here or at Illinois.
Think we need a knock down shooter too, but it definitely makes us a lot betterTrue or False:
If Jones commits to St Johns, St Johns joins Nova and Creighton as 1 of the top 3 teams in the big east.
My answer: True
