Transfers SJU May Get Involved With

Sean Obi leaving Duke, assuming he is healthy he can help this program. He was a good player at Rice and just couldn't play over the horde of 5 star big men that Duke gets every year. Brings some bulk to the team and and someone who can actually post up and score.

Not healthy -- horrible knees.
 
Since we are getting a lot of our talent via the transfer route was thinking about who our best transfer has been to date? Based on how he performed here.
Best HS recruit was Mullin
Best JUCO was Berry
Best transfer-Reggie Carter? Ron Rowan?

Ron Rowan. Good grief. I'd take Curtis Redding and Bernard Rencher over Ron Rowan. Not to mention Paul Berwanger.

Anyway, Billy Paultz.

Heard of Rencher and Paultz obviously but before my time. Not familiar with Berrwanger but I am a big fan of "sittin on the dock of the bay" so Redding would get my vote.

Paultz was a JUCO. Some transfers came with hype like Jon Hempel who I believe was from U Conn and Farmer from Hofstra. As SJU fans have come to expect, letdowns are more common than pleasant surprises. Speaking of big shot transfers, Carter's short jumper with a few seconds to go beat Duke in the NCAAs on Black Sunday in North Carolina. That may even trump Rowan's jumper to beat Cuse for the Big East title.

Hempel was from UMass, and, as you noted, came here with big expectations and turned out to be a huge letdown. That said, no comparison between Reggie Carter and Ron Rowan. If it weren't for Rowan's big shot -- which admittedly was huge, even bigly -- no one would remember him (granted, a bit of hyperbole). Reggie, however, merits having his jersey (belatedly) hung from the CA rafters even though he was here for just two years. A truly outstanding Redmen ... and yet another one who, sadly, didn't get his proper recognition before leaving us.

Paultz was a JUCO.

I thought he was a JUCO as well but according to wikipedia Cameron College started giving out BAs in 1966, which was BP's first year.

"Cameron became solely a junior college in 1941 when the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education was formed and joined the group of institutions governed by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma A&M Colleges. Baccalaureate degrees were authorized in 1966 by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education."

OTOH according to Paultz's wikipedia page he went to "Cameron Junior College." I have no independent recollection as in elementary school at the time, my only agenda was to quash any idea that the wildly overrated Ron Rowan was close to the best anything ever in SJ history.
 
Matt Brust transferred in from ND, I think
, wildly slapping the floor on defense, loved that move!

Rowan in addition to hitting that big shot, was on Final Four team, started on 30 win team, had great hair, was from Joe Namath's hometown was the CBA player of the year back when CBA was a thing and had cup of coffee in the pros. With that resume maybe they should retire his number than let RF wear it anyway.

Brust transferred from North Carolina where his older brother Chris played.
 
It is easy to understand the age of the posters on this site when this and other threads divert to discussions of players who play at StJohn's 35+/- years ago.
 
Hempel, Brust, Rowan yada, yada, yada!
A digression gone way off track! :(
Hopefully the next transfer we discuss on this thread will not be the busts these guys were while playing major minutes.
As evident from the teams that get to the round of 32, without a legitimate post presence, most teams go nowhere.
To date our bigs have included Darien Williams, a once promising forward with multiple surgeries, Owens, a string bean,
Sima, a cowardly lion, and Yakwe, a 6'7 forward who cannot score or rebound.
Our front line was a Big East hoax. The rebounding margin deficit was insulting to behold.
Matt needs to show he can recruit men like Zanna and not another Daryl Hannah.

Thus explains where the floor slapping came from.
 
Looks like St John's University, in general, is very interested in the transfer market

=1&ceid=187&cerid=0&cdt=3%2F30%2F2017
 
get this guy:
[attachment]636854602.jpg[/attachment]

He looks smaller then Yakwe

he's got about 30lbs on Yakwe but more importantaly he "rebounds and plays defense" according to 72. That is a start. As I said, not "the" solution but considering we need 3 frontcourt players this would be a good start
