Looks like he is heading to NYC. We'll see why.
-
visit?
-
I guess this is what was meant when it was mentioned yesterday that the staff is not necessarily done and still open to filling that 13th scholarship
-
Odd only NE school to offer him was Providence.
-
Decommitted from Florida State. 6-3 shooting guard. NR. I just looked it up.

I thought I read he was 3 star.

Another MOKAN kid, FWIW
-
3 stars on Rivals.

Have heard staff really likes Trimble. Will be interesting to see how this evolves.

I see why, big bodied SG who can play above rim and also has a nice shot.

Tapes look real good. Only reason I can think of as to why he is not a 4 star is maybe think he is a tad slow or maybe his stats weren't great but he looks good to me.

I can't figure it out either. He doesn't really seem slow either. Really has ups as well. Prides himself on defense per his interview. He's a bull. Regardless I think he'd be a welcome addition. We will be losing some excellent guards over next year or two. Trimble seems talented. Big enough to guard bigger guards helps.
-
It's nice that he may have interest, but why in the world are we adding another guard when we still need big men? If this is to replace Mussini if he leaves, ok then, but why aren't they addressing real weaknesses? Especially our most glaring one.

Serious question....At this point, are their any legit options we have a remote shot at either unsigned HS, JUCO or grad transfer ?

It looks like he really needs to tighten up his ball handling. Do you give him a 4 year scholarship to him or wait until 2018 to fill it with a elite prospect? How much better is he than Holifield never mind Moose, who was at today's golf outing and doesn't look like he's going anywhere.
-
We also may lose several guards over next year including Mussini, Lovett for sure. Maybe even Ponds. If there's a very good guard out there right now, then it IS a big need to prevent us from being all freshmen backcourt after a year. We have Owens, Alibegovic, Yakwe and even maybe Clark at times. I remember us doing pretty well in the last wig only 6'5" Anthony Glover at center. I'd love a big guy too, but we have a deep team as is and better to make sure our future is set for next few years.

So he was good enough for FSU (who has been a much better program than us recently) until they got a late commitment from a 5 star at the same position but he is not good enough for us? And you compare him to a walk-on. Don't recall Holyfield soaring for put back dunks or being recruited at the ACC level. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush unless Luther M wants to commit now (and he might still be a take as we could lose LoVett, Moose and maybe even Ponds after next season.

Exactly. Don't want to be scrambling in 18. We are not Duke , so don't expect us to have a roster of all 4 and 5 star recruits w no room for a 3 star recruit. Have to count on both Mussini and Lovett leaving.

We haven't been hearing names.

Watched a few of his games. He's very athletic and can guard the 1, 2 or 3 position. Good free throw shooter, good form on his shot, very good slasher and can shoot from deep. Not a creator of offense for himself or for others, but makes good passes to put others in position to create. Pretty much a very good role player, with potential to grow. Gets after it on defense, from what I've seen.
-
Looks like a promising role player that would be a great fit at DePaul.
-
Are you an expert on who would be a good fit for DePaul?
-
Are you saying he would not be a good fit here? FSU, Ok State, SMU, Providence, Georgia - Those are pretty good offers for a role player at Depaul

Sorry, meant to quote Poison...
He had committed to Florida State who finished 2nd in the ACC this year ahead of Duke, Virginia, Norte Dame, Louisville etc. FSU was 25-6 regular season and a second round NCAA tourney team. How is he a role-player, DePaul recruit if he was just recently signed to a top tier ACC team?? That's just silly.
There are lots of role player guards out there. Our staff wouldn't have jumped all over this kid after his de-commit if they felt he was just a role-player..

I agree with you i would take this kid in a heartbeat....I guess i should not be shocked by Poisons comments as every recruit we get there some issue he has with it.
-
I think the words "role player" are taken the wrong way here. What I mean by that is that he is a very good complimentary player. He's someone who doesn't take bad shots, plays defense, moves the ball and moves himself. Clear role here with our scorers and facilitators and a perfect small ball 3.

It's not how you used the term. Poison's intent was clearly different.

If you read my viewpoint on his game, I think the one negative I pointed out on him was his ability to handle the ball to be a shot creator. I might have used the wrong phrase or words, but I certainly did not intend to say that he is not a high caliber player.
Poison's intent was probably as such though.

So he is a 2017 eligible, replace Mussini recruit. Correct ? - barring any academic problems. Then go ahead and sign him.

Really? What recruits would that be?

Baldi is right quite often. Take off the blinders. We should have had a roster loaded with upperclassmen. Now? We've got Ahmed, Alibegovic and Yakwe. Two out of three are the most clueless players in the conference. That's put a ton on Ahmed's shoulders.

Sent you a pm

Trimble is at the Garden with the team. Hopefully thats the nail in the coffin.
Im more excited about this kid than Keita. Im a sucker for athletic combo guards. I think he can really make an impact.

A little like that kid Beasley we recruited who went to FSU in physical respect. Going back a long way John Williamson of Old Nets comes to mind. Obviously those two made the League, so I better stop the comparison. :

I'm realistic. Mullin became a coach so late in the game his first year, plus Lavin left the cupboard bare. Couldn't expect much recruiting wise first year. Building a program takes time. I'm not saying we will be a perennial top 25 team. I hope so. Hard to recruit for a losing program .Also so many kids leave w the current college BB landscape. We will see, but, like the direction we are heading. hopefully w each year, our level of recruits will increase. It will be interesting to see how we do w the 18 class. Meanwhile, have to get a replacement for Mussini. Will also Have Clark and Owens as redshirt upperclassmen
-
I have no idea what type of talent Trimble is. If Marvin Clark and the staff like him, that is fine by me. And judging by the competition for his initial commit, others agree that the kid is a nice prospect.

From an outstanding AAU program too, where he got to practice with a number of elite kids.

Haha! Yeah, you better be careful with the comparisons (although, you were only speaking from a physical aspect and not overall skill), as we know how that could end up (and how I feel about it).
By the way, I remember Williamson at the tail end of his career. He was called, "Soup," right? His son (Maurice Williamson) played for LSU back in the late 80's-early 90's.
-
CM and staff have essentially turned the roster over in two years, not necessarily a bad thing since their first team went 1 and 17 in conference.
Would have enjoyed Mussini in the role of designated shooter off the bench, but you can's blame him for fulfilling his professional aspirations back home instead of opting to be 4th guard here. If Trimble signs on, we have our 4th guard, but can't expect a freshman to give us Mussini's numbers. Still, he looks to be a BE body with BE athleticism and would be a welcome addition.
This roster is light years better than the one CM coached in his first year and should be significantly better than last year's improved squad. You get better by adding better players as well as by improving returning talent. LoVett and Ponds will be sophomores with a full year of BE play under their belts, Simon and Clark are legit and talented additions, Ahmed has had a year to figure out that what worked in JUCO doesn't work as well here, and Owens appears to be coming into his own as a versatile, athletic big. If Yakwe can start the year an improved player and Wilson can contribute with his athleticism, this team can have a very good year.

This could also be a good situation for Trimble, as he could come in and also practice against--and with--a top 2 or 3 conference backcourt. He also won't be asked to do much and could possibly be a nice complement to our already existing backcourt.

So where does this leave us for Luther Muhammad? Assuming Lovett leaves after this season, and if this kid commits, we'd have Ponds, Simon, Dixon and now Trimble. Wouldn't that be a fit crowded to offer playing time to Muhammad?

Zach says Moose was universally liked. Should have added except by Foad, Fun, and we are sju. :) That said I''l take the trade for Trimble.
-
Would love to see Bryan sign and come to second summer school session. get a jump on things and get to know teammates.
As to Luther--hopefully Chris's connection to the Alesi family brings some fruit as Chris Alesi is Ren's coach and fellow Xaverian HOFer like Mullin.

Only reason I'm happy he's gone is now when I see my name on the forums I know it's about me and only me.

Why am I kidding? Recruits like immediate playing time offered. Not saying Luther wouldn't immediately start if he came here, but it gets sticky. Especially because you're now looking to sign players who you're already looking to recruit over?

So by that logic we should have no players so every freshman can come in and player major minutes. That's not how you build a winning program. If Luther doesn't want to have to fight against lesser players for his minutes then that's on him not the staff.

Bottom line is a Bryan Trimble commitment will have no impact on Muhammad's recruitment to SJU.

No, that's not what I'm getting at. There are always going to be freshman who start and get plenty of minutes. I'm just pointing to the fact that we'd be getting crowded at the guard position, and he may not want to have to deal with that. I'm also pointing out the fact that we're recruiting players who we're already recruiting over for next year. I know we have a need for this year, but not sure how this will all play out.

You can't stop recruiting because you think we might get Luther. So we don't take Trimble and then we don't land Luther, then we are out two players. If a top 50 player doesn't want to fight for minutes against a 3 star guy then there is a problem there.
-
This kid could fit in well, I like 2 small guards and 2 strong guards as a concept. He will not play too much unless there is an injury but the insurance is important.

I understand your point. It's not a bad point at all. If a backcourt looks really crowded, a kid may go elsewhere. We're not a program that gets top point guards who are willing to sit and wait their turn.
-
He's in.
-
He's in.
Good late pickup. Some might say we picked up FSU's scraps (recruiting is a dirty game). Flip side is that he is a good outside shooter and athlete that was offered by other major conference schools prior to signing with FSU.
-
He's in.
Credit to Moose for being upfront on his intentions which let us act quickly. Instant chemistry with vocal leader Marv should expedite things. Much needed security blanket for this year's success. If he can give us 5-15 mpg as Marcus, Shamorie and JSimon rest all while developing I'm all for this. Hopefully he's here for Summer Session II with the rest of the team. Additional credit to the staff who have been working their tail's off to make this team ultimately BETTER with each of these UPGRADES.

Reminds me of quincy roberts
I do not see that. Quincy was taller and skinnier. This kid seems more similar to the pair of Creighton guards, especially Marcus Foster. I just hope he's not a poor man's version. I'm pleased we added some guard depth and a 200-pounder at that. Hopefully the strength and conditioning staff won't drop the ball with him and he'll be 215 by next year.

Could be a solid pickup
This is the type of kid that goes to PC then kills us for 4 years
-
We certainly seem to have our recruiting mojo back with 4 commits in last 2 months with 3 being recent. Like this late pick-up, very fortuitous for us and a thank you to Matt of whom I read was on this kid for two years.

Former Florida State commit Bryan Trimble has committed to St. John's, per a source. #SJUBB
Could be a solid pickup
This is the type of kid that goes to PC then kills us for 4 years
Agree. I think Paultzman alluded to some eligibility concerns so let's hope everything goes well there and he can play from day 1.
If we look at this through the lens of a Trimble for Mussini one for one trade which is likely what this is assuming Trimble wouldn't have come here had Mussini stayed, I don't think it's all that bad of a trade for us. Mussini pretty much only offered us spot up shooting while this kid will give us a bigger guard than can guard 1s or 2s which I think is more of what this team will need coming off the bench this year. If we don't greatly improve our defense from last year to this year then the NIT is the absolute ceiling.

Really nice get and if things can work out Diakite may get that 13th scholarship this year.
Really nice recruiting kick to end the year.

Not according to Paultzman on RM.com. Want to rethink your comment or provide some support for it ?
I'll go with Paultzman on this. He may be in....but there's no wiggle room in this post.

Good news. But based on the limited tape available online, I wouldn't expect this kid to make a big impact this season.
And he's not that big. Bigger than Mussini, sure. But he's 6'3...not 6'6. Nice that he has some meat on him though and plays defense. That will help.

So would it be fair to say you are luke warm about the whole Trimble to St. John's situation. ;)

Now hopefully we hear that he is registered for second summer school semester. As to who he reminds one of--how about a 6'3" NYC guard named Jap Trimble. ;).

More than luke warm. Just not expecting too much right away.
Obviously Wilson is a much more polished player, and I even expect him to struggle initially.
Luckily, we should have about 7 deep that should carry most of the load. The freshmen won't need to do too much.

You have to wonder - or I do - whether the fact that they were recruiting Trimble led Missini to leave, rather than vice versa.

I seriously doubt that as the Mussini rumblings have been going on for a few weeks now well before Trimble even announced his decommit from FSU.
-
The 3rd option is that both were happening at the same time. Mussini figured he was good enough to become a professional, and Trimble was probably told that we may have a spot for you but it's contingent on having a new ship available.
All of this may end up making us more well rounded (although less experienced) because Trimble really does look like a big strong guard who can do a lot of things well. If eligibility is possible, he has to make that happen. That's a train I'm sick of riding.
-
One thing I will say is I like how calculated some of these moves in recruiting look.
I feel like its more than a coincidence that several of the players we landed have been keys to getting other guys committed.
Dixon's connection to Keita
Marv's connection to Trimble
Feel like I'm missing one but it makes me feel good that it seems that every move Matt makes seems to pay dividends down the road away from the court.

What is it from what you've seen that makes you think Trimble needs time? He looks pretty ready to me. Seems to shoot it well, run well, play d, attack the basket and finish.

I agree, I don't see it either. Big, strong, athletic and shoots well. Shot a whopping 45.5% from 3 PT land as a senior. Finishes with both hands. As I pointed out prior, he also signed with a top 2 ACC team and was recruited by plenty of schools that have been better than us. If he can really play defense, he will certainly have a role right away.

Not that big ? I never saw him listed as 6'6" but he is every bit of 6'3"- 200 which sure beats 5'10" - 165.

He has a role right away regardless. This team will have to play Ahmed at the 4. If Trimble is eligible, he's the first guard off the bench. He's the only guard off the bench other than Holifield.
I mentioned Holifield as a pipe dream but should anything go wrong with Trimble's eligibility or really, any of our guard's health, he'll have to play. I'm curious to see what a guard looks like after two years of practice in Mullin's system. Holifield is the only path to that answer.

We still have Simon who can and will play the guard spots at times. Holified won't be used much regardless I don't think. Agree thought that Trimble will play early and often if he's eligible.

Going into the season with 10 players is dangerously light. That's all I'm saying. Unfortunately, a grad degree from St.John's that doesn't come with serious playing time isn't all that exciting to too many players.

More likely senario is you ran Mussini out of town the same way Dick Young ran Tom Seaver out of town.

I am still puzzled how we couldn't find a grad big man, but this commitment officially takes me out of panic mode unless he doesn't qualify or show up.
Realistically, this kid is probably going to transfer in the next year or two, but there are some intriguing aspects to him as a late pickup. His 3-pt FG% and the description of him as a shooter by his coach are very promising. I don't see it to be honest looking at his form. He squares up very well and has good feet, but he doesn't appear to have the stroke of a kid that shoots that high of a % from three. Some kids can just make shots, though. The weight and athletic ability are nice as well. He doesn't appear to have the best handle, but if he did he'd probably be ranked much higher. He doesn't look 6'3 to me...my guess would be 6'1 and change. He seems to have the tools to be a shutdown defender if he had the work ethic and mindset. If he can D up, that will change his completely change his trajectory here.

It's a fourth guard...that's huge. If he can play 8 mpg it's a huge deal. He also has some upside. We have our stars, we just need quality depth.

All we need from him is; to give valuable back up minutes, to improve steadily, and to qualify.

Who started the rumor about his eligibility.
Why In the world would the staff go after a 3 star kid who has concerns over eligibility.
Usually you take risks on higher ranked players.
And I looked at his high school. He attended 1 hs unlike the 3 or 4 Lovett attended and no shady prep schools like OSNA.
I think he will be fine.
-
Was he considered questionable for eligibility while committed to FSU ?

That's nice to hear. Thank you for sharing.

By all accounts he looks like a really nice player. Perfect size for a pg imo. I personally dont put much stock in the fact that hes a "3 star" guy. Jordan was a 5 star guy and both Ponds and Lovett were 4 star guys and had better years than Jordan ever had. Granted Jordan went to a vet team so he didnt have to do as much, but he wasnt nearly as efficient as either player. Our future looks very bright and i feel like we have a great shot at making the tournament this yr.

He looks like he's a straight up shooting guard. Not a point guard at all. I didn't see him make one play for another player in the videos I've watched. Not saying he can't. That's actually ok to a degree. We have 3 guys who can run the offense. If Trimble just scores, that's ok. He can give us an offensive a burst off the bench, and hopefully be tough on d.

Poison, or anyone else, any word on his defense? At least show good fundamentals; footwork, staying between the basket and his man, etc? Does he box out? Thanks.

Thought i read he was a pg but i guess i was wrong

I think at this point he is a point center with forward and guard skills.

I don't know anything about is eligibility status. But, the staff might take a chance on a 3 star kid when your 4 th guard just left the program and it is the middle of June. If he doesn't qualify, they are no worse off .
Fwiw, just heard staff feels he is fine academically.
we haven't heard that one billion times

Really looking forward to watching Bryan's addition to the program. The lone freshman on the roster attending this weekend's BigEast freshmen orientation at the Garden this wknd . Looks to be a leader on the floor, great basketball instincts, can fill it up with range, elusive, athletic and tough around the glass for a SG.

Have heard he's looked very good but when the team has one freshman they are probably going to run with the narrative of him being a huge impact player. Hope he is as good as advertised bc we will need him to play this year and play well.
-
He may need to play some, but as long as he is decent and has a few moments that should be fine. If the core 8 guys are generally good we should be good.
-
He's going to be one of the first couple guys off the bench every game so he's going to need to contribute. I think it's a good role for him. He doesn't have to carry the team by any means he can just be a small piece and can get comfortable in what should be a larger role next year with Bash and Marcus gone (most likely).

Bryan Trimble, St. John’s: Former Florida State commit scores 10-12 points just by getting out of bed in the morning and could wind up as a valuable reserve for Chris Mullin. Don’t be shocked if Trimble has the same type of long term impact on the Red Storm program that current sophomore Myles Powell is projected to have at Seton Hall.

Really interesting comparison
The comparison feels forced to me due to their similar builds. Powell's shot is more true and he's clearly more skilled and shifty. If I'm going to force a cmmparison on size, I'd prefer to go with one of Creighton's 6'3 guards.

Does he transfer

People are underestimating Trimble. Thought he played some solid minutes and showed potential to develop into a bright spot in the future. Hopefully he takes this offseason personal and comes back in better shape with a chip on his shoulder.

I Iike him too... he can really shoot but must get in shape and improve confidence. He’s gonna be a shooter off the bench for us, but simply must come with more confidence and in better shape/going after it more...

Agreed, and I think continuity is important for the program.
That said, if we can get Burke and it requires some roster management...

Don't think it would be Trimble that gets nudged out

Correct
-
Trimble is a great reserve. His turnover rate was insanely good, he has a go-to skill (shooting) that is very good and will only get better, and he has some upside with better conditioning, skill development, and experience.
-
Hope I am wrong but I just don't see how Diakate offers anything.

Agree

I'm someone who's been saying people should patient for Trimble, so I am actually happy to hear he wouldn't be the one to go. It's a shame about Diakate that the injury was that severe. He seems to be a long-term investment, but sit-out transfers are as well and are much less of a gamble.

It is #$%^ing insane that one of our coaches had to go on Twitter and tell "fans" to stop tweeting @ Bryan telling him to transfer. #$%^ing lunatics.

Worst fans in the country.
-
wtf
-
Thats #$%^in terrible on so many levels. No wonder we lost a kid like brooks and Wilson. This 'fan' should be banned
-
Worst and dumbest fans in the country. The attacks on players and coaching staff disgust me.
-
The loser fan base must have something to do with no one wanting to come here.
-
With his excellent outside shot and low TO rate he could develop into a nice player, better than everyone expects. If he loses some weight his upside is large. Ball never stops with him, great decision maker.

Same fans that were kissing Renard Owens ass all over the platform and said Tariq was a better NBA prospect than Shamorie. Wouldn't expect anything more from them. Reality is these players are aware of the Twitter hashtag and read it. Cant wait til Trimble proves them wrong.
-
In shape Trimble can be effective. I thought he played reasonably well for a freshman, but here we expected him to be a difference maker day one. If not in shape, he will get played over and transfer. I am sure he sees the competition. Let’s see if he rises to the challenge.
-
Where is the tweet exchange?
-
I'm not on Twitter, but none of this surprises me. Platforms like that encourage this type of nonsense, and trust me our fan base isn't alone (I'd say probably every major hoops team has these issues).
Good for Matt for responding how we did.
