Who started the rumor about his eligibility.
Why In the world would the staff go after a 3 star kid who has concerns over eligibility.

Usually you take risks on higher ranked players.

And I looked at his high school. He attended 1 hs unlike the 3 or 4 Lovett attended and no shady prep schools like OSNA.

I think he will be fine.

Yes, why ever would a St.John's staff do something like this?

I don't know anything about is eligibility status. But, the staff might take a chance on a 3 star kid when your 4 th guard just left the program and it is the middle of June. If he doesn't qualify, they are no worse off .

Fwiw, just heard staff feels he is fine academically.

As most know, to take official visits you need to have your core scores. Getting through the clearing house is a whole other story.

That's nice to hear. Thank you for sharing.

By all accounts he looks like a really nice player. Perfect size for a pg imo. I personally dont put much stock in the fact that hes a "3 star" guy. Jordan was a 5 star guy and both Ponds and Lovett were 4 star guys and had better years than Jordan ever had. Granted Jordan went to a vet team so he didnt have to do as much, but he wasnt nearly as efficient as either player. Our future looks very bright and i feel like we have a great shot at making the tournament this yr.

Real important for us.  I like this kid.  Size, athleticism and shooting.

He looks like he's a straight up shooting guard. Not a point guard at all. I didn't see him make one play for another player in the videos I've watched. Not saying he can't.  That's actually ok to a degree. We have 3 guys who can run the offense. If Trimble just scores, that's ok. He can give us an offensive a burst off the bench, and hopefully be tough on d.

Poison, or anyone else, any word on his defense? At least show good fundamentals; footwork, staying between the basket and his man, etc? Does he box out? Thanks.

Thought i read he was a pg but i guess i was wrong

I think at this point he is a point center with forward and guard skills.

we haven't heard that one billion times

Really looking forward to watching Bryan's addition to the program. The lone freshman on the roster attending this weekend's BigEast freshmen orientation at the Garden this wknd . Looks to be a leader on the floor, great basketball instincts, can fill it up with range, elusive, athletic and tough around the glass for a SG.

Have heard he's looked very good but when the team has one freshman they are probably going to run with the narrative of him being a huge impact player. Hope he is as good as advertised bc we will need him to play this year and play well.

He may need to play some, but as long as he is decent and has a few moments that should be fine.  If the core 8 guys are generally good we should be good.

He's going to be one of the first couple guys off the bench every game so he's going to need to contribute. I think it's a good role for him. He doesn't have to carry the team by any means he can just be a small piece and can get comfortable in what should be a larger role next year with Bash and Marcus gone (most likely).

Bryan Trimble, St. John’s: Former Florida State commit scores 10-12 points just by getting out of bed in the morning and could wind up as a valuable reserve for Chris Mullin. Don’t be shocked if Trimble has the same type of long term impact on the Red Storm program that current sophomore Myles Powell is projected to have at Seton Hall.

Really interesting comparison
