Diakite Gone

Actually Poison is a non-fan of this program. He is a hater, whose own words convict him of being biased towards our coach and our program. Whatever points he thinks he is making are the opinions of an embittered old fool who would rather find fault, than root for and promote the promise our team has for the upcoming year.

Poison is nothing short of a hero for having the courage to express his opinions on a public forum in spite of his cognitive disability. You should be ashamed of yourself for your elitist and exclusionary approach.

Ha!  No one said anything to your fabricating, bigoted, narcissistic ass.  You're clearly the "simpleton" from where I stand, as I'd easily run laps around your silly ass.  You stupid, big-mouth, know-it-all.   

I'd also give you every opportunity to run your mouth in person and see how that'll work out, you wannabe Bill Raftery, Jeff Van Gundy, Tom Konchalski, schnook.  You talk (more like attempt) a good game, but you're merely FOS, wuss.

Where was this kid a 4 star? He was a borderline prospect who just had a major knee injury. We competed with NO ONE to get him. Another waste of scholarship.

Stop spouting facts on here Tony, they could be considered taboo. Another case of this staff chasing their own tail. I totally agree.

My my my, I guess Poison doesn't like getting called out for his inaccuracies. His lunatic-like rant impresses nobody. He might want to cut down on the drugs, or better yet find a different team to root for.

I feel for the kid and it's hard to really blame the staff for this one. An Abdul Lewis-like guy would be ideal.

This kid gets seriously injured and then the staff offers him a scholarship? It’s because of incredibly dumb shit like this that the team didn’t have any damn size last year.

Unsurprisingly this is complete BS on multiple levels.

The staff offered him well before his injury. He committed in June of 2016. He got injured in May of 2017, a full 11 months after he committed to St. John's.

He then enrolled at St John's one year early in late August of 2017. This is because the team had a open scholarship they were not going to fill for the 17-18. If you want to blame the staff for that, that's fine, but don't claim that him being on the roster prevented them from getting a big. Had that 13th scholarship been claimed by another player before late August of last year then the staff would not have had Diakite come to SJU a year early.

The staff is not to blame for giving him a scholarship.  But here is something to chew on, SJU had 3 kids that signed scholarship papers as part of its 2017 class.  Zach Brown, Sid Wilson and Diakite.  Combined they will have played 0 minutes for SJU.  From 1 class.  Whiffing like that on top of missing out on target after top target for 2017 and 2018 is going to rightly bring about criticism.

Better produce this year and next...

This revolving door of recruits has to stop! It hurts recruiting and we gain no continuity with the guys playing together.

Objectively, this decision, unlike Zach Brown, shows that the staff knows what it is doing.  They got a 4 star kid from NYC - what everyone clamors for.  He suffered a horrible injury.  When we had a scholly open, they allowed the kid to enroll early to rehab in a better situation.  They did right by the kid, his advisors, his HS, etc.  When it became apparent that the kid could not recover quickly enough to benefit the program, they decided it was best to move on.  Every major program would do the same.

St.John’s was not and is still not in a position where they can afford to f around with scholarships. They had one open because they sat on their hands all summer instead of recruiting the player they needed to add.

The irony in his post, per using the word "elitist."  He's gathered that's what and who he is by the way he's posted on these boards.  He was actually projecting his personality on his initial post.  He's nothing more than a delusional, fabricating loser.  He feels threatened, as I've brought his insecurities up to the surface. 

By the way, get your own material per the comma joke.  It's unoriginal and not even funny.  What's funny is you, as I obviously struck a nerve due to you even mentioning my name in a conversation that didn't have anything to do with me.  LOL   I'm in head, you bigoted, bullshit artist.  I'd teach you a lesson or two (in person), if you had some balls.  They're lacking.  Kinda like your "Bullwinkle" material that you spout off on here.

you bigoted, bullshit artist.  I'd teach you a lesson or two (in person), if you had some balls. 

I sincerely apologize if you feel like I was picking on you for being dimwited or mentally challenged. I am not well versed on the currently acceptable terminology, but I assure you that I support you guys and that I am not bigoted towards any class of simpleton. I'd like for you to teach me these lessons. I just bought a new box of 128 crayons and some Play-Doh for my son. I also have a bunch of coloring and activity books. Would that cover it? Have a blessed day.

Any word on who they are trying to get for that last spot?

I've exposed you for who you are and it's eating you alive, hence why you mentioned my name outta the blue.

I'll await for the insecure bigot you are to ever repeat any of your foolishness face-to-face.  I'll say this stuff to your face and dare you to do anything, other than cower or get effed up.

Per the comma joke: you would think someone would master the use of the comma if that someone continues to get got for it.

I tend to appreciate MJ’s basketball analysis, for the record.

Not angry.  I know you're a punk AND a bigot, and wouldn't have the gumption to pull your stupid act in person.  I also prefer not to waste too much time on a bunch of back and forth.  If chumps like you wanna talk shit, then talk tough in person.  I know you wouldn't, as you're as gutless as they come.  You're rather transparent.

If you did, I'd make you a bigger joke than what you already are on these boards.  I'd make you wish there was a such thing of a Genie, as you'd be calling for it to stop the shellacking.

Well....  Figures..  I'll add coward to your resume'.

I see they just showed you guys Aladdin at the home. You don't call a genie though nice person, you rub a lamp. And what kind of idiot would waste a wish on just stopping a "shellacking"? I'd wish for your dick to blow up and shower the floor with billions of dollars cash -- US Dollars too, I'm not getting taken by some shyster genie looking to fvck me with Namibian dollars just so I have to waste another wish to convert into USD. But I digress...fine, let's do this.

My only condition is we have to sing "We are the World" first -- all 7:14, okay? https://youtu.be/M9BNoNFKCBI
If you still want to fight after singing that we can proceed, but maybe we absolutely crush it and change plans? Unlikely, but who saw us beating Duke and Nova in the same week?  Amirite?! It's the only way I can know how serious you are. This will be recorded for JohnnyJungle so you need to bring your A vocals. No coward sh*t. We'll draft the parts...only animals would split the vocals along racial lines. Agreed? First pick goes to whoever predicts Baldi's next unfounded rumor to the closest day. In the event of a tie, first pick goes to the closest to the subject of the rumor.  I'll take June 3rd and Ponds if you have no objections. I'm gunning for James Ingram's vocals if I get the first pick...I'll tell you right now. Do you have a Skype handle or do you prefer FaceTime for the drafting of vocals and rehearsal? You seem like an Android guy.  I'd think we could get it pretty well nailed down in about six sessions.

I'm thinking the ref can be Joe3 dressed in a medium genie custome so the loser would  have to go through him to stop the shellacking. The audience could chant "rub the lamp, rub the lamp!" when someone is in a bad spot. We should broadcast too -- live on MJMaher's Facebook with $10 to get viewers a friend add. The proceeds will be used to buy Poison math lessons. Get back to me after someone reads this to you and we can iron out the details like if we are going to have a 50/50 raffle, catering for the live audience, location, entry music, etc.

Any word on who we might get as a replacement? Btw... Wtf is wrong with you ppl?

Great to see Mullin and Mitch at the Warriors game last night instead of recruiting for that open spot, or attending SJU graduation where players on his team walked. These guys definitely have their priorities straight.
