Freudenberg headed overseas

Zach Braziller @NYPost_Brazille
St. John's wing Richard Freudenberg will go pro and head back overseas, per source. Did little freshman year. #sjubb

You gotta be kidding me.

So we now have 4 available scholarships for the upcoming season and possibly 5 if Amar leaves

So how many scholarships do we have?

How many 5th year guys do we now need?

Not a huge lose.  Didn't play well at all last year.  Think he is easily replaceable.

How many 5th year guys do we now need?

Yes, we will have trouble replacing all of his production this past season......
Being serious though this has zero effect on next season maybe he could have been a decent player down the road but he was brutal last year.

This loss won't change much if any for this upcoming season but it is disappointing that we are giving up on a consensus 4 star recruit that everybody knew would take some time to adjust to the American game after just one season

I hope this was suspected in Matt's plans and this better not mean that Amar is staying. I'm not upset by this at all, he couldn't cut it here bottom line.

These kids do t improve throughout the year. Most important addition this year is an assistant coach who knows what he is doing

I was hoping that he'd stay and that Mullin could turn him into a player. Maybe they wanted to redshirt him or maybe he got the feeling that he wasn't going to play.

We need wings in addition to big men now.

Isn't a Revolving Door a euphemism for what Grady Reynolds paid for during that fateful night in Pittsburgh?

Yeah this is not something to just gloss over.  Coach was gushing about this kid when he signed.  He saw the potential.  Less than 12 months later, here we are.

Not a substantial loss at all. Now we need to add two bigs. Need to scour mid majors, overlooked '17 recruits, and overseas for help.

I don't think it means anything moving forward.  He didn't even show flashes that he could hang at this level, except against Baruch.  If we land Kante and Yetna, swapping for the loss of Darien and Freudenberg, I think it's easily a net win and not even close.  We need guys that can compete in Big East frontcourt.  Darien was decent at times, but oft injured and I don't think we'd miss it if we land others that can do the same, with greater potential.

People can't really be upset that we are losing our 9th-13th guys.  We have a lot to improve on from last season.  The key is adding better talent...

Wait till June when we may have 13 schollies to give out.

Out of curiosity why single him out when there were 6 guys or whatever?

And I don't know the urban dictionary lingo but you might be right.

Only because I thought he was the guy who specifically stiffed the hooker for her payment (pun intended).

I could be wrong though.   Memories!
