but as far as chris is concerned , every major player in the other power conferences is getting ready to go all in on him, so we can kill him all we want but at the end of the day, the kid is a player.

Can't see how Diallo would seriously consider playing for Lavin when another OSNA big man transferred away from the program when he was gonna get 30-35 minutes per game the next year

Maybe Obekpa is completely irrational and spiteful and just and all around jerk and maybe Diallo knows that and doesnt see this as that surprising or an indictment of the program.

I'd be all over this kid as a coach.  Big los.  Big, big loss. Losing Sampson wasn't a big deal...this is.

Who knows who even is going to be coach in 2015.

I have been willing to give Lavin the benefit of the doubt. He came into a very difficult position needing to fill entire roster on short notice when our reputation was at an all time low. But I don't see how he survives this. Unless he performs a miracle and has some huge commits and transfers this Spring the end is near. I suspect Whitesell is second guessing his decision to leave st Loiis. Sad. The reality is we may never recover as a program. A new President may well say we can't afford this and relegate us to NYU and Fordham status.

Post reporting it as well.  Wonderful.

Can't imagine the vultures circling Jordan right now, whispering in his ear to bolt to greener pastures.  I'm sure Realfan/Linda/Needs2go is having a stroke right now not being able to gloat about recent developments.

Sounds like Obekpa is gone.  http://zagsblog.com/  Don't care.  He quit on the team.  SJU should develop his character and let him keep the scholarship, and not let him in the gym.  Just to spite him.

Obekpa leaving is not good,  it leaves us very short up front and looks horrible for the program with players continually leaving.  That abeing said from a performance level,  I find it hard to imagine that Lavin cant find a player eith juco or 5th yr senior who can put up better numbers then Obekpa.  4pts per game- 5 rebounds and 3 block shots.  Am I missing something here?

2 more players could leave the program also as a result of CO leaving

Greene is really good friends with Obekpa, could be him. Also the second I'd say is either Jordan or Felix.

If they want to leave, let them.  We don't want kids who don't want to play for us.  What am I missing??  Oh wait, common sense.  Nevermind...

Maybe they want to play for us, but not for or current coach.  Who seems to be mysteriously quite during all this.

Wow. Went from one of the most talented rosters to decimated in no time. If Rysheed or DLo leave that's a death blow.

Reaching low mid-major status very quickly. Next year you'll be a RPI drag for anyone who is unfortunate enough to have you on their schedule.

Quick, lets make a nice thread about how good a job Lav has done to sway Cal into wanting him. Top notch inbound plays!
