@AdamZagoria
2018 @Hudson_Bball SG @LutherMuhammad is expected to choose between Ohio State and Xavier, per his coach.

I don't think Muhammad likes all the info leaking out:

It's going to ruin his sweet selection show of what school he will pick.

He's gone...

Where do you think Zach got his scoop from?

Baldi?

He wishes. Braziller got his scoop from Matt A, who was told yesterday that Luther wasn't even considering St Johns

Why did he wait until 2 days before committing to tell us he was not even considering us after we spent two years recruiting him? We could have moved on sooner and turned our attention elsewhere.

As we've discussed before, I'm only a few years younger than you.  The first back court I remember well (at a point where I understood the game) was JB and Sprolling.  The EB/Bootsy back court is the best I've seen as a SJU fan.  Lovett/Ponds aren't at that level at this point because of their defensive woes, among other things, but they are IMO the second best I've seen.  When you add a former 5-star recruit in Simon to that mix, I think it is the second best in my fandom.  Disclaimer - I thought Sheed and D-Lo had the potential to be the best, but we all know what happened with Mr. Philadelphia.

"Poached" or not, Lavin lost that job due to his own doing.  Period.  And, like Dink, I was very much a Lavin supporter until his last year.

Disagree that Mullin & staff have done nothing.  They took a step last year.  We have very good talent, especially at the guard/wings, 1-7.  Our back court alone is as talented as it has been since the late 90s.  Ponds was one of the best SJU freshman I can remember; Lovett one of the better first year players I can remember, and we are adding a former 5-star PG from a high major.  That is not "nothing".

Where we agree is that this is a huge year for the program on the court and off.  They need to show marked improvement.

What backcourt from the 90's are we comparing these guys to?

This one stings quite a bit.  Still a lot gonna happen between now and fall though.  Our chances to add. Top 100 kid aren't looking great right now though.

We don't have a shot at any top kids unless we kid ourselves thinking Moses Brown is coming or Bol Bol has been keeping us a secret.

Our recruiting @ high school level in future is problematic if staff keeps spending disproportionate time on highly rated kids who are getting courted by programs in different class either by their wins or their location, facilities, campus etc

I've been saying the same thing. 18 was supposed to be a monster class , we ll  be lucky to get one 4 star recruit.  Look at the studs we are going after in 19. Too much effort w too little return on investment  w the 5 stars at this point. Gotta lower the bar a little.  Luther was worth going after, but we lost out. That's why it's important to cast a wider net w the 4 stars and minimize our pursuit of the 5 stars. Furthermore we only have 1 recruiter.

I hope Dixon and Trimble can carry the load next year, cause that will be our backcourt.

Don't forget Justin Simon.

Where are ponds and lovett going?

Lots of negative stuff being thrown against SJU in this recruitment.

Let's hear it!

Too bad there's no believable rebuttal

Looks like re-upping matt was pretty silly at this point.  Going on two years in a row with minimal impact.

That's a nice backcourt. In the MAAC

Maybe Grasso'll get on them.

Who recruited Ponds, Lovett, Yawke, Ahmed, Wilson, Brown, Owens, Clark, Simon, Keita, Trimble and Roberts? Tony Chiles?
