Who would you rather have? Who do you think we get?
I think we get both. If only one, I'd rather Diallo since it would send a better statement. ...even if we'll only have him two years or so.
-
I want it all, and I want it now.
-
i want both. but i would be extremely happy with just getting Sampson. we need someone to pick-up DLo offense.
-
Haha you kind of bailed us out with the "both" there, no? Of course we all want both, and while Diallo would be the sexy choice I think Sampson has the ability to leave a bigger mark on the program. Getting a McDonald's all-american would be great but for some reason I have a really good feeling about Sampson.
Have to imagine Diallo is planning on being a one and done, and if Sima is as good as some people are saying we really have Obekpa back I think our short term and long term needs both say Sampson. Not an easy call though, hopefully we don't have to make it!
-
Sampson for me is the choice of you get just one. I think if we get one we probably get the other. I think if Sampson commits and then we would have Obepka, Jordan, Williams, Sampson and Sima I think that would be very attractive to Diallo. That's jsut my two cents but I think we can get both but I would take Sampson because we need scoring and he's probably a guy who will be in school for 3 years as opposed to Diallo.
-
Both of course, but if it's just one, I say Sampson. We are pretty good with bigs next year, but we don't have a scorer like Sampson.
-
We need sampson. he seems like a 4 year stud.
-

This. We need guards
-
Two men enter...no man leaves
-
I'm greedy, in this instance, hnk. Eff it! Give me both! :)
-
We are in good shape for both. 1 announcing soon. Was told we are in the lead for Tarrant also
-
Guards - Sampson and Tarrant would be money. Add those two with Sheed and possibly Doughty and we are talking.

Safe to say that's Sampson considering he cancelled a visit to SMU to meet with us this weekend?
-
How many ships do we have left??
-

Sampson and Tarrant would be terrific. Diallo in addition would be amazing.
-
How many ships do we have left??
Right now one. Two if JDR didn't get a year of eligibility back. Could be more depending on roster moves.
-
I'd rather get Diallo. But think getting both is very possible.
-

Are you the one with the great sources? Please tell me you are. Sampson and Tarrant! Exactly who we need! And with Tarrant , Diallo is much more likely to come because he wants to play with a good point guard, and the signings would generate great momentum and excitement, which is like a magnet in recruiting.
-
Sampson, put that in the bank for 3-4 years and watch it develop. Diallo seems more likely to leave early, while also at a position with less of a lead. With that said I would be ecstatic if we get either.
-
Tarrant, Sampson, and Diallo make this a possible tournament team next season.
I didn't think that was even remotely possible, not in my wildest dreams. But IF about 4 things go our way... that would be a very rotation with Tarrant, Rysheed, Sampson, Williams, Diallo, Obekpa.
VEry nice.
But I question why Tarrant would come if Rysheed and Sampson are both here. Doubt very much that all 3 are on the same team.
-
Baldi's posts used to piss me off. Now they make me happy.

That's just the Mullin effect kicking in.
-
Sampson, because he is a likely three or four year contributor & in short term we also need guards who can score.
-
Just my hunch, they'll both commit on Monday.
-
A buddy of mine is a die hard KU fan. He is doubtful that KU lands Diallo. In fact, he has heard that we are VERY much in it for him.
Seems like a Saint John's / UK battle.

whats been really eerie is poison and desco's happy disposition, its like there has been a tremor in the force.

I read an article last night by SBNation and they think it's between us and ISU . Go figure.

Who is Tarrant?

Who is Tarrant?
Transfer from Alabama who transferred to Alabama from Tulane.

Both is the easy answer...but right now the biggest need is in the back court so I would say Sampson. Plus as others have mentioned, Sampson will likely be a 4 year contributor.

I think our biggest needs are equal if we're breLimg it down in terms of frontcourt and backcourt. We have one player in each court that we can count on, and even that is pretty ambitious considering the last two seasons.
This team needs offense. Jordan will score, but he's one guy. Obekpa will probably score a little, but unless he really works on his entire offensive game this summer, we really can't expect more than 8 or 9 points per game.
If you break it down by position, IMO, it looks like this now:
PG Jordan - 20 ppg
SG Doughty - 9.5 ppg
SF Alibegovic - 8 ppg
PF Williams - 11 ppg
Obekpa - 8 ppg
What we're hoping for is this:
Jordan 18 ppg
Sampson 13 ppg
Williams 9 ppg
Diallo 11 ppg
Obekpa 8 ppg

If we get Tarrant (or a different legit PG) I would love to run a 3 guard line up with Williams at the 4 and CO or Diallo at the 5.
I think with CO and Diallo on the court at the same time, that line up would struggle to score in the half court.

Sampson still projected for SJ's as of today .... bustingbrackets.com

You take Diallo...everyone just assuming Sampson is a 3-4 year player, you don't know that.
You take the McDonald's All American...they need to start getting those type of players more often an establish it as a trend

On a related note, 5 star c Stephen Zimmerman just committed to unlv. Uk was thought to be in the running. Although we've been hearing a lot of Kansas vs sju for diallo I think cal might start getting antsy and a desperate cal is a dangerous cal haha.

He'll be a freshman. Let him come off the bench and earn a starting position. He plays like an all american, then he'll start.

Cal or Self don't guarantee anything. It's a given he will play major minutes anywhere someway, somehow.

That's fine. but if you do that he won't come here over Kansas or Kentucky. You would just have to realize and accept that
-
Mullin isn't going to tell him he isn't starting, that's ridiculous. He may not tell him he will start either but there's no way he won't start in he comes here. He will be the highest rated recruit we have had in a long time and a New York kid. He may not guarantee him a starting spot but he will definitely not tell him he won't be starting, that would be make no sense. Anywhere this guy goes he will start.
-
To think that you don't need to stroke these kids egos is being naive at best. That's the state of the game today. SJU is not Kentucky, nor is it Kansas. We all want it to be but we're not anywhere near their level yet. Giving a star recruit the hope of big minutes is all part of the process. Of course he's got to earn those minutes. But you better believe that the coaches are selling him on those big minutes also.

So sophomore and juco transfer Darien williams should automatically start over freshman and mcd aa MVP in year one...just because diallos younger?
Mullin should hire you. I am sure w your strategies you'd have a pipeline of mcd aas dying to come here knowing they'll be completely nh off the bench...

Now when you say "create" do you mean old testament, Genesis, creating mankind? Or do you mean creating like with Mr potato head?
Because I tried to make a team of basketball players once out of play - dough, but the dog ate them.

My usual talkative sources on Diallo are silent......wondering how meeting went?

I assume your sources include Cheick's advisor. If not, you are missing the key ingredient in this process.
-
Who do you mean by his advisor? You can PM if you'd prefer. I still think no one speaks for Cheick, but Cheick. Do you know who was at the meeting?

If you minimize the influence of his advisor you are wrong. Leave it at that & yes I do know who that is.
-
Who? Or just say u r unwilling to disclose. I am not minimizing anything. I think you make a mistake minimizing Cheick and his fortitude. But to each his own,
By the way, i admit i have zero idea at this moment what he will decide....what the tipping factors will be and who will influence him. And when he will decide?
I just hope.

I'm not giving you a name, but accept that recruitment of many of kids from Africa include guardians and advisors, many with fine intentions. Obekpa recruitment was led by OSNA, but this isn't. I have chatted with this individual a few times about work he does with kids in his native country. I have no interest in making things up & merely asked if your "sources" included his advisor. Apparently I touched a nerve. Sorry, perhaps we should move on.
-
Ok, now, I know who you are speaking about. That's what I would have guessed. I don't talk to him personally, but do talk to people who do talk to him. He has influence....not what it was three years ago. Didn't touch any nerve......just think you don't really get Diallo.
I still don't have any idea what he'll do......I guess you do from his advisor. We'll see.

So true. The only one I ever heard from the horse's mouth was the Simplice Njoya recruitment. My cousin coached him his senior year, and he was about the 10th rated center in the country. My cousin said Dougherty and others offered him, but he went with the AC at UNLV because the advisor was friends with him. When the AC ended up going to Duquesne, the advisor pushed him there despite all the good offers (Michigan, GT, UNC, etc) he originally had. Ironically, Cal wound up with him at Memphis after he transferred after his soph season. My cousin said it was crazy how this advisor gave him bad advice based upon their personal interest.
Thus,
Advisor = Good Advice/Bad Advice just like any other person. Problem is their agenda just like any other person too.

Maybe CO, Williams and Diallo all start - lol.

Diallo is more of a complete player than Obekpa. A much better motor too. He sneaks up in the box score and will 10 points off 6 shots before a half all off put backs and hustle.
Obekpa is a better shot blocker and has a better midrange shot which isn't saying much.
I'd love to see them play on the floor together. I think Diallo would push Obekpa and vice versa.

Diallo is not an offensive liability at the 4. He and CO would be a fine together. With good shooters at the 1-3 spots, we would have a great team on the floor.

It depends who the guards are. They are the ones getting majority of the shots and both CO/CD are great passers out of the post.
Additionally I think defensive rebounding would see significant boost and allow this team to get out and run. Diallo is best big in the country running rim to rim.
-
CO [...] great passers out of the post.
16 assists in 819 minutes.

Diallo remind anyone of jefferson of duke or kid gilchrist of kentucky?

Yes a longer and more physical Kidd Gilchrist.

Looks like none of the above. Top '16 class will be a must get.

Lavin was lucky he was able to coach his seniors. Homeboy would have been canned last year had it not been for the president transition?

How soon you forget. It's ok, I enjoy owning you, which is why I didn't pursue yours and boo bet
I've "known" you a long time Baldi.. Lets be real.. the Lavin thing was the first thing you got right in about 3 years ( after crying wolf on his firing 2-3x previously).... Nostradamus, you are not.
We are in much better spot now.. Thats not the argument.. Doesn't mean we don't get to bitch and moan when we continue to lose out on the big fish. Lets hope Mussini comes aboard. Mussini, Williams, Sima is a nice little haul, all things considered. We need to sign another guard, badly.
-
Simple, would we rather have Lavin and Sampson or Mullin, Slice, Matty, Sima, Williams, Owens(16) and budding relationship with Rawle? I know i which one i would choose.
Great post
Also add legit shot at Herron (sp ?) '16

I can't argue with that. But I will. Just because it wasn't tweeted by our great local media doesn't mean it didn't happen. I've been contacted on the side by some who I respect saying "holy shit, I can't believe you posted that". But of course, I've been wrong, who hasn't? That's what great about a message board, we can explore a lot of possibilities

U can be happy Mullin is here and not bash Lavin at every opportunity. Mullin is here because Lavin did a good job. Mullin didn't come 5 years ago.
Why is bashing Lavin a bad thing? Some of us think he deserves it
I get that some people don't want to read about it in every thread, but that's not what is going on. I think most posters have been pretty constrained.
-
Just to be clear i liked Lavin and would only take Mullin over him from the realistic options that were in play. I know he gets bashed a lot but i appreciate what he did here.

Hey homeboy....me too.

seriously i like lavin , but if he was here our roster would be NAIA next season

Simple, would we rather have Lavin and Sampson or Mullin, Slice, Matty, Sima, Williams, Owens(16) and budding relationship with Rawle? I know i which one i would choose.
I think I'd take Sampson plus whoever else Lavin would bring in, instead of Sima and Williams. Sima is only a three star. And Owens is good but Lavin could have brought in someone like him easily. 51st rated juco; not a big deal. Sampson is a big deal two and done recruit. Very hard to get guys like that. Then release Lavin and bring in Mullin.
The truth with Mullin is he saw the writing on the wall in Sacramento. He was on the outs with the owner who wanted him to coach the team. He was reassigned and saw the writing on the wall. Basically, he was run out of there. Louie has always wanted his boy in there and he may lack for objectivity here.
Don't get me wrong, I love Chris Mullin, but I would have preferred that they waited a year so Lavin could recruit. Then he'd have a more talented roster to coach.
Mark Jackson's also out there. He has experience, a real coaches personality, and he is a minister with his own church and congregation. If you read Boeheim's book "Bleeding Orange" he says you recruit the mothers. Who better to recruit the mothers of high school basketball players then a Protestant Christian preacher man? Who also happens to be a top basketball alumnus and the second leading assist man in NBA history!

Fine's wife? I don't get the joke. It doesn't fit with what I posted. The fact is that these mothers would love Mark Jackson. And you might think it's hilarious Baldi but how can you not think it's true. African Americans are the most church going ethnicity in a churchgoing country. They take their Christian faith very seriously. The fact is that the mothers would love him. That's who I want recruiting. Why did the NFL players have such an affinity for Tebow? A big part of it was his strong faith. I'm telling you, it goes over well with African Americans if it is genuine. Well Mark is so genuine about it that he has thousands of followers in his congregation. Plus you can't deny the fact that he has a coach's personality.
I don't mind at all if you disagree, but you have to say why. No one word response and no personal attacks.

Do great christian men cheat on their wives with hookers?

Do great christian men cheat on their wives with hookers?
What? Did Mark cheat on his wife with a hooker? I'd imagine some christians do. I'm not very religious myself, in fact I'm agnostic, but just because you are Christian doesn't mean you are without sin. That's not the point. I don't think I remember hearing Mark did that. In fact I doubt it's true. But if it is true, remember, Rick Pitino is still doing pretty well in recruiting, even though he is still playing second fiddle to the school in Lexington.

I think if Jackson wanted to coach college, which he apparently does not, that opposing coaches might slip that in if he was pushing the good Christian angle. Not judging, just surmising what opposing coaches might do.

Just read the article in the link. So that's what you were talking about with "one of those pictures" That's incredible. That's messed up. There's incredible evil in this world bros. She was probably acting like she didn't want to do it but he talked her into it. He's a fake man of god? Like I said above, just because you are Christian, does not mean you are without sin. Especially in Protestantism. Martin Luther said we are saved by faith alone. This is what the Protestants believe. Pitino does just fine in recruiting though. People don't hold what he did against him. It's really between him and his wife.

And what boosters do is between them and the players

You stated he could play up the Christian minister angle. It was pointed out if he did that, the sordid details of the affair/extortion plot would be brought up by opposing coaches. You can't have it both ways of the discussion. He would be better served to keep any talk about basketball.

Hey Bball, I didn't know about the "sordid affair" and I DID NOT BRING IT UP! When I finally read the links I said "no christian is without sin". That shouldn't make you puke. I was objecting to him saying the posts make him puke, but I didn't post anything about the affair; others did.

Hey Bball, I didn't know about the "sordid affair" and I DID NOT BRING IT UP! When I finally read the links I said "no christian is without sin". That shouldn't make you puke. I was objecting to him saying the posts make him puke, but I didn't post anything about the affair; others did.
I was only referring to your comment about how Jackson could recruit the mom's with the Christian minister angle. My first thought after the affair was brought up was he might be recruiting them for something else. Then, I thought this all should end as he probably will never coach at the Alma mater

Simple, would we rather have Lavin and Sampson or Mullin, Slice, Matty, Sima, Williams, Owens(16) and budding relationship with Rawle? I know i which one i would choose.
I think I'd take Sampson plus whoever else Lavin would bring in, instead of Sima and Williams. Sima is only a three star. And Owens is good but Lavin could have brought in someone like him easily. 51st rated juco; not a big deal. Sampson is a big deal two and done recruit. Very hard to get guys like that. Then release Lavin and bring in Mullin.
The truth with Mullin is he saw the writing on the wall in Sacramento. He was on the outs with the owner who wanted him to coach the team. He was reassigned and saw the writing on the wall. Basically, he was run out of there. Louie has always wanted his boy in there and he may lack for objectivity here.
Don't get me wrong, I love Chris Mullin, but I would have preferred that they waited a year so Lavin could recruit. Then he'd have a more talented roster to coach.
Mark Jackson's also out there. He has experience, a real coaches personality, and he is a minister with his own church and congregation. If you read Boeheim's book "Bleeding Orange" he says you recruit the mothers. Who better to recruit the mothers of high school basketball players then a Protestant Christian preacher man? Who also happens to be a top basketball alumnus and the second leading assist man in NBA history!
Plus - unfair advantage - Boeheim even had Bernie Fine's wife recruiting for a while
Fine's wife? I don't get the joke. It doesn't fit with what I posted. The fact is that these mothers would love Mark Jackson. And you might think it's hilarious Baldi but how can you not think it's true. African Americans are the most church going ethnicity in a churchgoing country. They take their Christian faith very seriously. The fact is that the mothers would love him. That's who I want recruiting. Why did the NFL players have such an affinity for Tebow? A big part of it was his strong faith. I'm telling you, it goes over well with African Americans if it is genuine. Well Mark is so genuine about it that he has thousands of followers in his congregation. Plus you can't deny the fact that he has a coach's personality.
I don't mind at all if you disagree, but you have to say why. No one word response and no personal attacks.
Mark could send them one of those pictures
Just read the article in the link. So that's what you were talking about with "one of those pictures" That's incredible. That's messed up. There's incredible evil in this world bros. She was probably acting like she didn't want to do it but he talked her into it. He's a fake man of god? Like I said above, just because you are Christian, does not mean you are without sin. Especially in Protestantism. Martin Luther said we are saved by faith alone. This is what the Protestants believe. Pitino does just fine in recruiting though. People don't hold what he did against him. It's really between him and his wife.
Your posts make me want to vomit. Can you join another site to talk about this crap? Jesus (small pun intended).

I know, bball, but at the time I posted about him coaching at SJU, did I know about the affair? No, I didn't. So I'm not trying to have it both ways, I just was not aware of the affair at the time of the initial posting. And then I responded to Marillac's unfair posting about him puking. Say the guys who mentioned it in such an explicit way make you puke. Not me.
But if I was aware initially of the affair, I would not have said that Jackson could have been hired before CM.
