Derk, have you read the last page of entries?

The consensus is that Rice will be here as soon as his AAU season is over at the end of July.

Why is that? Isn’t it way more important to be with a college team instead of a glorified little league team.

The biggest time for AAU basketball is July. There is no reason for him to join the staff before then. If he is indeed eventually joining the staff, it is best for both him and program to have him on the sidelines coaching our top 2 targets during the July AAU period rather than watching them from the bleachers

Not arguing. Asking. What are college coaches allowed to do over summer?

They're not allowed to coach AAU teams.

They're not allowed to coach AAU teams.

D3 college coaches can.

D1 coaches have players in summer class, have to schedule games for upcoming seasons, practice plan, recruit, run camps. There is enough work on the table.

Which of these is Mitch doing?

What exactly has occurred that lead this board to believe that Rice is even in consideration?

Someone suggested that the only reason it hasn't happened is that he is finishing up coaching his AAU team, as if that is the delay in making an announcement. Throw in some predictions from the so called guru's and a ever hungry fan base that assumes it's all done. Sheer folly.

If read you mean all the speculation and conjecture then yes.

So than you answered your own question. We get it from reading the speculation and conjecture on this board.

From zach b:

St. John's assistant Matt Abdelmassih and Greg St. Jean will rotate at Peach Jam, Adidas and Under Armour events. Luca Virgilio will also be on road this week in place of Mitch Richmond. #sjubb

And also...

I was told not to read into who is or isn't on road

Too bad. Would like to read into it.

Mitch Richmond the only no show coaching job in the country.

Hard to determine the true value that Richmond brings to the program; it's clear though that we are not able to maximize his presence.

It's also clear that Luca Virgilio, just a few years removed from being a grad assistant, should not be relied upon to be out on the road recruiting.

Why is it clear that Luca Virgilio should not be relied upon to be out recruiting? What is the basis for that statement? Maybe he is a recruiting savant.

Luca has a lot of potential, especially internationally.

But it is a joke that he’s on the road unless a late summer new hire is already locked up.

Dude get real.  Luca is just a kid with absolutely no pull or influence to his name at this point. Would you rather have Mitch Richmond and his hall of fame ring on the recruiting trail or a kid who three years ago was helping out the bball team part time while attending grad school?

They have both proven to be useless to this point.
