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

Boeheim said the other day that half of the McD's kids stink. He's right.

Just thinking that if we get lucky with Sheed and he turns out to be one and done it's gonna take several miracles to field a team for 2014.  No more Norm Roberts to blame for that.

Does Jimmy B know you keep a picture of him on your night table and stare at it as you fall asleep every night?

It won't take a miracle for Lavin to field a team for 2014-15.  The guy can flat out recruit.  But it will probably be back to "youngest team in America" rhetoric for at least that year.

Doubtful.   2015 will very likely have seniors Phil Green, Jamal Branch and Sir Dom Pointer.  And Juniors Chris Obekpa, Felix Balamou, Max Hooper, Christian Jones, and David Lipscomb.   2015 will be a very "old" team - even with 3 or 4 incoming frosh.

St. John's IS in a different stratosphere than UCLA. UCLA is a BCS school, has way more prestige than us both academically and athletically. Recruiting at UCLA is MUCH easier than recruiting at St. John's where we had 1 good year in the past decade and can't even come close to their history. If he is truly a great recruiter, let's see him get McDonalds AA's here at SJ. Providence did it...they got 2. Why can't we?

If they can get 5 star guys so can we. In the grand scheme of things Lavin is a good recruiter, but I'm not seeing that high major talent i.e. Big East POY guys. True, Harkless might have been if he stayed, but he is really the only true stud we have had here under him. Sampson is good but needs to get a lot better...he gets a ton of rim on many shots and has that awkward release. I guess what I'm saying is, where are the McD AA's and the 5 star top 25 guys?

Exactly, so doesn't that make the caliber of players brought in even that more impressive?

Also, Jakarr was much better then McD all american Kris Dunn this year. Truth be told Jakarr was a 5 star player. Jakarr was the best player at Brewster last year which included 5 star Mitch McGarry and McD AA TJ Warren. Nerlens Noel was probably the only player in New England better then Jakarr. McD all americans are biased & subjective just as ESPN & Scout services are.

I apologize if I sound like a jerk or a know it all, but some of your statements are ridiculous

After watching McGarrybin this tournament, I would completely disagree

April 11 here we come;

Not sure if Greg knows anything, but he's given his prediction.

Huh? 

Exactly.

Only someone who INTENTIONALLY ROOTS FOR BAD THINGS FOR SJU comes up with this type of post.

Think about it.  First he assumes that Jordan is here and is a 1 and done.  Then he assumes that Sampson and Harrison are gone after next year.  Then he assumes that Lavin cannot recruit anyone to replace them without a "miracle."

Then he assumes we will blame Norm Roberts.

Mind you none of these things are anywhere near happening or about to happen.

But he goes from one assumption to another assumption to another assumption to come to a NEGATIVE conclusion.

So a reasonable person does not come up with a post like this.  Someone who has an agenda comes up with a post like this.
