[quote="fordham96" post=346024]I'm missing something why is what Slater wrote a shot at CMA?[/quote]
Andrew Slater @Andrew__Slater
It depends on the ex-Arkansas coach. He’s brought in his nephew to start. Hsu has the leverage. twitter.com/bags232/status…

How is referring to CMA and TJC in the above tweet NOT a shot?
Seriously?
"...depends on the ex-Arkansas coach...he brought in his nephew to start...Hsu has the leverage."
A Hollywood script is 'sold' on no more than 8 words to frame a concept.
Above you have the shot at both our HC and a legitimate AC and HC in-the-making and the reference to the 'struggle' vis-a-vis Hsu.
It's obvious, man.

If Figueroa transfers to sit a year at WKU then he is not as smart as we think he is. If Matt leaving left him bitter then see ya. If he was dedicated to Mully I could understand. Coach Anderson needs to re-recruit him. If he chooses to leave then we move on. I would just trust the new coach with hiring the right team if assistants and go from there. Although the last half of the season was terrible for him imo the best talent on the team would be Mustapha Heron and not Figueroa. If Figueroa's handler is playing a game then it's best we find an adequate replacement for Figueroa.
[quote="JohnnyFan" post=346040]Every once in a while, you get a player that perfectly fits what you want your team's identity to be. And, every once in a while, you get a player who plays like winning is life or death.
LJ is perfect for St. John's.[/quote]
Yeah, LJ is a perfect player for us. He wasn't used 'to perfection' in our 'system' last year which sometimes 'for good and other times for bad' operated on episodes of 'hero ball'.
Ironically, I think he would be a perfect piece in CMA's system.
But you hit on it JohnnyFan. For some reason, he doesn't seem 'comfortable' with our new coach.
Dunno if it's 'loyalty' to Hsu who may not be slated for an AC spot here after all.
Otherwise, why wouldn't he have stepped back toying with leaving, like Greg Jr., Roberts, Keita, and probably Heron have?
I hope he stays but it's not looking good.
I do wish the kid luck.
Another heavy 'sigh' experience as a Johnnie fan.
But onto the future.

Arkansas visit expected within the next week, per source. Miami and Georgia are potential visits. #sjubb
Musselman brutally effective at transfer game[/quote]
Frankly, a little surprising unless he has an immediately eligible card to play. Not sure if his family still lives in Massachusetts but not sure what that would possibly be.[/quote]
Maybe the card Figgy will play is that he doesn't get along with his family and wants to get farther away from them.

The best excuse I heard for a waiver was herb pope. He wanted to be closer to his family, but not too close because his family lived in a dangerous neighborhood.
Anyway LJ is testing the waters. He gets to go on recruiting visits again. They seem fun. MA job along with coaching basketball, hiring assistants, filling a roster, fund raising will also be re-recruiting LJ. Oh and this is just his first week. Nobody said it was going to be easy.

[quote="Moose" post=346051]If he transfers he will only get to play 1 year. He will have exhausted eligibility after his 1st playing year at another school.[/quote]
I don’t think he plans on playing more than one year at most, regardless.

hahaha that is funny.
Hsu doesn't have shit. Why does he have leverage? Because if SJU don't hire him then LJ will go to wku?
lol, there is no one person bigger then the team, LJ better realize that.
If he don't then oh well good bye.

You lost me on this. Why would he lose a year of playing eligibility?[/quote]
I take that back. I thought he played one year at JUCO but did two academic years there.

You get 5 years to complete 4 is the general rule. Remember he sat 1st year at New Mexico St. (that is his redshirt year). He then played 1 year of JUCO and 1 year at SJU. That is 3 years of college. If he transfers and sits next year that is 4 years. Therefore his 5th year, 2020-21, will technically be his last year of eligibility even though he will have only played basketball in 3 of those years. He would have to petition the NCAA for a 6th year. That can be granted but normally that is granted due to injury.

And he’s 21 now right? Normal senior age. He xfers and sits out a year he would be 23 for draft....I can’t see him doing that.

Actually, this is a unique situation. Figueroa enrolled at NMSU for the spring semester only. To your point, he did not play basketball there. But, does that one semester count as a full year or a half year? It may not count at all, or he may very well be granted a waiver.

Of course it counts as a year. If he played in 1 game even in the 2nd semester regardless of whether he enrolled only in 2nd semester he would have burned that year of playing eligibility.
