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

Dom is going to be a stud next year. I think he builds off his strong finish. Welcome Ryseed

Great job by the staff and welcome Rysheed!!

It has been said by Dave, Choz and others with some of the "inside" knowledge on this board that Tony Chiles is our most important assistant coach.

Everyone other than PMG seems to love Chiles.

This is one of the lead stories on ESPN's men's college hoops page:

Sheed specifically references Obekpa and Phil in the article.

He's smart, funny and connects well with kids.

Also has connections up and down the seaboard.

Guy was a tremendous hire.

From Rysheed:

"I really like their style of play, pick and roll and how coach Lavin lets their guards play," Jordan said of St. John's. "On my visit I also built a great relationship with Chris Obekpa and Phil Greene. I liked New York City, and coach [Steve] Lavin is a great coach, just awesome."

Now let's go out and get Sina and Severe….LOL!

Both.

As the character Sonny said in A Bronx Tale: "Get two educations kid, one from school and one from the street."

There are so many spelling errors in that piece it is a joke.  Phiadelphia.  accout.  Johnies.

Saw the staff out at Iguanas last night and knew they must've been celebrating. I'm incredibly excited for what an explosive player like him could mean for our team.

Can't wait for signing day with the presser. Yes !

You make it sound like he is a professional writer.

Maybe we can get mkras to comment on Rubin…

He is not fighting to get a Pulitzer that's for certain.

He says SJU needed a PG and he can fill that missing piece. If there is one thing everyone on this board agreed on,which is rare, is we needed another quality PG. Branch may turn out to be very good ,but there are question marks w him and he seems injury prone. Its nice to know we are 2 deep w talent at every position,so foul problems,fatique,or injury isn't overly detrimrntal.

Those that have seen him play what player would you compare his game to?

Coach Lavin is and always will be the most important member of this staff. He is the closer.

If Tony Chiles has the assistant that was leading the effort for Jordan then kudos to him and job well done.

Why me?
