wait this guy was a johniee
KOB.. no disrepect intended. . but this right here is a perfect example of how some of the younger people that are fans of the program and around the program don't understand or reallt get the frsutration of the older fan base...
McLeod was a huge recruit to SJU at time he came. . coming from St. Anthony... he left after his Freshman year because he was not happy with minutes and his place in the offesne... at the time of his trasnfer he became eithr the only or one of the very few transfers Coach K had ever accepted..
He actually played two years here.
During the year he head to sit out, I spoke with Coach Hurley about it. He basically felt Mahoney was squandering McLeod's potential. He mentioned the tremendous difference in facilities, which had already vastly improved McLeod's body. With two good years down there, he felt Coach K could make him into an NBA player. Despite being a sixth/seventh man for Mahoney's NIT, McLeod went on to be first-team all-ACC and their team captain before getting drafted by the Hawks. He was a finalist for one of their openings this summer.
