Shoots 38% from the 3 line. Was recruited by other high majors. Seems like a nice complementary piece.

2nd leading scorer on a 7-25 team that finished last in the Southern Conference. If he is more than a reserve/complimentary player, this team isn’t sniffing the postseason

It’s hard to say. Yes, VMI isn’t a world beater, but Coach Pitino recruits 3 and D guards.

Posters who said SJU should move down to the MAAC are halfway getting their wish, because the MAAC is moving up to SJU.

Hope it’s one like Florida Atlantic and we go to the Final 4

We’ll never see anything like that again. In a month or so no one outside of FAU will remember they made the final 4

Yes, he was a brick layer.

Norm would have recruited these players as starters.
Rick is first filling from the bottom up. 
I expect impact recruits from here on out.

At this juncture, they do look like Norm's players.  On the other hand, Pitino can coach...Norm would have lost the Big East with the Olympic Dream Team.

Eugene Lawrence, Dexter Gray, Cedric Jackson has to be the worst recruiting class in our history. It’s only rivaled by Anthony Mason Jr, Thomas Jasuloinas, and Ricky Torres.

Otherwise, you’re right on.

How do you know one of these recruits won’t become an impact player next year?

Lavin's last class (of one: Amar Albigitowtz) was the worst class in history and it's not even close, except for Mullins first class. Neither of which included an NBA player.

Plus Aaron Spears, top 100 and Rodney Epperson.

The line is "other than that you've made some good points." I should know, I created it. Remember: great artists steal, poor artists imitate.

Anyway, this fall back that Pitino is doing better than Anderson and Norm, that's not much of an argument.

You left out the PF from WCC. Keith Thomas. He turned out to not be eligible, but he could play.

Spears was top 100 in high school, but that rating means less after you get on the college court and show everyone that you shouldn't have been in the top 100. We haven't had much luck with Illini guys.

The only impact that these most recent recruits will have is getting the ball to Joel Soriano.  An impact player is one who becomes the second option for points in the offense.  The current recruits are the 4th, 5th or lower options.

It wasn’t so long ago that Soriano was our Achilles heel on the court.

This scholarship is a payback to Jimmy Conway, Sean's uncle for keeping his mouth shut about Pitino's involvement in the Lufthansa heist.  Will be the designated white kid on the team that fans cheer when he comes into the game with 50 seconds left.
