I think J'raan Brooks just wanted to lose closer to home thats why he chose USC. These Bigs getting no burn out west could have helped us this year, J'Raan, Jordan Brown, and even look at Adonis Delarosa in the mid west averaging 2.8 ppg and 2.4 rbg for the Illini! Do you think he's jumping anyone in the showers there? I think winning will help all recruiting, they won't say oh Im going to St. John's to be like ponds if we aren't a winning program. What winning player would want to play for Mullin? I have high hopes for this year, but he hasn't won a thing yet....that all changes on December the 29th
