Apology/Congrats

My apologies for lack of editorial content on the site lately. I've been swamped this spring with NCAA changing it's recruiting calendar and prepping for Hoop Group events.

Part of the lack of articles is due to Dan Martin's continued success at NBC Sports. I'm not sure if many of you know this but Dan started out in St. John's radio station and took his first stab at writing for JohnnyJungle.com. He parlayed that into an internship at Hoop Group and then was hired by NBC Sports. He's still a student at St. John's but it looks like he is going to be hired as a national columnist for NBC perhaps sometime this summer. Their web traffic has increased dramatically since his arrival.

If you do know any students interested in writing please have them contact me. dek24@johnnyjungle.com

If you haven't followed him on twitter you should, and let him know what a great job he's doing. @DanielJMartin_

Very nice work on the nbcsports page Dan.   Wonder if he'll be able to translate that into some appearances on the new network if they begin covering college bball.

Thanks Dave for the update nice to see STJ students & alumni  helping out each other in pursing their dreams! Everyone knows it is not what you know it is who you know!

Thanks Dave for the update as I was wondering what was going on but figured everyone was busy with other endeavours including last month.  Dan congrats and keep up the good work.
