Florida Gulf Coast and LaSalle make it to the Sweet 16 with guys who can shoot, crash the boards and run. We have athletes who can't shoot or box out or play as a team. There are great players all over this country.............. why don't we get our share?
This must end next year or we should form a new conference with Fordham and Manhattan and play the best CYO teams in Brooklyn and Queens.
I am sick and tired.

In 30 years of St. John's basketball, there are only a handful of players that we've had that you could call good outside shooters who could also play the game. Start with Mullin, add Ron Rowan, and then you really have to scratch your head to think of a very good, reliable outside shooter. Sealy was a medium range shooter and slasher, Artest the same. Hatten and Bootsy were mostly scorers without tons of reliable range. I really can't think of any others historically, no less think that we need great outside shooting to be a competitive team.
