Title: Baldi probe: Where is Jordan?
Post by: Marco Baldi on December 22, 2014, 11:47:50 PM
What's the story now? Not returning for a week? Where is he?

Post by: STJ11Redmen on December 22, 2014, 11:53:51 PM
He was hospitalized, we don't play for a week, he's in Philly on bed rest per doctors orders. Please stop.

We don't need more drama. He was sick and it's Christmas time. He went home to Philly.

Well than Merry Christmas but have to admit when I heard later that he was out INDEFINITELY from a stomach virus I did get a little nervous.

Some timing. Same as last year? On bed rest you can travel to Philly?

It's fair to question. Something isn't right. I hope Jordan realizes this is hurting his NBA/Pro chances in a BIG way. Spoke to one NBA scout who said their team has already crossed him off their list due to pattern of off the court immaturity.

i gotta admit, the timing does feel odd. But hearing the players quotes after the game about Rysheed, I didn't get the feeling anything is up.

I know the timing is the same as last year's disappearing act but why would they make up a story about him being on IV fluids? He probably got very sick and he was going to go home for Christmas anyway so instead of getting everyone else on  the team sick they just sent him home to get better and he will  be back after Christmas.

Getting him away from home is best thing for him mentally and physically. It's rare that student athletes go home at all especially during their season.

That's not true. My brother had an FCS playoff game the Saturday after Thanksgiving last year and he came home after practice Thanksgiving morning and went back at midnight Thanksgiving night. He also came home on his bye week every year. I know basketball might be a little different because the team is smaller but you're telling me the De La Rosa's won't be home for Christmas?

at this point him transferring is a lot more far fetched than last year.  last year he missed the first game of the 2nd semester.  this year he played on Friday (1st game of 2nd semester).  meaning that if he decides to leave, he'd have to wait until Fall 2016 to play again vs playing spring 2016 had he not played last Friday vs St. Mary's. 
he's not transferring.  he'd have to be a complete nice person to leave.

i dont agree with marco usually , but you start to think about pelle , and thomas, and nuri , ect. It seems we tend to recruit a certain amount of kids who have issues here. Not even mentioning the Artis thing but I think he will get his life turned around where ever he ends up.

Marco this was LBSU, this isn't Nova, Gtown or Duke. They need a productive jordan to go anywhere. I think Daves onto something though. You look at it chronilogically. First he's not starting ( doesn't change him ) then you send him home , whats next- exile like D'lo had to go through? I hope not. The seniors deserve this season and to make the NCAAs finally. They really have worked their butts off.

I have no idea if there really is trouble here, but I seem to recall Lavin sighting family issues for his early return to Philly last year. Why lie, when it can really come back to bite you? Roger Rubin said sources close to the school said Jordan was on an iv Friday and played anyway. 

If this is BS and he's not sick at all, a lot of effort has been made to hide what's really happening. The credibility of the staff will come up if it turns out to be a fake story just to shut us up. 

Only at St.John's, could we be off to our best start in 25 years, and still be sick over it. Maybe we'll all head to the bathroom to barf. Or, maybe he really is sick, and this is a waste of time?

1.   Two years of the same thing can very easily be mere coincidence. He DOES have a sick mom and this is a popular time for many people to be sick.

2.  If there is a conspiracy, could it simply be as simple as rysheed wants to be home at Christmas and part of the deal w Lavin is that he'd be allowed to be OR basically he makes sure he is.  Not that he wants to leave but he's homesick and wants to be w his I'll mother?  That would be a believable conspiracy.

3.  Baldi it is very clear you are interested way more in St. John's when there is discord but way less when all is fine and we are winning.  Don't see you posting similar conspiracies or negatives about Iona. Can you just admit for once you enjoy when things don't go well for the team?

Post by: 0404 on December 23, 2014, 09:12:37 AM
Lavin said Jordan did not feel well prior to St. John's 53-47 win over Saint Mary's (Ca.) on Dec. 19. The next day Jordan saw doctors who treated him with intravenous fluids, and he is resting with his family in Philadelphia.




I believe this. Saw him up close at the St. Mary's game and he looked awful.

Discord is plentiful. Hence my # of posts. Did I not support the team when some of the rest here were cheering for losses? I want this team to win, not every 4 years.

You guys need to try to ignore that Baldi is the messenger.
Jordan is probably sick, but Baldi's underlying point, that he's been a big pain in the ass ... is absolutely true.   He skips practices to go home on a regular basis.
If this was any other player, they still might not play but they would be with the team and not sent home.    There are two issues here; a bout with a stomach virus, and continually missing practice.

Of course they can and many are.What we know about  this case is that he got sick and went home for Christmas early instead of laying in bed alone in a  Fresh Meadows apartment. Dont get how that makes him a punk.

Baldi how do you know for sure that he is "quitting" on the team.  I have a solid notion of what occurred last year, and things turned around after the holiday break.  My understanding of the current situation is that while Sheed is still showing signs of immaturity, it is not the same landscape as last year, and that generally speaking his teammates really like him.  I doubt they would if he was flat out quitting , especially with this having the potential to be a really good year.  Again, I don't, and will never know 100%, because I'm not around the team enough.  So I'm a bit hesitant to get on the kid, particularly given the life he has had, and remain hopefully that he will keep his head on straight and use basketball as a means to improve his family's life. 

And speaking for others I find it ironic that you get all over this kid at the first opportunity, but your big man Laury gets arrested and all you care about is the stat line.  He is a punk.  And having friends who know your Associate AD (Mr. Beyer) quite well, the Gaels have their share of questionable characters that you rout for without giving two S***s.

1- Does he miss practice? I find that hard to believe.
2. I have as positive as anyone around here, still this is troubling. I don't want to question his sickness but this isn't the 1st time. This is the 3rd. He had a tooth issue during the NIT. 
3. To sick to play or even be there Monday, but he should be at practice Friday.

People are skeptical because we hear all kinds of rumors that are denied, before eventually coming to pass. So is it an innocent kid who's sick, with a sick mother at home, who wants to start, instead of doing what the coach says is right for the team. Welcome to SJU.

Attacking the topic of the thread itself is pointless.  If you don't appreciate it, then don't engage in conversation on this topic.
Loughlin didn't give any reason, he just said its pathetic to discuss this.   That to me is trolling.   He's just saying that to get a rise out of people, he's not offering to engage in the conversation.

I have no idea if he is sick or not. I certainly hope he is. As opposed to the alternative. For the record, I heard from a couple people including someone respected on this board that there is an issue with Jordan disappearing and surfacing in Philly. Is that what happened here? I hope not, but for once Bluto is not wrong to question, even if his motive was to annoy a bunch of you.

He said what most rational people are thinking in 4 words. People creating baseless rumors and calling a 20 yr old kid they don't even know a punk because he missed a game and went to see his family for Christmas a couple days early because of a stomach virus. NYC and Philly are not lightyears away, you know.

So you heard a rumor. And now your going to speculate even further on a rumor that may or may not be true. And you're calling him a liar. I have a hard time believing, that with Lavin's track record of suspending kids for being 5 mins late for a bus, he would tolerate that kind of behavior, and if that was the case, he would be suspended right now.

Lavin would suspend a player who routinely misses practice. He suspended his best player in the middle of a tournament push for less than that.

To be clear, I truly don't know why he didn't play yesterday, but I'd be shocked if he isn't sick to some degree.
Skipping practices and he ends up in Philly is something I've heard from numerous people.   But credit to coach, he doesn't throw his players under the bus.   Scouts wouldn't look kindly at that.
So I don't think its always publicized.

Baldi how do you know for sure that he is "quitting" on the team. I have a solid notion of what occurred last year, and things turned around after the holiday break. My understanding of the current situation is that while Sheed is still showing signs of immaturity, it is not the same landscape as last year, and that generally speaking his teammates really like him. I doubt they would if he was flat out quitting , especially with this having the potential to be a really good year. Again, I don't, and will never know 100%, because I'm not around the team enough. So I'm a bit hesitant to get on the kid, particularly given the life he has had, and remain hopefully that he will keep his head on straight and use basketball as a means to improve his family's life. And speaking for others I find it ironic that you get all over this kid at the first opportunity, but your big man Laury gets arrested and all you care about is the stat line. He is a punk. And having friends who know your Associate AD (Mr. Beyer) quite well, the Gaels have their share of questionable characters that you rout for without giving two S***s.
You can go to Iona hoops board for your airing of the grievances. Or the college and sports section here.

Does Iona have a message board?  Wouldn't that require multiple fans?
I also imagine that if any of us were to go on any other team's board and post the amount of nonsense that you post here (otherwise known as trolling), we'd be banned.  Lucky for you, Dave's a nice guy.

I simply said, there SEEMS to be a well known rumor(of which one respected person on this board relayed to me and then heard it from another source) that Jordan has on occasion missed things and simply went home. Based on that being out there, it is understandable to be skeptical of the timing of this.
I, WASJU choose to hope that he is sick. For one he is my 2nd favorite player, two if something is up with him we can't make tourney w/o him.
If you are friends with anyone on this board(anything is possible) ask them if they have heard Jordan rumblings.

I called no one a liar. Did you quote the wrong person or are you stupid? I simply said, there SEEMS to be a well known rumor(of which one respected person on this board relayed to me and then heard it from another source) that Jordan has on occasion missed things and simply went home. Based on that being out there, it is understandable to be skeptical of the timing of this. I, WASJU choose to hope that he is sick. For one he is my 2nd favorite player, two if something is up with him we can't make tourney w/o him. If you are friends with anyone on this board(anything is possible) ask them if they have heard Jordan rumblings.
My bad, *insinuating he may be a liar. And to be honest seems to be a baseless rumor generated by the group of negative nancies on this board.
Would normally agree with you. But here is the thing, I was blaming Lavin for not starting Jordan for "one of his life lessons" or becuase of the TO's in Gonzaga game. The person who IM'd me on the board is in no way a "negative" poster, simply told me I was off base and said Jordan has some issues with immaturity and mentioned the disappearing to Philly thing. I then reached out to the one "source" I have and he basically confirmed that is what he was hearing too.
Listen if it was just Bluto, I would still be blaming Lavin. Is there anything to this? Maybe, maybe not. Hopefully there is just some stuff Jordan needs to improve on and this instance is not related. That is how I am rooting!
Evidently other people have heard similar stories and as they say you can only hear that Richard Gere gerbal story so many times before you start to believe it.

Again I am not saying anything about Jordan being sick! He probably was. All I am saying is I understand people being concerned. I was a little when I heard he wasn't playing. And truthfully I won't really feel 100% comfortable until I see him enter Tulane game.

You reading comprehension is as awful as your sexual fantasies about me, Bluto and Artest. I can understand me and Ron Ron but Bluto? To each  their own I guess.
I never started a rumor or said in any way I thought Jordan wasn't sick or even that anything is going on. I simply stated that there is and has been rumors about Jordan for two years now, and when he misses a game, there is understandable worry IMO.  I am not in Jordan's posse and I don't have a direct line to Lavin, so I have no idea. Unlike Bluto I root for SJU so I hope nothing is there.
Are all rumors true? No. Tulowitzki has about as much chance of being a Met as I do but they keep putting the rumors out there. Hopefully there is nothing to the Jordan thing as well.

It was OK State and yes it was a possibility. 

Lavin to USC had some legs too. 

These things happen. Just like Jordan not being as committed as he should be at times last year and this year. I hope he is ok and hope this time it's simply an illness and nothing more.

I dont get it, the contemplating not coming back makes zero sense for someone who had his eyes on leaving for the NBA after this season. He isn't going to get drafted unless he finishes out this year and if he doesn't he isn't suiting up for a transfer until 2016 now. None of it makes any sense.

Your right on all fronts, I was just trying to have a little fun.

I can't remember a guy on any SJU team who missed more games than Jordan.  Have any of the rest of the team ever missed games for such petty reasons? I can only recall dudes missing gamed due to suspension, and not "toothache" "stomach virus"...etc.

Lavin said Jordan did not feel well prior to St. John's 53-47 win over Saint Mary's (Ca.) on Dec. 19. The next day Jordan saw doctors who treated him with intravenous fluids, and he is resting with his family in Philadelphia. I believe this. Saw him up close at the St. Mary's game and he looked awful.
I noticed it at St Mary's game...looked gassed and out of it...

Do you think Jordan is lying and just didn't want to play or is contemplating transfer..? or do you think there is a chance that in the middle of flu season, he actually got sick..?

I'm not buying it. There is no benefit to letting Jordan do as he wants unless this is Lavin's last season. HS coaches of guys like Felix and Jones would never send another kid to Lavin if this is the case.

I think Lavin is covering up the mess that is the Jordan situation. Last year, it was sick mother, in the NIT it was toothache, now it's the flu. Jordan could cares less. He left for Philly without telling anyone, hence the flu excuse from Lavin.
Why doesn't he start and why can't he speak to the media? Read between the lines

So why would the other players have any incentive to go to practice, etc. Dom would punch Jordan in the mouth if the team thought Jordan was screwing around with what could be a special season.

Also that would mean the whole athletic office would be part of this "cover up". Way too many people would be involved for this not to leak out. Cover ups are fun to debate but most are BS like this case.

Something def seems to be up with Jordan as far as being immature. Enough people have heard things. But as PMG indicated it is Flu season. He plays Sunday and this is a non issue. Unfortunately as someone else mentioned he does seem to miss a bunch of games and every time he does this will be brought up.

As far as someone punching Jordan in the face, I must have missed when that happened to Obekpa for refusing to go into the NIT game. Anyone who has ever played sports knows that for the most part other players DON'T discipline each other. That is what coaches are for.

Something def seems to be up with Jordan as far as being immature. Enough people have heard things. But as PMG indicated it is Flu season. 

He doesn't have the flu though. He has a "stomach virus."

5 games in year and a a third Moose w/o an injury
To me that seems to be a lot. Maybe I am wrong but I don't think you will find someone who has missed that many w/o a significant injury.
Harrison other than being suspended I don't think has missed a game
I don't recall Hatten or Hardy missing a game in 2 years.
Barkley had the eligibility thing, but I don't recall the elite 8 guys missing a game in the two years they were together except for Ty Grant who broke his hand.

That was a good pull Moose. I hadn't thought of it that way, even when you first said it.

The question is - will RJ turn on the turbo soon?

If even half of these rumors are true we may be better off without him next year. Hope he comes back ready to go. We need him this year and he needs us.

That was after that family member was killed.  All his other misses were CA games.  My understanding is he doesn't care about CA games.  Hates playing there.

Jorden is a real PITA. Too bad we need him so much. Of course these antics aren't going to help his NBA stock. Can't see him not returning,though. He probably will be gone (Europe or NBA), after this year ,so I can't see him not returning for 2nd semester.

Based on ranking I thought we were getting a pg that played hard all the time. Does he think he can float off his HS Rep.? Based on what is he considered a top player? He is not involved enough for a guard. Belongs running the base line.

I can't believe it.

Is it fair for the fans to get on a player for not caring about Carnesecca Arena games when they themselves don't care enough to go?

He's been bitching on Twitter about how Lavin won't let the media talk to Jordan, and vice versa. This is his response to that. Not very professional, but then again, he works for a rag.

The writers have zero to do with the headlines, and he doesn't say anything about Jordan (or the team's success in spite of Jordan's struggles) that isn't 100% true. So I'm not sure this is his "response" to anything.

The logical thing for Jordan to do is hook up with John Lucas this summer for guidance & return for another season. That said, his inflated sense of self & "posse" input may preclude a sensible decision.

Seems like a summer with John Lucas should be mandatory for all of Lavin's incoming recruits.  :)
