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.

Gee you're smart.  My point which you don't understand is that Sheed has been mentioned as a one and done talent.  Having seen him I wouldn't be shocked.  It's just that if he left along with Sampson, Obekpa, GG, Marco, DLo the cupboard gets pretty bare.  Now if we had signed Lawrence we would have had at least one front court starter for 2014. At the moment there's noone. One and dones are nice but they leave so fast.....

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.

It fascinates me how people in this forum now consider McD AA's to be like receiving a participation medal. Really? No...really? For every guy you can name that wasn't a McD AA yet still played like one, I'm sure I can dig up a list and show you tons of lottery picks and future NBA superstars. Those are not top 50. Those are the cream of the crop. The honor roll of the honor roll. That's why it's a big deal when a player gets that distinction. I would try my luck with an all american EVERY time over trying to make Lavin find a diamond in the rough.

Jordan's choice will be interesting. I still feel like UCLA isn't out of it because recruits do not always make smart or logical choices. Temple is going to be in a bad conference with Tulsa, Tulane, East Carolina, SMU, UCF, etc. yet he shows lots of hometown loyalty. With him coming here, we become stacked if Harrison comes back. I'm sure Lavin is also telling him we need scoring in the worst way and he can fill a large void. I'd love to see him take Greene's place and make the shots Greene almost always misses.

So why are you so big on Severe then?  Is there something special about him that makes him the exception to your rankings requirement?

Being confident of something doesn't mean it will happen or is likely to happen. No newsflash here, just saying we are still players essentially. What school would say "no, we are not confident in our chances"?

Adding this guy would work wonders for morale

Who's morale?
Fans?
Phil Greene?
Felix and Marco?

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

@GregLogan1 8h
Predicting Philadelphia PG Rysheed Jordan signs with St. John's next week. Steve Lavin is great closer. #stjbb

Good predictor I am told. Ha

You telling us someone has whispered something to you or was that sarcasm?

Not being sarcastic or otherwise, but fwiw it is second time I have heard this in last two days. That said, with this kid, who knows!
