Kid, that was Norm worst mistake IMO. The hiring of assistants. I dont have too many names to give you, but like its been said before but not hiring Terrence Mullin was big mistake. Norm was also a couple of years late on bringing in the 2 AAU guys, but now theyre paying divedends quickly.
I have alot more patience than some, I throw away Norms 1st 3 years because nobody was coming here in the shape the program was in. Slowly
but surely things are moving in the right direction.

http://lfballonhoops.blogspot.com/As I have mentioned in the past, St. Johns is improving and rapidly sneaking back into the picture as an area power regarding recruits. If Lance Stephenson signs with St. Johns, and I am sure SJU is all over this, SJU now improves its image and attracts great crowds at MSG. Also Alumni Hall again sells out every game on campus, NYC returns to the glory years, and the Garden again becomes the place to be for College basketball. Come on Lance make it happen! I know you read this blog on occasion and I am telling you that you belong on Broadway, well at least close to Broadway lol. Lance with the current SJU players and recruits would be dangerous!!
Lance we know Maryland wants you to follow in the footsteps of Albert King and be the next NYC superstar to attend school in College Park. Great place and I am sure they will treat you well. But there is nothing like home cooked meals, playing at the Garden, being able to eat a Nathan's hotdog when you wish, having your support network at games, having every NBA scout watch you perform, going to a school where you will be an impact guy from day 1, and lastly becoming a true home-town hero leading SJU back to the NCAA tournament. Watch out SHU, if Lance attends SJU the battle for area players and media coverage will be huge.
