I hadn't seen anything about new staff and Curbelo but the New York Jayhawks twitter account recently chimed in on a twitter thread and stated that CMA and staff have reached out to Curbelo and he is a priority in the 2020 class.  Good news.  Staff is involved with lots of 2020 4 star talent.

I could see Jay David the program director of Jayhawks and Mike Anderson really getting along. Honestly I'm surprised no one has hired David as a coach yet. He's legit good guy and has gotten players with a lot less than big players in NYC.

Good question. Just like businesses or schools there are travel programs with more resources. Whether that be sponsorship from apparel companies, non-profit foundations that run the program, and/or private funding from donors that helps alleviate costs of player's families for uniforms, travel, tournament entry.

Teams like PSA Cardinals, Rens, Playaz, New Heights, Sports U, Team Rio, Expressions, etc. have a lot of those things along with more prominent histories yet NY Jayhawks are still getting players and keeping them.

Zach B

St. John's assistant Steve Demeo in Greece for the FIBA U19 World Cup. One prime 2020 target, Andre Curbelo, is there, among others.

Curbelo did not mention St. John's when asked about his recruitment by Evan Daniels. Demeo was in Greece last week to see him too.

Don't worry. If he whiffs on the 4-star coach third choice add two 2-stars to even things out.

Or maybe if there’s no bad blood about Mullin being asked to stop coaching, he’d be willing to come back to school and help out with being Chris Mullin because it works great.

Try writing that sentence again except this time put the words in order that might make sense to even an ESL student and also stop mentioning Chris Mullin every post, he's no longer the coach, move on.

You are crazy bastard. You mentioned Steve Lavin 25 times a day after he was fired.

Whatever it takes for his wife to be closer to her family.  That is key. Much respect.

St. John’s also had two coaches at the open gym, and Curbelo has visited the Queens school unofficially.

“Yeah, I’ve been talking to them, too,” he said. “I’m going to talk with Jay about everything single college because St. John’s is in New York, I’ve been playing here, so it could be a good thing.”

Curbelo has no visits planned at the moment, and isn’t sure when he’ll set them up or when he’ll decide.

“I can’t tell you that right now,” he said. “If I did, I’d be lying.”

Saw somewhere he talked about his Latino culture meaning a lot to him. Miami is the capital of Latin America.... going to be really, really tough to beat.

And based on Zag's article, his mom lives in Puerto Rico.  So geography could play a crucial role...

We need to get every influential Latino SJU grads to be in his ear...

Shamorie was rated higher, I believe, and wanted to stay.

Whitehead was very keen on staying home as well, but Lavin wouldn't get into bed with scum and risk potential violations as readily as the man in South Orange looking to make some $$$ instead of being canned.

Before those two I can't remember the next highly-rated guy.  Harkless I guess although he was actually underrated before college.

Mo Harkless originally was going to UCONN

Lavin made a splash by getting local kid to stay home

Think he was a fringe top 50

Right.  Whitehead was a McD AA, I believe.  I think Ponds was in the 30s range consensus, maybe low 40s.

Miami May be the capital of Latin America, but it is overwhelmingly Cuban and Colombian—which are much different culturally. You won’t find many Puerto Ricans in south Florida outside of transplanted New Yorkers. PRs in Florida mostly live around Orlando/Kissimmee.

Also, the Hurricanes have the worst following in high major sports. Some home games make St. John’s v. St. Francis @ CA look like the Final Four.
