Nurideen Lindsey to transfer

but after the comments he made and the comments his family and friends made online I can't say I wish him success.

What did he and his family and friends say?

Positive take from those kind of digs at Mike - If AD's around the country pay attention, less likely we lose Mike to a head coaching job!

Some of you guys sound like Nuri is your ex-girlfriend. When she is with you she is the most beautiful girl around and then when she breaks up with you she is a nasty bitch. Let's be real Nuri is a talented ball player and also has  some glaring deficiencies. He didn't fit here and we replaced him. I think it worked out for everyone involved

+1 except for part about SJU being better off. That depends on what Nuri does with himself and how Branch turns out.

It's a lot easier to believe in someone who is trying. Someone who doesn't give up. I don't think that's such a crazy idea.

Hold on, Branch gave up on his team exactly like Nuri did on ours.

Stop!  How can you not see the difference?

Branch committed to A&M when they had a different staff in place.  The new staff not only recruited over him by signing Reese...they hired Reese's dad as a coach--not a D.O.B.O, but a coach! How awkward must that be in practice...getting coached up by the father of the kid brought in to (at best) split YOUR minutes.  The writing was on the wall...and Reese is a HELLUVA good looking prospect (with the Texas push-shot that WASJU loves so much).  If I'm Branch, no way in hell I stay with a coach that didn't recruit me when my competition's dad is on the staff. 

Branch leaves a team where he was only getting 18.6 mpg that has a more polished stud PG coming in 2012, for a team with an incredible core that sorely needs a PG...a school that doesn't even have a freaking PG on the radar for 2012. 

Nuri quit on his team...didn't even stay around two more games to bridge the gap until Garrett came.  He left us with six freaking scholarship players and not even enough healthy bodies to run a 5 on 5 scrimmage in practice.  Nuri really screwed himself over and I feel bad because he'll have nowhere to run after Arkansas.  Maybe that's exactly what he needs, but something tells me he'll be finishing up at the N.A.I.A level or more likely just disappearing like Lenny Cooke.  I hope I'm wrong.

With Lindsey off to Arkansas (http://aol.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/story/2012-01-13/ex-st-johns-guard-nurideen-lindsey-transfers-to-arkansas) he'll have lots of competition for PT.

Is that Nuri's fault, or the coaching staffs?

With Nuri-   4-5   (zero quality wins)

W/O Nuri  4-3  ( 2 BE wins)

Flawed stat(s).


Our core players have improved greatly since nuri left...and i wouldn't attribute that to nuri actually leaving...moreso the kids gaining experience and maturing. 

Nuri was talented and gave us another body...id take him for the georgetown game in a second as he'd give us a better shot to win.

St. John's is a better team WITH Nuri....

Shocker you would say that.

I mean, it's pretty obvious.  Another body, another scorer, another ball-handler, etc.

  See, i would attribute it to Nuri leaving, Will.  Nuri needed the ball in his hands to be effective.  He had to dominate the ball, dribble , and drive,  on virtually every possession.  Our shooting and passing have both improved since he left. Notice Baldi doesn't post obnoxious assists stats anymore, every 5 minutes?  It's not coincidence that both Harkless and Harrison have had dominating performances in his absence. I think both players development may have been stunted if Nuri stayed here and took 60% of the shots.  Just my opinion.  Your certainly entitles to yours,  as wrong as it may be....

work on his jump shot.  A lot.   

Nuri can't shoot! He can't. I agree.
Lindsey .462%
Harrison .378%
Greene .314%

Numbers misleading because of how many shots he made around the hoop. ( which was most ). He was flat out fantastic around the hoop. Outside of the paint the opposite

So....worst shooter ever, Steve Johnson of Oregon State (and the Knicks)?

Big difference between a 6'11 center making all his baskets inside and a guard making all his baskets on the inside which was working against the cupcake portion of our schedule and not so much against legit D1 competition.

How is it obvious? Can you really say they are better with him? Sure he's very talented, but towards the end I think it was clear he was throwing off team chemistry. Right now, I think we beat Detroit and Northeastern.

Sources confirm that Nurideen Lindsey will now transfer to Rider to play for Tommy Dempsey and the Broncs. Arkansas is out.

LOL

HAHAHA. Wait til he sees that dump of a gym he'll play his home games in

That seems more like a better fit. He can be the man, score his points, and keep his delusions of being an NBA talent alive.

Wow.  Talk about a fall from grace.  Now the question is whether he ever plays for Rider. 

It's a high risk high reward for Tommy Dempsey. He graduates Jones and Penn two guys putting up a majority of their team's shots and he's having a pretty poor year with senior laden talent. Sophomore Stewart is leading scorer and his younger brother who is at Neumann-Gorretti HS is on the way.

He can dominate that conference or poison what little chemistry Rider already has.

I'm also surprise because Dempsey's teams are very perimeter oriented and take a lot of jump shots.

Any idea of what happened??

I like Stewart alot. Should be 1st team MAAC next year. I just dont see where Nuri fits in, I guess Dempsey is trying to save my job. He couldnt wint the MAAC with Jason and Ryan Thompson
