St Johns will host priority recruit, NJ guard Al-Amir Dawes, this weekend for official visit, per source. Moved up from next weekend. #sjubb

Paultz the Corey Evans article I posted makes me think we're in pretty good shape with him but wouldn't we have preferred to have him visit the weekend of midnight madness??

My sense is they wanted to get him in ASAP. Clemson seems to be the main competition

Gotcha. Yeah, I hadn't seen that igiehon had cancelled for this weekend before I asked you. Maybe they realized they could devote 100% of their energy to him if he came this weekend.

Get him and Cockburn, I will forgive Mully.

Agreed. Probably extremely unrealistic but a class of Dawes, cockburn/ precious/ igiehon and another top one hundred guard like quinones would be enough for me to ignore all of my concerns about this regime.

It will take a 20 win season and a tourney appearance to have any shot at cockburn/igiehon.

Can someone provide insight into Dawes' skills? I know many on the board, along with apparently the coaching staff, were very high on Jalen Gaffney and viewed Al-Amir as plan B.  I know they have similar builds and 247 ranks Dawes higher in both their rankings. Just curious how the two compare.

Any updates on how the visit went?

A lot of predictions to Clemson in the last day on 247.

Where are you getting he'll be at tip off?  Or are you going from his original visit date that was bumped up a week?

well shit. Maybe the 2020 class can be a good one.

Another loss for Mullin?  Who could of saw that coming.

Can't recruit, Can't coach, Can't develop players.  Mullin better get to NCAA tourney, or this guy should be fired as soon as selection show is over.  One can only dream either happens.

There appears to be an aura of arrogance surrounding this staff. They believe they don't need to build relationships with 15-16 y/o kids. It's beneath HOF players to have to kiss up to a kid. Don't you know who we are? We are Chris Mullin and Mitch Richmond! Who wouldn't want to play for us! No, they don't know who you are, nor do they care.

In Mullin’s defense, how much coaching or recruiting does he actually do?  Change is coming!

This might actually be a good thing. The new AD must be doing internal reviews of each of the sports teams. Wouldn't be surprised if each St John's coach and their staffs will have a thorough meeting with presentation/discussion of their programs.

Recruiting, staff and coaching of the main revenue producer for the athletic department will be examined more objectively than in the past. Mr. Cragg was a great hire by St Johns, hard to believe we actually got him. He will be front and center on this.

Change is coming!

Of what? Your diaper?

-There is no sugarcoating this, 2019 has been a abject failure. However, each blow has occurred at the guard position, where we're stacked.

-I won't get into the Rice detail, idk what happened there so I won't pass judgement or assume anything one way or the other.

-A 38-60 (12-42) record doesn't mesh well with top50 and top100 recruits. Despite all of the hope that we have for this season the Fall Signing Period doesn't have the patience for hype. Players want results, so we're stuck.

-Much like Gaffney, I can see why Dawes was skeptical of playing time at the guard spot. We have depth for years to come, I'd love to argue with anyone about it.

-To reiterate my comments when Gaffney bolted for UConn, things aren't in crisis mode for me unless we strike out in the front court, where we have holes everywhere. If we don't land 1/3 of Kofi-Aidan-Precious I will start to flip out.

-Our success this year will have us land a grad transfer guard or one elite guard in the Spring signing period.
