Addition by subtraction
Your tombstone?  ;) :)

Currently my last will and T orders Missus Fun to cremate my remains and flush them down the toilet, but she says she will not do so. Women, ammirite? In which case if my remains are interred I'm torn between

Wish You Were Here

and

Are We There Yet .

We are...putting our hopes on mediocrities who let us down in the long run.  Sheesh!  How far we've fallen.

The inexcusable Jessica Turberry debacle, which had us blind while French committed to St. Louis set us back. Now we are letting homegrown kids, which were the supposed focus of our recruiting classes, slip from silent verbals. What is going on?

Our team next year has the potential to be dancing. A couple of insurance additions can solidify that. 2017 has been a disaster on the recruiting front, and we might be feeling it while in foul trouble next season. To put it lightly, we need to clean up over the next two and a half weeks before the Spring Signing period ends on May 17th.

While we're begging Kunta Kante to come...a player like 7' Mohamed Bomba ...the sixth ranked player in the country...is still on the board.  He's from Harlem.  Has he visited?  If you have to beg somebody...beg this guy.

No

If he wanted to be here we would have been recruiting him. He is going a blue blood, next.....

Then maybe we should be in a lesser conference where we can be like Iona and go to the NCAA's by dominating who we play.  You're right, we're not blue blood, so try something else.

They probably did beg him. But, not interested, means not interested. I'm disappointed w this years recruiting , but the staff isn't made up of nice persons.

Thats not what I am saying. Top 10 kids for the most part are going to go to KU, UK, Duke, UCLA, etc. Some of them we have a shot at. Bamba is not one of them. If he had interest in coming here we would have rolled out the red carpet for him. Some kids just don't want to stay home. Owens dad was on twitter the other day saying Tariq would have never come to St. john's if he was from NY, he wanted to go away to school. No use in recruiting a kid who has no interest in coming to your school.

Where do these visions come from that we ever were anything near the blue bloods. We root for a school who compiled wins. Never won the NCAAs. Won two NITs when dunking wasn't allowed and the three pointer didn't exist.

The game has changed. We are what we are. Accept it and hope one day we can be like Butler or Nova or continue to live in constant disappointment

What makes you think we would dominate in a lesser conference? If we were recruiting with only a lesser conference on our resume we would get even lesser talented players and be mediocre in that conference. We are, we remain and always will be...St. John's.

My guess is Mullin and the rest if not most of the coaching staff would stay.  That would give us an edge over the lesser schools.  Face it.  We haven't belonged in the Big East since Jarvis left with the exception of one or two Lavin years.  The NCAA invites seven BE teams out of ten to the dance and we're sucking hind tit again.  Now we have the greek chorus hoping we're a bubble team or maybe NIT worthy.  Does anyone have a better idea?
