FYI==anyone who saw Chris play at St. John's will remember that his family was always at the games.  It was interesting that God was on our side as Sister Mary Terrance, his aunt,  and some other Josephites were prominently in attendance.  The Mullin family was extremely close.  Last week Sister Mary Terrance passed away which could explain Mullin being MIA.  While recruiting is extremely important, family does come first..

Just proves my point even further about there being ZERO people who are "insiders" that post here but hey...  everyone knows everything on this board

This isn’t true at all.  There are several people who have plenty of inside info.  I’m not one of them,  but there certainly are...

It is true that Coach Mullin lost his aunt, Sister MarY Terrance (notice who his brother was named after)

I was going to say no there aren't, but several means "more than two but not many." Which is exactly correct. I've been reading these boards for 10 years and have in that time run across exactly two people who've had access to inside information and at least one doesn't have access anymore. Nearly everyone else is a sad desperate for attention wank and FOS.

Foad - we recruiting David Hogg? lol

Sorry, if I revealed more it'd be dangerous for my sources. Watch my avatar for aguevay uesclay.

It is true, but she passed a month ago (condolences to Mullin and his family).  I already knew why one coach wasn't present during the weekend, but the other two not being present are for other "reasons," based on what I was told.

Once again, PMG, if you think not one person has legit info to what is going on then you're wrong.  As, I mentioned on the other board....  There's AT LEAST one person who has insight to what goes on within a football or basketball program at any given school.  Take that to the bank!

Marley Paul‏ @MarleyPaul22

In Indianapolis, St. John’s assistant @gstjean10 watched top targets Jalen Gaffney, Scottie Lewis, Aidan Igiehon, Precious Achiuwa @ UAA then Nike guys Kofi Cockburn, Nate Tabor, Posh Alexander, Jalen Hill today. #sjubb

Seems like Gsj has really been putting in a lot of effort chasing high rated hs prospects lately.  Had never really heard of him doing much recruiting in previous years.  Hopefully his hard work pays dividends.

It won’t.  He’s not a recruiter.  There are guys who do this.  If we lose Abdelmassih, our entire team recruiting would be utterly decimated.  Head coach won’t go on recruiting trips, Mitch just collecting paychecks.   Despite us landing some decent talent it is ALL Matt.  Outside of Matt we have zero connections to anybody on the recruiting trail.   This staff is extremely flawed right now, and we are teetering with how imbalanced our staff is.

While I agree with most of what you said my comment was in regards to HS prospects.  While I'm pleased with some of the transfer talent Matt has brought in I would argue we haven't brought in any hs players this cycle that move the needle for me.

Williams is a good prospect, Ponds of course needs not be commented on.  Sid was good but he submarines us.  How much time can Matt alone spend on all the high school prospects when he’s filled multiple rosters already with transfers etc.. by himself?  We need more sharks on the recruiting trail making connections and less guys with zero experience both coaching and recruiting.    We are extremely flawed and missing staff that hustles.  Like I said, outside of Matt, the rest of the staff would never make a recruiting trip if they had the choice about it, and none have any recruiting  connections.  This is getting ridiculous already..  a staff shouldn’t be built so if one recruiter leaves, not a single other person would have a clue what to do...

I said this recruiting cycle but you do bring up a good point that really outside of ponds I'm not thrilled by any of the hs players this staff has brought on.  Williams may be a good prospect but fact of the matter is all the services have him as a three star so that's not going to get my blood pumping especially considering this staff should've been recruiting like their jobs depended on it.  As far as your comment about not having another recruiter and no one knowing what they're doing outside of Matt,  that's the route we chose to take when we exiled slice.

Yes, but teams that wanna compete hire somebody else, and don’t just not hire somebody to replace their assistant head coach.   I don’t disagree we should be recruiting better high school players.  I’m just saying that if you look at the reason we probably are not is because we have one guy doing all the recruiting just to fill a revolving door to fill a roster, and it’s with some very good talent mind you. 

This is what Matt wanted, does not play well with other staff members. He has his hands all over the mess that is this program. Yet, he still gets a pass here

Are you saying our coach is not allowed to recruit as per Matt?

Um that's a no

Wow, staff working before July....

BTW normally staff cannot be on the road evaluating prior to July 3 live with periods.  However U18 Championships are an exception.
