Interesting;

“@NYPost_Brazille: Creighton is looking to get involved with Christ the King's Jon Severe, expected to come to school this week.”

There a 5 guys I'd have take a hike to bring him.

Not suggesting we should offer Severe, but chuckle when folks say he is a A10 level player. If so, what are we? Suggest we keep an open mind about folks who may be  be solid complimentary players. A lot of Tourney teams I' m watching seem good at that.

We are two points better than the 8th best A10 team. So, I'd say we'd finish 7th in the A10. Anyone that says a player like this isn't right for our program doesn't have our best interests in mind. He is exactly what we are missing.

I tend to agree.

I mean that kid did score 40 the other night in the state championship (semifinal?) game. Dwight hardy was a 6'2 shooting guard who scored a lot of points in NYC high school games, who knows?

“@NYPost_Brazille: Christ the King's Jon Severe says he will cut his list tonight ...”

“@AdamZagoria: Jon Severe has yet to cut his list, with Creighton & K-State trying for a late push.”

I saw the kid in person at the CHSAA final vs Loughlin. Was there to see Carrington but Severe is just a classic scorer. Tough kid, confident with his jumper, and pretty fearless attacking the rim. Not a bad athlete either. Would he cure all of our problems? No. Is he better than Rysheed Jordan? Probably not. Would he help us? Yes for sure. He can put the ball in the basket. I don't think you can argue that.

Why he isn't being recruited is a head scratcher in my opinion.

Do we have a coach sitting on his stoop waiting for him to come home?

No, when we don't get Jordan, Plan B is a French walk on.

 everyone loved frenchie when he wasn't getting any run.... now he's the butt of everyone's jokes... gotta love it!   

Yet he somehow for 3-4 game stretch was arguably our best player.
What happened?

 Well,  i'm not sure I would go that far..  He had a mini hot streak in a blow out( geogetown, i think).

 regardless, i think it became clear that Phil Greene> Marco . 

Even clearer:  Phil  Marco

Mark my words, we will refuse to offer Severe, and he will turn into the next Calhoun nailing 3's, penetrating, and just scoring all over the place. He will be exactly what we needed and we will have to be reminded when he plays for another Big East school against us. I don't care about anything else...he knows how to shoot right? Perfect. Offer him asap. We are the most desperate team in the nation for shooting especially 3's.

What makes you think offering him he will faint in excitement and come here?

He'd probably wonder why we ignored him for the past two seasons.

I really hope the whole Mullin thing is a stupid rumor, but him being coach is only scenario I can envision where Severe is in red.

I know it may sound crazy to the St.John's faithful, but I really believe that a guy who is really good at the shooting part of basketball is the kind of guy we should be recruiting.

Now that is really smart and witty this board would be nowhere without your insightful diagnosis.

Yea, that's not a sentence. FWIW, I said the same thing regarding Quincy Douby, but WE didn't offer him a ship, either.

So he 'cut' his list to 10 schools per Wingate?

NYCHoops.net spoke with Severe before he left for Albany to participate in the State Championship and he said he would cut his list down on Saturday night. True to his word, Severe texted us his list of ten schools saying, "Not in order: West Virginia, Pitt, Rutgers, Fordham, Seton Hall, Duquesne, George Washington, Kansas State, Boston College, CREIGHTON."

 Will make his decision on May 22nd

Looks like we can lock up this thread

Brutal

Will make his decision on May 22nd

He won't sign an NLI since that is a full week after the signing period ends.

One thing is certain: NYC players do not want to play here by in large.

How many high-major-level kids does NYC produce these days?

If one team got all the high-major NYC kids and nothing else, they'd be a national title contender every year
