Lovett

Maybe he can't sit on bench as a partial qualifier?

He sat there the whole first semester

Not at the MSG games, he sat with Owens behind the bench.

LoVett isn't a bad kid. He's not a dumb kid. He is a pain in the ass. It's why he's been all over the map. On court he'd fit in nicely with this team and was definitely worth the risk when going after him so late in the spring. I've been very consistent in saying I'm not a huge fan of his game. I was hoping structure + maturity would help him harness his natural ability. I still do.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave but his options are so beyond limited outside of St. John's. So while I think he might think grass might be greener it really isn't. He's gonna be 20 yrs old in 2 months, he'd forfeit next year, and wouldn't play his first game till he's almost 22. If he does stay I just hope he buys in and fits in.

Are his options still limited if he's eligible to play at say, Indiana next January? He's not the only kid who think he's a legend in his own time.

I'm not positive of all ncaa eligibility rules. Could be a possibility. He's still forfeiting a half a year then.

I guess waiting a few days is out if the question?
Is it possible he was allowed to sit on the bench while his eligibility was being appealed and not allowed to do so as a non-qualifier after all appeals were exhausted? That timing lines up perfectly with his absence from the bench.

The kid is really good. Hopefully he sticks around.  The notion  that Ellison is even on the same planet as Lovett as a PG is one of the most absurd opinions this board has ever seen.

I forgot you have so much youtube tape on LoVett to go on. It's amazing he's never missed a shot in 4 years of youtube clips.

It wasn't until seeing him play here and how much better he was than everyone else that I really expressed an opinion on him, but please feel free to fall back on your youtube quip whenever I call you out for something ridiculous. Just remember you saw Smith okay in person a lot and said he wasn't a Big East caliber player.  He did pretty well at Louisville from day one.

This is not just against Lovett but against a lot of kids who have transferred. You would think if the rumor was clearly out there and you had made up your mind to transfer or if you the rumor was complete bs you would just say it's bs. He seems to be feeding into it with all these tweets. I for one don't get too worked up over the actions of an 18 year old but he's killing some of our fans with this. Does he just love the drama this is causing?

Rumor has it that Stanley Kubrick is behind the Lovett clips

Maybe this rumor is about the wrong player? Someone on the team who couldn't afford to sit out another full year? No inside info just thinking out loud.
