Rysheed Jordan - PG - Vaux Roberts - Philadelphia, PA - ST. JOHN'S

Quote from: bk8664 on March 23, 2013, 08:05:06 PM

With the turmoil at UCLA, what do posters think is our percentage chance of getting Rysheed to come to St. John's?
20%?
30%?
50%?
More?

I have no idea really.  We should be ideal for him in that we have a stacked front-court and we seemingly need help  (especially if D'Lo ain't back) in the back-court.  If Rysheed is as good as advertised, then he would get plenty of minutes here.

We have a stacked front court for a year.   By about this time next year Sanchez and Sampson will be gone.

We'll have Christian Jones coming back.   

Dave-  where does Jordan turn with howland gone?

What is the context of that and what does it mean? I'm guessing he is rooting for Temple?

And he retweeted someone who said something about STJ yesterday.

Tweet to him the sky is blue and he will retweet it.  Stop relying on tweets to decipher what direction he's going.  Him and all these kids savor the attention and will retweet anything.

Just that he was enjoying his buddy, Khalif Wyatt going off for 20 v. IU in first half.

Keeping them on list.  Honestly talks about STJ as almost an afterthought IMO.

Not as an afterthought in terms of Rysheed.  Rather in terms of the blog post.  Is really all about UCLA.  Still mentions interest in Temple and St. John's and notes that UCLA is probably in third place for Rysheed as of the moment mainly due to the AAU guy on Howland's staff (obviously that all changes depending on their new coach).

Finally there's Jordan. The nation's top remaining point guard prospect, the 6-foot-4 senior has an excellent shot of moving up to five-star status when final rankings for the class of 2013 are done. For the latter half of his state title winning senior season, Jordan has been rumored to be leaning to UCLA. However, with Ben Howland out in Westwood, the Bruins are obviously at a significant disadvantage.

If they were indeed trailing as rumor had it, Temple and St. John's have to see a major opening to try and lock up Jordan. Jordan has been a frequent visitor to Temple games during the 2012-13 season and at St. John's the Red Storm should be returning a team full of long and athletic players with whom Jordan would fit in nicely. Steve Lavin and the Red Storm, much like UCLA, have also been a rumored leader at time. Can their stable of athletes trump playing for a hometown squad that has been very successful of late that has room for a new star to take over the departing Khalif Wyatt?

I agree.  The article was based on UCLA, not on Temple or St. John's.  Basically indicated that Rysheed was more interested in the school itself than the coach of the program.

Considering the schoo's coaching search might take some time, I find it hard to believe he signs on with somebody he's not comfortable with.

How many 5 star players aren't McDonalds AA's?

Does anyone still feel we have no shot landing Jordan? If so, why?

There are three criteria for being a McD's AA:

1) Are you highly ranked by the main recruiting services
2) You cannot be a post-grad player and…
3) You committed to Kentucky!!!!
