Philip Jurick - C - Chattanooga State CC - Chattanooga, TN

I have no idea if we involved...probably not...but we need a big and saw his name out there.  He is a former top 100 that went to Tennessee and redshirted for a year.  He had to leave because TN APR rating went south and he decided they played too up tempo.

I don't think we want a guy who doesn't want to play uptempo basketball.  From what we have seen this year and the type of athletes Lavin has coming in next year, St. John's is and will be an uptempo team.

But we have also seen how the team has gotten pushed around by bigger teams.  I hope he has some beef on the way...probably not this guy because as you said he has a tough time getting up and down the court...but we definitely need some beef
