No.  Ledo is Lenny Cooke 2.0.  He will be Cooley's downfall--that and Cooley's horrible coaching.

Totally agree.  Now check your PM's

I love Coach Cooley as a person and coach. I'm pretty confident in his ability to recruit and assemble talent at PC which is good for the conference. Cooley also has the support of the big time alumni which is definitely vital too.

If I had a gun to my head today I'm confident JaKarr will be at St. John's next season. Things can always change but everything is lined up in STJ's favor.

He keeps it real.

Sampson will not end up back at St. John's (imho), and neither will Pelle.

Steve Lavin needs to get well ASAP, and start making himself visible again to prospective recruits otherwise we're in big trouble going forward which is nothing new now for this basketball program.  Plus we're going to start dealing with underclassmen such as Mo Harkless going pro very early.

We need to start landing some commitments and making them STICK otherwise it's a fake-out paper-tiger like last years class was after we lost almost half of our signed recruits who never ended up playing a single play here at St. John's.

I've always been of the mindset that Lavin should take his time and come back when he's ready, but if we lose out on Jakarr too, I think he needs to get on the sidelines ASAP.

I totally emphasize with your anxiety kingofk1ngs, but if our recruiting takes a hit this year in order for Lavin to make a full recovery from his cancer surgery, then IMHO, so be it.  After all, we are fans of a CATHOLIC university's BB program.   Need to put the health of our coach ahead of our desire to be super competitive on the recruiting trail. 

And if that lovely coach at that Baptist school was going for JaKarr like he did Rico, I'm sure he wouldn't dare bring up coach's health to gain an advantage -

Yes, we get it. After the first 100 times you said it it started to sink in.

Does he mean Pelle is not coming next year? How about in 2013?   

Can someone tell me who is our main competition for Sampson?
