Very excited about the hire. Can't wait to see who joins the staff and who they go after in the next few months. Exciting times in Johhny land.

Curious as to the terms - will they be made public?

The only way I was going to be satisfied with letting Lavin go was if we got a replacement who was better or had potential to make St. John's a power again. I think we got him.

No it's a private institution.

Saw the white smoke coming out of Utopia and Union.  At last--the "Fat Lady" sings.  Can't wait for presser on Wednesday

St. John's opened its checkbook for Mullin, I'm told. Contract is worth over $2 mil/year. Lavin was at $1.8 mil.

I don't think SJU has to open their checkbook up too much because I think donations rise substantially

Donations rise substantially.  Season ticket orders.  Total ticket sales.  This will probably end up being a below market deal compared to Lavin when its all said an done.

@BrandonTierney: SJU needs to do this right...w/Mullin will come an infusion of legit Wall Street money. The boys will back the program like never before...

I'm not sure this was posted yet....  But I particularly liked this quote from Tarik Turner:

Mullin and his staff can get out on the recruiting trail as soon as the weekend of April 10-12 and again April 24-26. There is a contact period April 17-23, and the late signing period begins April 15.

“He knows that, he knows that,” Turner said. “He’s ready to hit the ground running.”

I thought this was interesting, especially the history, and how it led to this decision.

Pretty darn good story on Chris!  Impressive!

I think she is right on about the fan base coming to life, both physically (to attend games) and financially (donations).
