He flips it... shoots it too low, almost from the waist

What are the chances to coach modification in his shot?

If anyone is going teach him, it might as well be by one the greatest shooters of all time.

It should look the exact same every time.  His looks different. He needs to get the puppies set and body straight and leaning forward a bit instead of falling away.  The other stuff will follow.  Release is way too low and angled.  No doubt Mullin can remedy it.  I like him as a recruit, but I think he's more of a 50-75 caliber kid than his current ranking.  I like Green a little more.

Any Raf reference is cool with me, but could you imagine if this kid was in the  'best shape in the country' like Mullin mentioned, how good or even great he could be. I didnt expect his shot to be good anyway. What I am impressed about is his ball control and fee for the game.

Chris has a lot on his plate, why don't we just let you work with him?

He's already better than half of last year's back court.

I like his size for a 2 guard, and he's probably still growing. Keep this kid home!

@CNG_Staszewski: Rawle Alkins is very close to his family and especially his mom. Being around them would be a big incentive to stay home. #sjubb

Alkins intrigued by St. John's hire

Four-star shooting guard Rawle Alkins was another recruit who attracted a number of coaches on Friday night; the staffs of North Carolina, North Carolina State, Cincinnati, Indiana and Rutgers all watched Alkins and the NY Rens take on Indiana Elite.

But Alkins is expecting another head coach to watch him later this weekend: New St. John's coach Chris Mullin.

"He has pro connects, NBA connects," Alkins said about the hire. "I don't know if he's a good coach but he was a great player. He probably can transform that into coaching."

Alkins had an off day against Indiana Elite. His jumper was falling but the Christ The King (N.Y.) shooting guard did not move well on offense without the ball in his hand, often settling along the perimeter waiting for the ball to find its way back to him. Alkins' energy on defense was low in the first half but it picked up in the second as he and the Rens attempted a comeback. At one point, Alkins flew in to block a layup attempt, nearly hitting his head on the backboard in the process.

In addition to the schools in attendance, Alkins is starting to attract new interest from Duke, Kentucky and Louisville, he told Rivals.com, so expect to hear more from him in the near future.

This kid sounds like he's genuinely interested in SJU since Mullin took over. The Johnnies are going to be competing with the big boys on this one.
