scottie.23 just received an offer from Duke! Chatting with Coach K moments ago. @ Desert Oasis… https://www.instagram.com/p/BXEkuRQAh_W/

Duke has now officially offered both Lewis and Antoine.

Success on the court next year is critical.

Beating Duke at the Garden in front of a raucous crowd can't hurt either.  I'm hoping we are on the right trajectory where these kids feel that staying home is also
An excellent option...

This year is huge. If we struggle again may set us back despite the best recruiting efforts of the staff. I think we will be much improved this year, we will see.

This year is definitely huge....  On and off the court (ie, recruiting).  Even if we have a good season, I still believe it's gonna be tough to ward off the Duke's and Kentucky's of the world when it comes to kids like Lewis and Antoine.  It'll have to be a unique situation to land those kinda kids, even if we end up having a solid season.

Consistently, solid seasons and a bit of luck with a deep run into the tournament this season or next, then we could be a viable option for a few kids of Lewis' ilk.  I know the staff is working diligently and hard, but the majority of staffs around the country are also working hard.  So, again, it'll have to be a unique situation at this juncture or we're gonna have to start winning and winning consistently.  That's the card that'll catapult you over the top when it's all said and done. 

Regardless, it all starts this season, IMO.

Per @teamrionational Director Brian Klatsky, there's an 80% likelihood that 2019 5⭐️s Bryan Antoine & Scottie will attend college together.

That would mean we would essentially be out of the mix since it has sounded like Antoine has not shown much interest in coming here

A quote, per the Q&A....

There has been a rumor that Coach Rice might be joining one of the coaching staffs. If he were, how might that affect you?

As far as my recruiting goes? A lot. I have a great connection with him. If I had a different coach my freshman year or sophomore year, I wouldn’t have been as successful. He pushed me.

Kid gets it, has the complete package on and off the court. A face of the program type recruit.

Cmon man. This guy isn't coming

Yet we keep expecting a different ending. I guess it is the optimism in us an the desire for St. John's to be great again. Oops, hope I didn't get political. I'm for taking politics out of sports. they are supposed to be for entertainment and enjoyment. There is a time and place for everything.
