Zags: Welcome Aboard Slice

Like Paultzman said. Everyday is like Hanukkah. What will tomorrow bring?

I am pulling up Redmen.com everyday looking for who signed, who we are talking to and what great coach/recruiter we have added to the mix. This is awesome. Its like we have people who know what they are doing and actually care that it gets done.
 
Dare I say that a long sleeping giant has begun to awaken.

Its like suddenly the clouds have lifted and after 25 years of doing all the wrong things we are suddenly doing all the right things. Thank you Chris Mullin.

At long last true hope has returned!

I'm extremely delighted, and was personally pushing for Mullin when Lavin left.

I'm cautiously-optimistic at this point. Remember, some were saying similar about 5 years ago. I'll await for more commitments and, more importantly, games to be played to see what we truly have on our hands.

Currently, I'm rather excited with what is transpiring (ie, the make up of the staff, what they're doing on the road). I do feel we'll be successful, but I'm still tempering things a bit.

Very fair Dink. I would add that we can't expect to be a top BE team next season without a lot of things going our way very soon. In the event they don't, I will just consider next year phase one of establishing a highly successful & competitive program. Staff's investment in 17& 18 kids to me equates to their commitment to being proactive & planful. With a lot of hard work, I suspect this staff will makes us proud sooner than later.

Actually, I'm not expecting to be a top team in the conference next season. Just being competitive and middle-of-the-pack. If we're any better than "middle-of-the-pack," then I bet most of us will be pleased.

Frankly, if we were to add more solid pieces, as in Diallo, Mussini, Papagiannis, Sampson, and the likes, to go along with what we've already added (Williams and Sima) and currently have (Obekpa and Jordan).... We could possibly do some good things this season. May actually surprise.

I, personally feel we'll be alright in the long-run. But I'm still tempering things, nonetheless.

I agree with your post MJ. Personally I was very happy when Lavin was hired. I am not as close to the day to day happenings within the program so I am not sure what happened. As a fan and alum I can only look forward. I guess I see the aggressiveness that Coach Lavin had in his first couple of years return under Coach Mullin and I feel the positive energy and want so badly for it to work.

Agreed.

I know it's still way too early but here's my view on how those "things" could impact next year:

Sheed, Sampson, Diallo or Papa = potential top 3 big east team & NCAAs

Sheed / Sampson only or Sheed / Diallo or Papa only = bubble team on right side

No Sheed but Sampson, Diallo or Papa = bubble team on wrong side

No Sheed or Sampson = NIT regardless of Diallo or Papa

But the future looks bright and the way we are incorporating transfers will help us rebuild a lot quicker than I expected.

It's already clear that this staff works hard and will be involved with a lot of players. The key will be how well they close on the top players. Adding Slice today gives us instant credibility in that regard.

It's like you read my mind when you wrote this
 
This is a much better staff than with Lavin. I expect good things to come.
 
@franfraschilla: Known Chris Mullin and Barry "Slice" Rohrssen since they were 14. Add Matt Abdelmassih into the mix and you have great recruiting staff.

I'd be cautious about assuming what we "currently have".

With Mullin never coaching before, and some new kids coming i, I'm going with NIT next year, to me if they get to the NCAA gthen they'll be ahead of schedule.
Hey the NIT is better then giving him a two yr pass that i was willing to give him.
With Millin ripping it, I think it's safe to say, we'll go atleast to the NIT.

mine is more hope than inside info
 
So much good news lately, but here's some bad. I will be off of redmen.com until next season.

Have to finish out this school year strong and distraction free and take the SAT as well. My grades took a dip during our February and march run LOL. And I rarely post during the summer. So this is me signing off for a long time.

Oh and I also wanna say this season was the best experience I've ever had as a St. John's fan. I'm thankful I got to interact with all of you during it.

Peace out all. Go Redmen
