If Mullin had a son who was a player he probably couldn't even get him to commit to St Johns.  The guy is a failure as a recruiter

Can you elaborate a little here...? With some clear cut examples...

I think the staff has done a solid job recruiting the last few seasons and played transfer game very well.  They are just not going to attract 1 & done type players, St. John's has never attracted those type kids. (please don't use Mo Harkless as an example, he was NEVER expected to be 1 & done)

I don't share his stance, but Mullin couldn't close the deal on his former college teammate, Ron Rowan's son, on the son of his former NBA teammate and guy who named one of his sons after Chris, Manute Bol, and he didn't get former St. John's star Rowan Barrett's son. Missing on all three seems a bit odd...especially Bol. I mean the guy named a son after Chris.

If I’m not mistaken, these were elite recruits. Can’t blame Mullin for them. But, I’ve argued, w 1 recruiter, no reason Mullin can’t actively recruit more.

RJ Barrett and Bol Bol are the projected #1 and #2 picks in 2019 draft. I posted in the Norm days that I thought we would finally turnaround when some of our players from the 80's had 4-5 sta kids. Even Norm was able to get his high school teammste's son who was ranked too high for us then.  Ponds was ranked right near Maverick Rowan.

Does the DC commit sink this ship? Caraher plays a different position but based upon our 2019 priorities it looks like we've moved away from the 50ppg NYSPOY.

SJU has not really paid attention to Girard consistently. Like Jordan Brown, another St. Jean recruit, this will not come to fruition.

Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim & asst. Gerry McNamara will complete an in-home visit today with 2019 guard Joe Girard @JG3_____ of @TheCityRocks

Nobody was getting Girard to St. John's. His dad played for Beilein and Cuse owns upstate NY.

I bet he goes to Nova.  Nova is the new Duke of the Northeast.  Could definitely see that.

Can’t imagine a better fit.

Excerpt on JG3's suitors linked below, we're not mentioned fwiw:

Would watch Nova down the stretch here.

You are correct, I would say right now the top 3 is Nova, Duke & BC. Not in that order though.

Playing @Dyckman tn
