Justin Burrell

ESPN picking up on JB's great news!!  Hopefully he gets a shot in the NBA soon.  He has the physique, the motor, the attitude, and the skills, I think, to be a successful end of rotation/bench player in the NBA.

Bobre, set up a different thread for your unabashed love for Evans.  You are a joke.

You know kid I wasn'r even following Sean's stats until I took a look and found he'd had an outstanding season for a high level German pro team.  I would have mentioned it for any former Redman. That's where you and I differ and thank God for that.

I spend most of my day and night saving lives

there is no ego behind these posts

Redacted for brevity.

We differ because this is a thread for JUSTIN BURRELL and you have no desire to pay on topic at all congratulating a former Johnny.  Only the former Johnnies you like -- or parented since they were inside your womb.  If he had such a great season, start a new thread, and we will all congratulate him there.

Once again, it's what I do for a living literally. You can parse all you want but it's not about ego.  I work nights in an ICU trying to keep people alive, hopefully helping them get better.   I run the rapid response team and code team.   Was making the point that SJU basketball is a nice break from the harsh realities I deal with every night all night.   

Gee whiz.  This site might as well be renamed JohnnyDrama.com.   

with the return of the summer league in the off-season i wouldnt put it past justin to play his way onto a roster. Hardy for that matter as well. a bit off topic but im actually looking forward to sylven landesberg to get into the league as well, has impact player potential.

Did you know the population in Thailand is 63 million people. It is twice the size of Wyoming.
It's chief exports are textiles, footwear, and rice.
Each year approximately 13,000 people are killed in car accidents in Thailand.

Figured since 90% of this thread is not about the subject matter I'd chime in...

If Landesberg has such potential, why didn't anyone want him?

And watch out for the hookers, because they may come with an unintended extra. Man, that was a embarrassing spring break.

you are just so enamored with your own words

Perhaps you don't see the irony of commenting in what has to be your ten or twenty thousandth post on the egoism you find in my 500th. By the numbers you love the sound of your own voice by about a factor of about 10. But then I have rather a keen sense of it and and others, well, irony is as they say wasted on the stupid. Besides which you've blind pigged yourself a truffle here because it is in fact true that I'm enamoured with words. It's the value I place on them that leads me to be circumspect in their use. It's why I chose them carefully and mostly only in discussions of matters about which I've reached some degree of understanding. Whereas you, well, in one thread you're on about the mechanics of 2015 recruit's jump shot and in another the health of the great and powerful prostate and in another whether Mike Dunlap's wife would be happy living in Boise and in another whether Darrick Wood is going to pass his Friday morning social studies pop quiz. It must be exhausting pretending to know so much about so little and to have it all pouring out in a never ending torrent. You are a veritable Mount Vesuvius of twaddle.

Let me break it down for you

Well yes you could break it down for me, that's one option and its kind of you to offer. But since my only interest in this thread at all was to correct your calumny about Justin Burrell, here's another. How about I <hose> your post instead, because (a) basketball isn't that hard and despite (a) you (b) don't know that much about it. So we'll leave for another day such epiphanies as "talent is ... important" and "coaching ... works to extract talent" and this gem, "game planning is done preparing for games" - which tru dat as the kids say, it'd certainly be less effective planning on the bus ride home. Instead,

Parents had this album. Spent many long "stretches" of time staring at the cover.

Why don't you tell Foad and MCN that this was a JUSTIN BURRELL thread Kid?  Interestingly Paris Horne was on the same team as Sean and also produced stats very similar to what he did for SJU.  You might also consider comparing the levels of competition between Germany and Japan for educational purposes.

More verse.

Because I could not stop for Heath
Orvis
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Kevin Loughery

-----------

And in the room the women come and go
Talking of D'Angelo

-----------

"Beware the Jasiulionis, my son
 The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
 Beware the Biesty bird, and shun
 The frumious Berwanger!"

-------------

We are the Red
Storm
Short years ago
We lived,
felt dawn,
saw sunsets glow,
Loved and were loved,
and now we lie
In the CBI

------------

My name is Otoja Abit
King of Kings,
Look on my works ye Mighty
and despair!

---------

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Storm
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Norm

The banners were hung by the rafters with care
In hopes that another one soon would be there

The children were nestled all snug in their impossible to find Saint John's gear
While echoes of NIT championships rang their ears

And mamma in her unmentionables and I in the nude
Had just settled down for a long winter's rude awakening

When up on the roof there arose such a sound
That I loaded my 12 gauge and set loose the hound

But what did my wondering eyes see en route?
A miniature sleigh and eight mystery recruits

With a pompadoured driver so lively and thin
I knew in a moment it must be Lavin

With wingspans like eagles his players they came
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name

"Now Derwin! now Wiggins! now Gary and Barry!
On Kyle! on Sylvan! on John Calipari!

To the top of the rankings! The top of the polls!
Higher than Blue Devils, Orange, and Vols!

Then he sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a shout,
Got himself situated and got the hell out

But I heard him exclaim as he donned Keady's rug
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a humbug."

--------------

Once upon a midnight madness
While I pondered weak with sadness
Over many a quaint and curious PDF of box old scores
While I nodded
Neatly drinking
scotch
At once I started thinking
Thinking that the ship be sinking
Sinking lower than the floor
What a fate I cried, forsaken
Aching, shaken to the core
Thirteenth place for ever more

Then methought the air grew thicker
(Though it could have been the liquor
Oft I wake and greet the morning
Having passed out on the floor)
"Coach" I cried, "if Harry sent thee
And by which this blest event he
Meant to circumvent the mem'ry -
Mem'ry of the lost Le Norm -
Quaff, oh quaff this kool-aid quickly
And erase the lost Le Norm!"
Quote the Lavin, "Nevermore.”

Foad, it is despicable of YOU to accuse Keady of wearing a RUG.  His hairstyle was the product of a GREAT DEAL of pride and attention to detail.  NO wig maker could ever achieve such perfection.

Bobre, I assure you, I have addressed the issue you bring up.  Also, I am sad for you that my post completely pwning you was deleted twice by the Mods.  Do not worry, I'll have many chances in the future to do so.

What do people think Burrell does next year?  Move to NBDL?  NBA summer league?

Kid I'm glad you addressed the issue no doubt producing Foad's latest literary masterpiece.  Very effective. Please don't feel sad for me.  I've endured a lot over the years being the sole apologist for some of my favorite players but I have a habit of supporting my arguments with facts and statistics which, perhaps, has spared me the ignominy of deleted posts. I'll accept your desire to "own" me as a compliment.  Although it's a complete impossibility it would provide you with a source of SJU information which you so sorely lack.  I look forward to your future forays for as a dog returns to his vomit so does a fool to his folly. By all means keep on flagellating if it makes you feel good. Best regards to you.

Bobre, simply, you said you congratulate and are happy for every former Redman who succeeds, something you claim I do not.  Where's your congratulations and happiness for Justin?  This IS a Justin thread.  Thanks in advance.

Kid- you are better off running into a brick wall head first.

Bobre-  how do you feel about the class coach put together this year.  I know you were extremely worried when no one was signed 6 weeks ago.  I apologize if I missed your " nice job , coach" post. 

Personally, I'm happy coach got it together.
