Rawle Alkins - SG - Word of God - ARIZONA

heavy hitters in there, We score if he wants to stay home for some reason. Cals lure is almost impossible to resist.

No offense to anyone, but when I see quotes like "if John Doe wants to stay home then he'll be ours," that isn't insightful and rather obvious.  It (the local recruit going to St. John's, if he wants to stay home) goes without saying.  I'm not directly targeting you, Valgoth, as I've seen that particular quote or something similar from several different posters when we're involved with a local recruit.  I just find myself saying, "No 'ish" when I read those type of quotes.

As, far as Alkins....  I'll get intrigued when he narrows it down to three or two schools, and we're still in the hunt.

He's treating SJU the way SJU treated him during the recruiting process: as an afterthought.

Shamorie mentioned that he was going to text Rawle right away about teaming up and Rawle took to Twitter to congratulate Shamorie. Does this commitment help with landing Rawle at all or is there still slim to no chance?

Personally, I don't think Ponds' commitment helps or hurt when it comes to landing Alkins.  I, once believed we had a slim to no chance of landing Alkins.  But, I believe those chances are little better now.  Does that mean I think we'll land Alkins now?  No.  Just think they are better than slim to none. 

Basically put, (IMO) Ponds' commitment doesn't have any bearing on Alkins.

And then God said, "The first shall be last, and last shall be first."

Think he is on an unofficial visit to NC State this weekend.

Today, Zach reported  unofficial.

I'm sure most knew he was clownin' around.  Too early for April Fools jokes.  That one wouldn't have even been a good one.

Checked up on Rawle Alkins' tweet. He hasn't committed to Buffalo, a source says. "He's messing with everyone."

This guy really loves attention

Seems like the case. That is why some people insist he just has us on the list to keep the NYC fans and some media that follow the team intrigued. Personally I have no idea if his interest is real but he is a very good player who is local so might as well throw everything at him but have strong options in 2017 as a backup with Ahmed and Ponds as well.

Stunt today is why I've stated St. John's has no shot. Just stringing along.

Wouldn't be the first local kid to string us along so not shocking. Also if that's accurate then it's still all good because the staff has been all over the place. Not like our eggs are all in that basket at all. This staff has done a great job getting in on a lot of kids.

Do not under estimate the relationship between Slice and the CK Family.

How dare you say this?  Those SJU fans with a hard on for NY kids will revolt.
