Manhattan and Iona are light years better then those programs.  Plus Manhattan and Iona  have a recent history of getting local high major kids to transfer back to the area. Pankey, Momo Jones etc.

It is actually pretty obvious what schools he would end up considering. 

Good points. However, Momo wanted to be here but couldn't because of Hicks' presence.

Agreed but he could have gone to Seton Hall (he visited there before he chose Iona).  Yet he still chose Iona.

Again my overall point (not necessarily to Poison but to many who are questioning why SJU is recruiting against the likes of Manhattan, Iona and Hofstra) is after SJU it is real slim pickings in terms of high majors in the NY area worth transferring to especially when you have expectations to play on the next level like Lawrence does.  So Iona and Manhattan become at least on the surface reasonable options after SJU considering where they are now and what they project to be in the immediate future and considering their recent success with high major transfers.  But considering SJU’s relationship with Lawrence already and what they are poised to do in the next few years I think SJU becomes a logical choice.


Agree

Well, given that it is illogical for Lawerence to go anywhere but SJU, he must be just visiting a friend who goes there....

SHU passed on Momo - lets just say they were not willing to give on certain requests from the young man

That’s not what I heard.  Mr. Player was not going to have him go there.

And anyone who takes Tiny in exchange for a player’s services is willing to do just about anything to get a player.

  Momo was a tough loss, we would have been much better w him. We needed a pg and more players ,he was very good and experienced.

He would have been best player on the team. So a tiny MAAC school  granted his requests?

Yes, the tiny low mid-major won out in a David v. Goliath battle.   :coolsmiley:

I guess Baldi doing body shots was enough for him to knock us out.

Damn whichever of those schools that gets him kudos to them.

Wow. Looks like we didn't want to play ball. Not sure anything else makes sense at this point.
