Darien Williams and Malik Ellison transferring

Trust me I want us to be better, but we are still far away from the Depaul's of the world.    In the past 7 years, we've been to the tourney twice, and the NIT twice.  We've sent a number of guys to the league.  We've beaten plenty of really good teams and received national attention in certain years.  People still give a s*** about St. John's, as evidenced by many of the games I attended last year, including the first BE tourney game.  Hell part of the reason Seton Hall fans have this complex about SJU is because SJU gets more attention having a mediocre season than the Hall does with a good one.

+1. Like Baldi, Iona hasn't won a NCAA Tournament game since 1980. St. John's has had as many Final Fours. 16 more wins. Get that mid major shit out of here. We are a rebuilding team.

You can be a high major program, and not a very good one. As always, we are rebuilding.

+1 exactly what I am saying. We are 100% a high major we just haven't been consistently good in a very long time.

Never understood fascination with status of the program. We are are in a major conference but except for the first few Jarvis years we have basically been a non factor nationally in every way since Louie left. Hopefully next couple years will be an aberration from that.

You guys take Bluto too seriously. As far as fans yes but it does not have to be a delusional fan forum either. We ... We have not been good.
I do think we have a decent shot to make tourney the next two years.So I am looking forward to that. Being a ST John's fan means you need to enjoy the small victories. Like Lovett staying another year and the possibility we might not stink the next two years. Don't know about anyone else but I am pumped!

Foad, you doing ok? Your posts have been lacking the usual fun lately. I've noticed that they have a leash on you over on the other site. Snap out of it son

Deflecting? What would you like me to answer? Surely you won't like my answer, as I have been holding back

Anyone who thinks Ellison's loss will hurt us next year, knows nothing about basketball.

Granted I know little about basketball but I think virtually all transfers hurt.  I feel keeping players in a system for 4 or 4 plus years and continuity are key elements of most schools not named Kentucky and Kansas' success.

We've seen multiple players stink up the joint for 2 or 3 years only to explode as seniors.

Def. not happy MalikIV and Darien left.  Customarily wouldn't be glad about Oedipus leaving early either but his freshmen campaign stunk on levels heretofore yet unseen so I have mixed feelings.

5th year bigs still available that will help us?
