Mat Abdelmassih: "This is the one job I always said I would come walking back to."
Matt Abdelmassih: "We want to foster relationships where the city kids are expected to go to St. John's."
This notion that the talent isn't here in NY is ridiculous. If we take care of our back yard we will be good year in, year out.
Talent in NY stinks
Your kidding right?
2015 - Diallo, Briscoe, Richardson, Bryant, Diagne, Lydon, Govan, and McDuffie
2014 - Towns, Whitehead, McCullough, Larrier, Delgado.
2013 - Johnson, Roberson, Lawrence, Cameron, Sina, Facey.
I'm not saying focus only on the NY/NY kids, but every year there are a handful of 4/5 star kids that come out of the area and if we landed just 1-2 of them a year we would have sustained success.
Kentucky is in the FF, and they have 3 kids from this list. I don't think they believe the talent stinks.
Sure there maybe more talent coming out of FL, TX and CA, but we don't need quantity, we just need to land 1-2 of them a year.
