but where do amir and phil stand if we bring in jermaine and jordan?

my point was, for next season, amir + phil are arguably more valuable than jermaine and jordan assuming everyone else stays.  so losing out on these recruits actually is not that bad provided the staff takes care of 2014 and beyond

So with that theory Syracuse shouldn't have signed Michael Carter-Williams because they had Dion Waiters?

Part of Boeheim's genius is the ability to stash top recruits for a year or two while his upperclassmen lead the team, finding ways to weave the young guys in over time.  There are not more than a handful of programs that can consistently pull this feat off and we are not one of them at this point.  Also Waiters and MCW have different games (and play different positions).

They also had Scoop Jardine and he still came.

There should be no debate that Cuse is on a different level than all but maybe 6 or 7 programs in this respect. 

Also I never said that they'd transfer - just that they might be sort of "left out."  there are not enough minutes to go around.

My original point was that losing out our '13 targets might not be that huge of a deal in the short run because amir + phil >= jermaine + sheed for next season.

Not what I'm wanting to hear. (It's unlikely, but I'm hoping the Hall kicks Cincy's butt this weekend.)

If this kid goes to Cincy, he's getting paid.

So anytime a kid doesn't pick St. John's it's because he is getting paid???

Still planning to visit soon:

Hearing that @mainestory will take a visit to St. John's in the next week or 2 and then decide. Sounds like Cincinnati or St. John's.

The laundry joke cracked me up ( helpful since Nathalie and I were in the middle of watching Les Miserables )

Sounds exactly like the disgruntled Cincy fans about Obekpa's decision to go to St. John's ... that it was all about money.

No one in their right mind chooses to go to a disgusting fly over state, instead of NYC. Does that mean that Lance Stephenson was getting paid? Think!

It always struck me as odd at the time that Lance chose Cincy over us.  As I recall, Cincy didn't make the tourney, nor where they projected as a tournament team.  Neither where we, but Lance would have had ample opportunity to play meaningful minutes and get his offense at St. John's.  Not saying he got paid, but was this one of those sponsorship type situations we have heard before (Cincy being an Adidas, or Under Armour school, or something like that?)

Two factors:  1. Lance needed to get out of NYC.  2. They didn't have any faith in Norm's coaching staff to develop him.

I agree with #2, but Cincy doesn't exactly have a pipeline to the NBA ....  Why did he need to get out of NYC so bad?
