I noticed this morning that Zach is already pumping Isiah Whitehead's mother and Seton Hall on twitter.

Also noticed somebody called her Mrs. Tiny Morton and Zach got very upset.

I wonder if this more to come in the future of negative articles on SJU and him trying to pump up seton hall.

I also think he is a kid trying to make a name for himself.

Zach has written dozens of positive articles on our program this year and is a good young writer.

And very available & candid. Big improvement over Lenn IMO.
 
yeah, the unamed coach sources for Lavin recruiting failures and problems at SJU with Lavin turned out to be completely false.
Since then he has changed his tune.

You say that with such conviction.
The source within SJU was as legit as legit can get, I can assure you.
One thing I never understood is those who go back and either A- brag about past statements/predictions or B- revels in someone who was 'wrong'.
 
Zach is a member of redmen.com so he might as well chime in here and defend himself because I know he's reading this.

Concerning IW, Zach was stumping hard for him to come to SJU. His article the day before IW popped for SH was nauseating trying to compare IW to Harkless.

Bottom line, I'm not sure if there's a media guy out there who pushes harder to get NY kids props.

In the day and age of Goodmans, Rankins, Biancardis, Borzellos, Gottliebs all overhyping Duke, UNC and UK players, Zach balances it out.

Double-edged sword because as much as he's pushing IW and ripped Lavin, he's turned a blind eye to the circus that is Seton Hall.

Let's wait and see if he gives them their due when Lillard, Tiny & Co. implode next year.

BTW, never have I seen a media guy introduce a prospects mother on twitter. That gave me major pause.
 
Moose, sounds like you are still unhappy with Lavin.

I don't like all the surrounding stuff. The cliches, the analogies, its not even coach speak. Its white noise to me honestly at this point. That's it. I don't care who is coach just win baby. He can attract a level of player we haven't seen here in a long long time. If he can minimize some of the inbalances in the roster construction and player development a bit we will be in business. I support this team and Lavin to the fullest. Doesn't mean I cant express some dissatisfaction in some things that are said or done.

*I know it might be hard for some to believe but reporters have legit sources. The irony that after the article was written our staff was all over the road recruiting again. It sure spurred something.

Good point about being able to express dissatisfaction and still be on someone's side. I feel like our sites don't allow for that, and many are all or nothing. Harrison is one of my favorite players of all-time, but I don't think he has a snowball's chance in hell in the NBA. I posted that he'd score 40 in a game at some point in his career when he was signed. Still waiting for that.

As for the sources, I am a little more skeptical. As you know I have been a source for the Post several times. My biggest beef with Robbins is him using my name directly without telling me he was doing a story or asking for a quote...it was a normal conversation over the computer and my gf's father woke me up the next day telling me I was quoted in the Post. I've also had Robbins try to buy me and some friends meals and offer things like help getting into NYU Law School in exchange for information. He's a rat and he was never particularly good at what he did.

Braziller is exponentially better. He's friends with a bunch of guys from these sites. His connections will grow with time.
 
What ever happened to Lenn Robbins???

I was at the SJU office in Alumni Hall a number of years ago to pick up tix and he was sitting there very at home with a St. John's shirt on, I was surprised. I think it was the beginning of NR's time.

Minds would be blown if people knew who it was. And a coach is as legit as you can get as well. Zach is not slimey like Lenn. Lenn and his colleagues were trolling the SJU campus during the Pitt scandal offering meals and crap. Having Zach and Howie now is more than a breath of fresh air. They are not bitter old men. They are hustlers but also a new breed of a modern journalist.
 
Totally agree with you Moose.

But I am thinking that had a little bit to do with it. Definitely agree that the Zach article lit a fire under the staff to get out there.
 
Lenn Robbins gave my buddy tickets for Big East Tourney a few years back. He told my buddy they were complimentary threw the Post. A week later demanded money, if that was the case my buddy would have got them threw Cuse. LR and Norm went to dinner on the regular. Any time I saw him around he just came off as arrogant.

The source may have been legit but the information was BOGUS, especially the part about Lavin's heart not being into coaching at St Johns and just going through the motions. Maybe this legit source had his own agenda and was using Zach as a tool.
One thing I never understood was someone saying something negative about a person and not being MAN or WOMAN enough to attach their name to it.

Fair point but that's the life of reporting. Reporter reaches out to someone for info. They share but don't want their name attached. Been going on for eternity. Very possible agenda was part of it. But there is a direct link to Lavin so its not like a sisters, friends, dog walkers cousin was reporting back the information.
