"Majors are jumping into Poole"

July 7, 2008

Colleges are now starting to jump into the game of the driven sophomore.

"We just came back from the West Virginia Elite camp. He was on the same team as Tobias (Harris) and they won the team championship," says Blue. According to Poole, West Virginia offered him a scholarship.

Poole has also received offers from DePaul, Central Florida, UConn, Hofstra, Michigan State and St. John's but according to Blue, "If Mike could go to any school right now, it would be St. John's. (Coach) Norm (Roberts) called him the first day they could." Mike Poole chimed in saying, "Yeah, I want to be close to home. That's a big factor to me."

Thanks for the info oldred.
Nice to see the local kids seeing SJU in a more positive light.

we're ALWAYS on the top of the lists...until it's time to sign on the dotted line.  hopefully this will change when the new coach is brought in.

I don't think we're "always" mentioned in the "top" of the list. Maybe we're in the list but we're hardly the favorite. Its ok to accept good news for a change and it is encouraging that we're his favorite. The big gripe on Norm past few seasons was that we were getting on kids to late in the game and now we're on a high major sophomore's favorite school. Take it for what its worth and you're right it doesn't mean anything til we seal the deal however its encouraging good news.

It is obviously good news that he mentions us, but are not we recruiting too many shooting guards while there are no news about other positions (point guards, centers)?

I don't know about that, though - recruiting-wise the staff seems to be getting the attention of wings/ versatile guards, for sure, but by 2009 there are two pgs in the fold (boothe, stith, assuming nothing funny happens with his verbal) some guys who can supposedly handle the ball (edmondson, roberts). 

Staff needs to get some interest from big men, now.

Even though he's 2010, and the team doesn't have any scholarships to hand out (and if they do, it might be to JayVaughn Pinkston), I want to see this kid on the Storm.  He's from Rosedale, after all.

Pretty soon St. John's is going to change its name from the Red Storm to the Panthers...

Yea IS8....from what I hear its not the greatest gauge as the talent level there really fluctuates but I'll be personally scouting and shadowing quite a few number of kids this weekend.
