New targets?

Former recruit:

VCU guard Samir Doughty is transferring, per release.

Would think LSU is the likely landing spot here

How many scholarships do they have? LSU is now trending for Tremont Waters.

Are we recruiting MiKyle McIntosh?  I know he is visiting Oregon.  Immediately eligible, power forward.

Doesn't seem so, though wish we  were and/or another 240lb guy who can rebound, catch Love's passes, and play defense.

If 2018 is Dixon, Diakite, Keita and Muhammad I'll take it.  I'd love to get Brown, but that seems unrealistic.

Is it possible the staff just forgot to recruit a center?

I forgot to feed my son's gold fish the other day

Possibly Wing Bryan Trimble, 2017 FSU decommit & MOKAN kid like Clark. Not sure why Matt may consider him unless Mussini leaves.

Not necessarily, like a financial firm.  You collect valuable assets when they are available, ask questions later.

BTW Trimble is following Matt now.

And Clark apparently is a fan

For one I bet Mussini would probably leave if we grab a kid like Trimble.  If Mussini is staying, it's more than likely because the staff convinced him to hang around.  Second,  this kid is a legitimate 3+ star guard, that is big and physical.  There's no downside here.  Swap Trimble for Mussini, and you might not have quite the shooting,  but we'd be get a bit more upper level D1 athlete...  it would set us up for the future much better.

Nice. A NYC school building a pipeline with an AAU program in the middle of Missouri. I'm not saying it's a bad thing at all, but somewhat humorous

Why should the staff have to convince this kid to stay at St.John's?

Fwiw Kameron Rooks committed to San Diego St.

Mario Kegler, consensus 4 star recruit last year who started 31 of 32 games for Miss St, just got his release.

As aforementioned contract was offered and I'm sure he'd be thrilled to be paid to play pro in Italy.  We certainly need him more than he needs us...

FSU -. had 13 guys on scholarship including this kid.  When a 4 star committed recently they simply cut Trimble

What does decommit mean? Never signed LOI? Available right away or has to sit out a year?

He was released from LOI and can play next year

He was released from LOI and can play next year

Who was?

Bryan Trimble former FSU recruit noted above

Diakite enrolling early is not 100% but it is a possibility.

Also either with Diakite or another late commit staff is still open to filling 13th scholarship.

Hmm. If the staff is now "not necessarily done" with filling the roster for the upcoming season that means they have to somebody in mind, no?
