St Johns just offered according to Brazziler

Yawn!  Seems like his brother is the much better of the two and Justin is already headed to Pitt.

Reclassing to 2019 and announcing his commitment tomorrow. Some folks on twitter saying its between us and pitt.

All signs point to it being us I think. Though weird because he's a wing and we have plenty of those for next year.

Anyone seen Julian play or have any insight into his game/ whether or not he's a big east caliber player?  My only knowledge is that there's very little tape of him on youtube and his 247 page lists him as completely unranked.  He does seem to have a few nice offers though from Cincy, Rutgers, Rhode Island, Dayton, Texas, Saint Louis, and Seton Hall.

Zach says Van was the lead.  Cue the whimsical articles about Action Jackson and Loughlin:

Assistant Van Macon was the lead on Julian Champagnie recruitment. St. John's worked fast on Champagnie, who initially was going to prep this year, before changing his mind. Versatiuile three-star wing. Can score in multiple ways. #sjubb

Former @MbbBishop standout who reportedly will attend prep school this year. Versatile forward who's effective on the wing and on the baseline. Great length gives him a chance to fit well into @Iron_MikeMA 's pressing defense. #SJUBB

From Paultzman's friend John Micotta's perspective.

Great to see us get a player from the CHSAA.  When was the last CHSAA player, other than walk ons (and the De La Rosa's) from the league? 

This kid sounds like the kind of player we’ve been missing.

Nice first NY piece for this staff. He won't be expected to or needed to contribute bigtime right out of the gate which is good. Hopefully he develops into a solid 4 year guy.

Hell have two great upper classmen to learn from. Welcome to sju!

He is the lesser of the two brothers. I thought he was gonna wind up at A-10 level but thought if he went lower he'd be real impact. So definitely feel it's a reach for us.

Welcome! With Ponds, Clark and Simon leaving, there are plenty of minutes available. Do well and enjoy.

my goodness, you haven't had a positive thing to say about SJU since Anderson was hired

Just so I’m understanding which perspective this is coming from Dave, would you consider yourself a scout or media?

Bring Back Matt A!! 🙄 Need to bring in all the studs who won 3 big east Wednesday Night Games!

4 Year Player hopefully can give us Spark off bench year 1 and learn from Figgy....NYC kid who wanted to stay home....Kid will be perfect for Anderson’s system. Welcome Julian!

Good get by Anderson & Co. Kid's already solid with plenty of room to grow and develop. Nice to get a city kid too. Should be a solid 4 year player.
