Gerardo Suero - SG/PG - OSNA - Centereach, NY - WABASH VALLEY JC

i guess he can't play then!

seriously, every time a name has popped up on the message boards this year, that player gets snapped up.

he can play. his game is sort of similar to doron lamb hes crafty and is long and knows how to score. hes filled out a bit more physically of late but will still develop. i see him more of a SG but he could play the 1.

If we didn't want Bolding...why are we interested in another 2G that can't shoot?

oh, no doubt.  i was being facetious; i'd like to know more about suero.  been hearing about him for a minute, and if he can handle the rock AND score?  sounds promising to me.

thats simply because the realistic recruits for the 2008 class are sub-par for BE talent.....now i aint gonna drill anybody willing to come here, but once in a while we would like to hear names in the caliber of:

Lance Stephenson
Dominic Cheek
Durand Scott

obviously i'd like us to get involved with major recruits but norm will never get them. plain and simple.

he's got interest by pitt so he's a good player i'd assume.

pitt's taken some decent players and made them influential talent.  i look at levance fields and man, he's not all that great.  but the pitt staff has molded him and the rest of that team into a squad that can maximize their talents, know when to shoot, know when to run, and play lock down team defense.  it's not just about the talent, it's about how that talent is molded and trained. 

tom crean's not bringing in 5-stars.  pitt doesn't bring in the 5 stars that other teams do.  but those dudes get coached.  well.

Never is a strong word and is Justin Burrell #1 prep player in the country not a big recruit. I'm all for criticizing and commenting on things but it annoys me when people do so unfairly. We can say we're not happy with the recruiting it hasn't been up to our par of standards for what we expect St. John's to be but to say he is never going to land anyone big is just an unfounded statement to make. We need to win and the recruits will roll in.

I'm not sure how interested we are but I think there is a big difference from showing interest and showing high interest. I think we would kill Norm for not showing interest in players around the NYC area and now that he is too we're still upset.

Nobody is upset that he is showing interest...its just why turn down Bolding and continue to recruit 2G's? 

I try not to judge a class until its complete...but at this point it looks like nobody wants to come to St. John's...we needed some good news and Bolding could've been it.
