Very good player who runs with Team Scan;

That's pathetic. The ad is right. St.Johns students are different. They don't care.

They been bad for 20 years pretty much and this year year was a great disappointment...It's not really shocking. Winning constantly and a school that gives a crap about the program and buzz will be created.
Mac Brown made it to two BCS title games, won one of them and after four years of being mediocre he was pushed out...Norm lasted SIX YEARS and the AD sadly fired him...What would have happened if he actually won a few NIT games?

Lavin I still can't figure out...Inconstancy will  not bring cowers especially after 20yrs of suckness.

Nudge you've gone from being one of the biggest YESMEN to being one of the harshest critics of the program. I can't figure you out.

Hahaha not a yes man...More of a short term pessimist long term optimist. I will always over root for my team and give the benefit of the doubt as long as I feel the program is moving in the right direction... For example not making the NCAA this year was disappointing but I still thought that Lavin was moving in the right direction and supported him coming back. When the program was bleeding players left and right and Lavin was no where to be found maybe getting rid of Lavin now may have better result for the program down the road even if we are bad short term...Right now I don't...Hopefully Lavin righted the ship.

I do think Lavin has the personality for NYC and I want him to succeed, I grew up around SJU and pretty much my entire life and want the school to do well in all areas. I think Harrington let the program rot from the inside out and in the process destroyed NYCs team.  It's possible to bring that SJU BB spirit back but it will be very difficult and we need to WIN consistently and be fun to watch. Hopefully we get there...Being an optimist of course :-)

Lavin can succeed if he makes sure he has a good X and O assistant (maybe Whitesell with more time) and gets back to working hard at what he does best which is recruiting. I too hope he succeeds.

If Lavin can get CO back and get another body, I will be a little more optimistic...Hopefully Whitesell can out together a coherent offense like glimpses in Feb...The whole team needs to eat some humble pie and get over any issues and just play ball this year.

Ahmed Hill hurts.  He was the best of a solid class.

Good player, and wise move by him.  With Kellen Dunham and Roosevelt Jones around for two more years and the Indiana grad transfer, it meant reduced role until his senior season.

@GoodmanESPN: Marquette has landed a commitment from BYU graduate transfer Matt Carlino, a source told ESPN. Eligible to play this coming season.

“@NYPost_Brazille: Big commitment for Butler, landing Jackson Davis. Good for Big East, too.” #BIGEAST
