Schools are prohibited from contacting a player after a verbal or LOI. Technically St. John's doesn't have to grant him a release if Norm is let go.

They can't contact him, but I'm sure indicators of interest have been put out to people around him - e.g., his AAU coach, his high school coach, etc.

And they shouldn't grant him a release.
Thems the brakes. You still get to go to college for free,
and the good news is now you'll be coached by someone better than Roberts because there is no one worse.

Sources close to the St. Peter’s program said several Big East and ACC schools continued to call with inquiries about Roberts even though he has signed with St. John’s.

Roberts would have to be let out of his Letter of Intent to transfer. If there is a coaching change, the administration could opt to let him leave.

it's only fair to grant him a release.  if we get a top tier coach, he may want to stay.

btw, who's the snake making the inquiries???calgoon?

When it comes to Norm moving on, there isn't a senior in the country whose LOI I wouldn't sacrifice. If Roberts decides the next coach isn't worth playing for, shake his hand and let him walk. But make him come to campus and spend the day with the new guy first.

I don't agree. No one us telling him that now he has to pay his way. The kid will not only still be allowed to come here, but now he'll have a much better coach to learn from.

He can't leave, and he won't want to either. It's a perfect situation. Play a bit as a frosh, star as a soph. A lot of kids are attracted to that.

granting him a release would be the right thing to do.

See latest on Ron, 16 points, in big win against Seton Hall Prep. Note great game by Sterling Gibbs of SH as well.

Loked Monasch reference to Ron in his coaching change commentary. Make keeping this kid a priority. Kids usually get over initial reaction if reached out to. Better still, hire his AAU coach. Only kidding!

I think that would be a loophole. The kid already committed so if we hired his AAU coach I don't think that would be breaking any rules.

Did you want the next coach to hire Jimmy Salmon as an assistant?

BTW, HoopScoop/Ron Naclerio put Ron Roberts on the fourth-team All-NYC Metro team yesterday, along with Michael Taylor, Biruta, Jevon Thomas, and Jeff Short.

I was just putting the ramifications of that not my own personal feelings.
