Great news!! good job by Monasch....Excited for next year already
Few things before I head out(late but girls hungry, whats the kid to do?)1) Lavin is not a salesman. Guy is legit and cares about kids.2) He knows hes been out of the game for a long time so dont worry, this aint some egomaniac that thinks he knows it all. He will surround himself with coaches who know whats going on as well as some SERIOUS recruiters. 3) SJU has made a commitment here to back him with the finances are resources he need to be a success.4) This is a good day, kids in the hood know him from tv and when he fills out his staff this is going to turn around....quickly.
and when he fills out his staff this is going to turn around....quickly.

I did not say it was not a good hire....i am allowed to have concerns....that's the nature of this website people expressing opinions. As for me...I wanted Tubby Smith but them's the breaks. By the way who ever STJ brings in I am behind them 100% regardless of any concerns because I want the School and the kids to be successful....end of storyYou are certainly welcome to voice your opinions and concerns.....its a forum! If we all agreed life would be boring. If you are concerned about Steve Lavin's lack of ties let me ask you what kind of ties would Tubby Smith bring in then?

If we all agreed life would be boring. If you are concerned about Steve Lavin's lack of ties let me ask you what kind of ties would Tubby Smith bring in then?Good point about Tubby's lack of ties but my issue was more aligned to the fact Tubby's been on the recruiting trail. Kids know who Tubby is....Do current recruits remember Lavin from 7 yrs ago? I personally will fill better after he names his staff. Don't get me wrong I am excited!! I would love for our Seniors to go out in the NCAA Tourny next year but more importantly love see the nine schollies go to some absolute studs.
