Terrance Ferguson is in China somewhere
Thon Maker is on the Bucks
Rawle Alkins is on Arizona
Mustapha Heron is on Auburn

but hey we got a year of Durand Johnson.
SLICE BABY

The best recruiting success of Slice was in Pittsburgh. He was able to get the 4 stars players from NY (Shamorie Ponds rated type).
And you are criticizing him because he didn´t get any of the 5 stars players that we were recruiting. Considering that last season we won 1 Big East game that´s a little unfair.

Maybe he shouldn't be criticized for it, but then what did he do here?

Think he got Durand Johnson who was our leading scorer.

On a team that team that won eight games. That's about $50,000 per win.

$50,000 sounds like a familiar number

Matt in Florida making visits and offers.

I missed this one, be better if he was a Yankee fan.  But hey SJU is in Queens, what do I know I went to school in the Bronx.

Florida then Arizona on this swing.  Cheatham in-home yesterday in Phoenix and then an offer for 2018 Phoenix forward KJ Hymes:

Julius Kim‏ @JKimElevate  2h
St. John's was in today to see 6'10" KJ Hymes'18 @HymesKj of @Hillcrest_Hoops, per a source. #sjubb

I think we offered Hymes as early as the summer of last year.

Not the right place for this but I wasn't sure where else to post. Is anyone hearing Mike Ride rumors? Saw a post on the other site and have been hearing about him on this site and in a few other conversations.

You mean Mike Rice?

As I noted in an earlier post I am still hearing a staff addition is in the works and Rice's name is very prominent in that rumor.

Getting Rice in here along with another big will make this a solid off season.

If Rice joins the staff does that block us getting Lewis and Antoine?

Lol yes obviously

Thanks Fordham

Not if he is an assistant coach.

Who would get the credit if Rice is successfully recruited and hired? Without Slice leaving, Rice could not join the team.  How hard as Matt been recruiting him? Did Coach Mullin step in and handle this himself, or would this be a team effort? What is Rice rated? Can he bump our three or four stars player higher?

If Rice joins the staff does that block us getting Lewis and Antoine?

I think the better question is does that help us get them. Obviously won't hurt but I wonder what the impact would be with some of his current players.

Regardless, I still think Rice would be a very good choice as an assistant.  Would bring a lot of coaching to the table, as well as local contacts.

I agree and the price would be right.

Still dont get the Rice thing.

Feel like he's untouchable after his scandal, thats the only thing that comes to mind when I think of him and likely to first thin thats going to come to mind to recruits and for people who don't know what he did that'll be the first thing that shows up on a google search.

I believe he deserves a second chance but why are we the ones taking the risk and the 1st to give it to him?

Shouldn't he be an assistant coach at some small school that won't make a blip on the the national radar? Maybe go be an assistant for Manhattan or Iona for a year or 2 and prove he's a "changed man"   

If the move is solely to be in better shape with the kids he coaches in HS...i dont think its worth the risk of setting our team back again because Mike Rice decided to throw basketball at the players again

Hire Mike Rice
