This was a ridiculously short segment, but the potential positive was that Biancardi, who very likely communicated w/ his former ESPN colleague Lavin, talked about the program having a strong shot at Sampson, Thorpe, Pelle, and Harris.

Was a real quick segment but did look like those guys were ours the way he talked about it.

Exactly.
If the staff lands all of those kids, it's a consensus top ten class, it'll help get the ball rolling in 2012, and, over the next couple of years, move this program potentially into the top quadrant of the Big East & top 25 in the country.

Considering we had not landed a top 100 kid in four years, this is a breath of fresh air.

Man I am getting excited!  It is a great time to be a Johnnies fan.  It is not only nice to see our name with all these big name guys but also know that we have a legit chance with Lavin at the helm.  Hopefully the commitment of Harkless really does open the flood gates.

it really should...this is basketball after all, and college basketball to boot...5 players on the floor, 8 or so in a rotation...you only need 3 stars and some good role players for a great team at this level...so having harkless in place should be the biggest bargaining chip lavin has had to date to recruit other top talent

Harkless is a great pick up for the program. But slow down SJU fans. A star he is not. At least not yet. He is a good piece to the puzzle. We always put such expectations on these recruits. Few months ago we were going crazy that Ron Roberts was a pro and we let him go. Come on. Be cautiously optimistic guys and gals. On the upswing, absolutely.

A star he is not? How do you know that?

Lavin just added two top 100 kids in his first summer on the job.

Amd for the record, excitement is just what the doctor ordered. We've been invisible for a decade.

I know that because I've seen him play for the last 3.5 years. He has improved dramatically over the last few years and he will continue to. But he is not an impact freshman. He will be a solid contributor when he come in because he absolutely will play. But Lebryan Nash , Gilchrist he is not. Those dudes are impact freshman. Not downplaying this kid at all, he's good. But we have to be realistic with expectations. which is hard because this is NY. All and all we have every right to be excited about the future.

Honestly, I think he'll be a lot of what the fans expect.  Because the fans aren't expecting Gilchrist, or any of the other guys who can drag their team to the NCAA Tournament as freshmen.  We're expecting the kind of competitive that didn't happen when Norm's last big group of freshmen came on board.  That team was historically bad at scoring, and weren't that great at defending.

There is some footage on youtube of the Gauchos playing Arkansas (I think Ky Madden's team).  The court is LOADED with talent (Omar Calhoun, Madden, etc), but #1 stands out to me as the best player on the court.  The comments underneath say that #1 is Maurice Harkless.  Can anyone confirm?

http://www.courtcred.com/section-blog/40-highlights/2185-gill-harkless-and-edwards-shine-at-is8.html

Maurice Harkless, Variety Boys & Girls Club: It's no secret that this Class of 2011 6'8" SF who will be attending South Kent (CT) this upcoming season is one of the best players in NYC. Maurice Harkless, who's committed to St. John's, has showed in numerous tournaments this AAU season how much of an inside-outside threat he his. Harkless hits the outside jumper with ease all the way out to the 3-point line and also is athletically gifted, which he showed at I.S. 8 with a posterizing dunk on a 6'10" Rhode Island defender. His 30 point effort was nothing a usual Maurice Harkless performance.
