Roster updates

No more hardship waivers.

No more hardship waivers.

No, but they'd give him sixth year. 

Is Jay Henderson getting a scholarship?

Scholarships have to be earned. Does the kid even like basketball. He doesn't play like it.

@AdamZagoria: Malik Ellison, Durand Johnson, Federico Mussini, Georgios Papagiannis in mix for St. John's after they missed out on Diallo.

Land the four of 'em, and we can start talking about putting a "more than average" team on the floor for the '15-'16 season.

Somebody would have to go

3 ships left.
And I still don't see how Christian sticks around.

If they are serious about landing the above-mentioned (one has already committed with another one probably soon verballing), then there is no way Jones sticks around, IMO.

Should have never redshirted the kid and now it is unfair to make him leave 

You make a good point.  Unfortunately, this is what can happen when a new staff comes in.

Didnt he miss most this past off season due to knee surgery?  Seemed to really hinder his explosiveness. Kid has not had it easy and was not utilized well, but he didnt do himself any favors with the playing time he did get in BE play. I still like him and hope he stays. Maybe with a center in Chris and a forward in Darien who can both rebound and cover space, Jones will find a spot.

Is Jay Henderson getting a scholarship?

No, he is a lottery pick. 

It would be nice to know how our "commits" stack up with LOIs. 

Is the deadline for LOIs sometime around May 20th?

Now that Pandora's Box finally opened (big recruits not signing NLIs at all), the trend will continue until most top 25 recruits wind up not signing at all.  It's a long time coming.  I think it's good for the top recruits to have some protection.  Diamond Stone just started next season's avalanche to be...

You'd have to think that there is a PG (and/or  his people) that see St. John's as a PG away from being very nasty the next 3-4 years.  The future is so bright here.  There is just one glaring hole at point. 

When I look at the rosters coming up the next few years--with the possible players we can add--it's just awesome.  The one spot I keep having to leave blank is PG.  Hopefully we get the answer soon.

There is a great feeling now, not just about the recruits we have landed in a short period of time, but the entire recruitment philosophy being espoused by Coach Mullin and his staff.

Coach Mullin seems to go for the blended approach in recruiting with players covering several years of play.  This is a good step forward in redeveloping our basketball team into a St. John's Basketball Program.  Something that has been missing for some time!

@AdamZagoria: St. John's commits Malik Ellison & Yankuba SIma have yet to sign but are expected to soon.

Any Eli Carter info lately?  I'm a little behind.  He would be a good get and has been linked.

I felt it was a matter of time, and didn't expect him or CJ to be back.  I'll let all of you confirm, never want to speculate on transfers.

I saw his name on that ESPN list, but not sure this is true.

What wall? There's 4 walls! (Honeymooners line). 

If its true, its realistic. All new coaches and all new system v last year. He can see his position is being recruited heavily. He couldn't expect to see a lot of light this year, and will only get worse if Mustapha or Rawle come on board.

He would still have four years of eligibility left because he wasn't on scholarship last year.

I believe he still has to sit out.  And will lose year of eligibility.
