What could happen...

...from what I'm hearing.

Repole is pushing hard for Lavin to be out. No new news there however Repole may be losing steam with administration for trying to control the situation completely.

If Repole is pushed away the school will either resign Lavin to a 3 year extension or they will turn to Chris Mullin. Mullin has strong ties to Slice dating back to high school and he'd most likely be his #1 assistant. Others may include alumnus Matt Abdelmaasah from Iowa St.

Money talks and Repole would want to bring in Danny Hurley or Bobby Hurley as his top choices. While I thought Danny would be difficult to pry from URI this year it might not be as difficult as I anticipated. However Bobby may be even ahead of Danny in the pecking order as top choice. I've heard conflicting stories on who is 1,2.  Jared Grasso will probably be linked to either's staff.

Massiello, Pitino, and others were not in the mix at the moment.

I'm not completely sold on idea Chris Mullin or Bobby Hurley but they aren't bad options.

If I had to place a bet I'd say that St. John's probably just extends Lav.

Dave, Is there a timeline it deadline for all these decisions fall this to GI down...If Lavin is being extended and he knows it he can resume recruiting duties with confidence...Anything else will be a mad dash to find staff and players.

Good stuff Dave, thanks for sharing

How much has Repole paid? How much will he pay for new coach?

I heard the same thing about Mullin and D Hurley being the top choices if they part ways with Lavin.

Do they really think they could pry Slice away from UK? 

Have the spoken to mullin or either hurley?

 They aren't going to talk to someone while they have a coach under contract, and if they do, it wouldn't certainly not be made public.. 

they will turn to Chris Mullin. Mullin has strong ties to Slice dating back to high school and he'd most likely be his #1 assistant. Others may include alumnus Matt Abdelmaasah from Iowa St.

Well this would be insane.

When is this meeting supposed to take place?

 Insane as crazy good, or insane as crazy stupid?

Well somebody is leaking something if some people are hearing the same names.  My guess is Repole.

Also Mullin scares me.  I love Chrissy but for every Fred Hoiberg you get a Sidney Lowe or a Clyde Drexler or a Eddie Jordan.

 Please never say Chrissy again, fordham...   

 New President isn't going to be a slave to Repole and his $$.  Needs to make his own mark.   Repole is the guy that brought in Lavin, lets remember that also.   He's not a GM... He doesn't deserve do over after do over.

I don't like the idea of Mullin as coach.  It only appeals to the fan base that so desperately wants to hold on to the glory days.  Talk about a gamble...

Not sure on timetable.

Also for Slice if the money was right its better situation than UK. Less pressure, longer leash.

I'd sign up for it. I might even root for him.

Yes but so was Pitt and he left Jamie Dixon and a familar situation for UK.

I can't claim to know the reasons behind his every move. I'm assuming money + security was better at UK than at Pitt.

IMO If Bobby Hurley is attainable he has to be on the SJU sidelines starting next season. If we miss out on the Bobby Hurley boat because we extend Lavin or hire Mullin this program deserves the mediocrity it will endure for the next decade

Please never say Chrissy again, fordham...

Fordham still can't let go of his 18 year old Chrissy Evert image...
