Transfers

[MainMan]

His high school coach is Gary Decesare who was the long time coach at St. Raymond's in the Bronx and knows St. John's well. Unfortunately we have not recruited anyone from where he is coaching now in Chicago in a long time but I am sure there are several connections we can use if we wanted to start a conversation. Not sure if there would be interest on Matthews part but could come in and play with Ahmed for a year and then move into that spot.

It's not just St. Ray's. SJU has rarely successfully recruited players from any of the Catholic schools in either the Bronx or Westchester. There was the Ricky Torres experience, Bill Walsh and, I think, Kevin Loughery. Any others?

Ahem....

With these stats, why transfer? Probably tired of the beautiful California weather.

They have a higher ranked SG coming in. Maybe promises were made.

Will definitely give them credit for working hard but not too sure they are doing a good job on the recruiting front. They secured Whitehead and Delgado by giving their high school coaches jobs on staff. Their freshman class was nothing special this past season though it may be better this season. But other than one good class in quite a few seasons no one is raving about their recruiting.
On the other hand our staff brought in a very good class under the circumstances for 2015, a very good class for 2016, have filled 2017 with two very highly rated transfers and already have a very good commitment for 2018.
Remember McLean is coming from Quinnipac not Arizona or Michigan State. I would not be so excited had we gotten him.

I believe McLean committed to Oklahoma before the scandal broke and Oklahoma subsequently withdrew the schollie. He is a high major talent.

OU didn't want him as a starter, so if anything he would have been a high major bench player. Averaged 12.9 and 3.3 (and 3 TO) at Quinnapiac, so not sure what he does at a higher level.
