Skills and Shooting Camp This Weekend At St. John's?
« on: June 03, 2010, 12:02:48 PM »
Anyone know about this?  Mentioned in Zagsblog, a post about the recent blowing up guard, Ryan Arcidiacono: http://www.zagsblog.com/2010/06/03/after-gritty-performance-arcidiacono-drawing-praise/

Arcidiacono also mentioned Texas, Notre Dame and St. John’s. Rice said Arcidiacono had been invited to St. John’s Skills & Shooting Camp this weekend.

This would be a great way to 1. get kids seeing the school 2. getting them to know the staff and 3. reminding them that a lot of NBA players train with Rico Hines.  Nice work putting it together so quickly (unless it was already being organized by the last staff, which is entirely possible).

Who on the last staff was going to teach these kids anything??? Norm LOL I am confident this was most likely a Lavin idea.

I feel you, but Norm did do an Elite Camp last year.  Brought in some kids to actually look at the school, they said nice things.

Yea but was that Norm or was it Oz and Kimani?  The more I look back on things the more inept I think Norm was.

Iverson and Anderson are difference makers.

Iverson and Anderson are difference makers.

I had the chance to see Kyle Anderson play a couple of times last summer.  He is slow afoot and looked somewhat "goofy" when handling the ball, but he was always making the "right" decisions and seemed to consistently make positive plays.

Hopefully, I get a chance to peek at his game (again) during the Peach Jam in another month.

He's improved since you've seen him, but his dad still has him running the point for the most part at the Playaz. He doesn't have the lateral quickness to guard BE or ACC points. The kid looked at footage of Shaun Livingston to try to get a sense of how to be that 6'7" pg, but Livingston was more athletic and had a much tighter handle.

Man Livingston was unreal when he was in HS.  Shame what happened to him.

i remember looking at that draft class and thinking on draft night that the kid would be the best player out of that class hands down

I would guess Oz is on the staff.  Hopefully Lavin and STAFF close the deal on some of these top recruits. Good job by Cross

im not sure if he is on the STAFF but that closing the deal thing goes to the COACHING part of the STAFF ie HEAD COACH, 1st ASSISTANT, 2nd ASSITANT, and 3rd ASSISTANT

So I guess the organizing of these camps falls under the responibilities of the administrative assistants/video coordinators?  I'd take that asst job with Braica, get paid more with less responsibilities
