Newcomers

Which of the new guys are you most excited about and cant wait to see suit up for the Johnnies?

Im gonna go with Hardy, gotta love the scorers

  Hardy...no doubt.  with Omari a distant second.

  I'll go with Brownlee or Hardy. No significant frosh impact.

Omari.  Seems like a hard nosed scorer with the winning attitude we need on this team.

I'm definitely going with my man Omari

Has to be Hardy. Anyone juco that can drop 40+ like him is such an enigma.

I'll go with Brownlee or Hardy. No significant frosh impact.

I agree with Walkon for the same reasons...Hardy and Brownlee....if both come as advertised the offense should be alot better (can't get worse can it?). We also have a backup PG.

if were talking about 09-10 season then its gotta be hardy but if were talkin about 4 year long term than its gotta be omari

I wanna see Omari first and foremost to see if the brother shed the lbs thats been keepn his game down.

Choz what pounds are you talking about? He's a twig.

Did he eat at McDonald's all spring?

Me too. At South Kent Omari played well but he didn't look like the firecracker we saw at St. Raymond's. He gained weight as a result of that shoulder injury and hadn't lost it yet in the games I saw at SK. I think that's the reason why he's not as explosive as he was once was. I hope our trainer gets a hold of him to take off the fat and put on some muscle. He could be one hell of a ballplayer for us.

The brothers been dealin wit the poundage since the injury. Haven't seen O since he been on campus so maybe that all change. Just wonderin is all.

NBE caught up with St. John’s head coach Norm Roberts while at the BasketbBull Hall of Fame Invitational on Saturday in Springfield (MA), picking the brain of the Red Storm coach, who spoke primarily on his infusion of talent for 2009-2010

Roberts on Omari Lawrence: I think Omari is going to be a great in transition, as well as a great defender. He really handles the ball well and he can really pass it and create. He can create shots for himself as well as others. I think he has the opportunity to make an immediate impact. I think we’re going to have the personnel where we’re going to be better, so we’re not going to look at any freshman to be saviors, not on this team.

Malik Stith; I think Malik’s going to help us a lot with our ball handling, creativity. He’s going to help us in our two-guard set.

Dwight Hardy: Perimeter shooting, he’s going to help us. He’s going to be able to help us in an assortment of ways scoring the ball. He’s a really good 3-point shooter, he’s also a great mid-range shooter.

Justin Brownlee: Versatile forward, he can play inside and outside. He can play between the 1-4. He’s 6-7 and had a great JUCO career. We’re excited about what he can bring to the table
