Regarding Hurley: Don't forget Roshawn McCleod went from St A's to SJU, I believe under Mahoney. Mahoney never could find minutes for him but somehow when he transferred to Duke Coach K could find minutes. And, then he got some light in the NBA. Regarding Elijiah, you're right he didn't want EI to go to Jarvis but EI loved the thought of going to SJU and play for Jarvis. EI took a bad rap for the Pittsburgh sex club thing but at least his cellphone saved everyone from rape charges.
Regarding Hicks: Kyle Cuffe was the last Rice grad and I recall Edgar Sosa having mad hate for SJU because the Jarvi snubbed him when they were there to scout someone else or Jarvi Junior ate the last Big Mac value meal.
