My Reaction From Media Day, Today

All the young kids Roberts, and Ty are learning from him and will be watching him closely. Ty is a big dude and I think has potential to be a real threat this year.

Yes, I'm sorry I did mean Roberts. Ill edit that so no more people get confused. Roberts is the one who has hit the gym hard.

"St. John’s could add a perimeter player in the fall signing period, which begins Nov. 12"

Is he referring to Stith & Omari, or is there a wing close that we are not aware of?

Well today was media day for St John's and it was very nice. Had media from all over there SNY, MSG, couple of the papers. All the players from the mens and womens team were available as well as Norm Roberts. After speaking with the players and coach today I am very confident that this is a completely different team this year and people will be surprised this year. Malik has become the leader on the floor along with Mason. All the young kids Roberts, and Ty are learning from him and will be watching him closely. Roberts is a big dude and I think has potential to be a real threat this year. DJ and Paris are ready and feel that this team without Geno is much quicker and will be more fast paced. Justin Burrell looks to be in fantastic shape, and Norm Roberts said that he believes Burrell will be a top player in the Big East this year. The experience from last year to now for the 8 freshman last year is the biggest plus according to Norm and he feels that this team could be dangerous. I really wanted to speak with Phil Wait and I did, hes a great, great guy. He's enormous...7'1 and his hands are the size of my head. His size is a big plus but he will be on the bench to start. His eye and knee are 100% and hes psyched to play at Carnesseca. He said that he never played in an arena with more than 400 people in it so I told him, wait till you get to the Garden. Dele Coker has lost 20 lbs and coach said he will probably be the starting center, right now its between him and Sean Evans. It was a great experience, Norm is a great guy and his thoughts on the team seem to be stable and the kids are all on the same page. I am looking forward to a great season, ill cross my fingers.

we'll see if Zags is talking about what I know I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Good grief.  This team can't fit another wing player without a transfer.  Especially not a JUCO.  How about some developing height, coaches?
