When is the Amar news dropping? It's been waiting a week since reputable posters had him out.

Not until new transfers come in. If all fails he's still on board. Heck maybe even Ellison comes back.
Thanks for the doomsday scenario David.

6'10" and 240 out of Arizona. Even has the small drug  hiccup on his resume. Perfect for us.

Yes. All the blue bloods kind of mesh into one program for me.

My guess, 2 big men (1 new recruit, 1 grad transfer) and 2 guards (more than likely 2 transfers-Mikey Dixon perhaps being 1 of the two).

If we're aggressive and we've got a chance with some solid recruits/transfers, I'll take it, even if it was Will Wade/VCU coaching philosophy first

The critical need is an immediately eligible big man.  One of the guys I wish would commit to SJU is Kaneron Rooks (Cal).  3* out of high school, Immediately eligible.  7'1"  during the  2016-17 season, Kameron averaged 4.9 pts and 4.5 Reb.  Not sure why he only averaged 17.1 minutes per game.  He did miss 10 +/- games.  Perhaps the presence of Ivan Rabb?  Mark Donnal 6'9" and 240 lbs, also immediately eligible .  Mark averaged 3.9 ppg and 2.0 rpg in 12.2 min. 

Unfortunately, I think SJU is more likely to get a commitment from an immediately eligible player like Ahmed Hamdy Mohamed (VCU) or Sean Obi (Duke).

A healthy Sean Obi is head and shoulders above the rest of the guys you listed. He averaged nearly a double-double as a frosh at Rice. I think he'd be a good complement to Owens and could play some four as well.

A major problem last year was getting abused inside by [much] stronger players. Williams was the one guy that could body up, and he transferred.

 LIU grad transfer Nura Zanna has committed to Houston, per a source. Immediately eligible for next season. Averaged 9.2 PPG and 8.2 RPG.


Have to hope we have our bigs lined up. This kid ate us up at Barclays, would've been a solid pickup imo.

I thought Zanna would be a good pickup, but maybe they have a better idea? We were never linked to him as far as I know. And in fairness to his performance against us, Deleware State and ODU did it as well. At that time in the season, our front court was Swiss cheese in every game.

I don't think he was the complete answer up front, but he could definitely have been a part
of it. I'll be very unhappy if we don't get a grad transfer at least as good, because you'd have to imagine he would have signed with us in a heartbeat over Houston.

I just saw that and his father is an assistant there.  Strange, something must be going on either with his father at MSU or between him and his father.

Request denied.  Again strange, his father is an assistant for Howland.

Illinois confirms that releases have been granted to ESPN 100 center Jeremiah Tilmon and four-star guard Javon Pickett.
