A St John’s booster told me today that the Johnnies are/were in the lead for Diop, Thiam and Freeman (we’ll see as to the two centers?) and all expected to sign this week. And that the British PG they got (Quinn Ellis) would have been the number 1 PG in the portal if he had played in the U.S.

I think the upper NIL numbers are more than $20-25 million now far from $10 million. Rumors are that Louisville just spent $9 million on Bidunga and Shelstad and is chasing John Blackwell from Wisconsin who is rumored to be seeking $5-6 million so if they sign Blackwell then it could be $14-15...

Great season overall! Michigan D was tough all night, they are big Nd athletic. We played the style we wanted but just didn’t have the shooting in the second half to do it.

The question about how much Luke would energize the fan base and donors is a legit one. Obviously it’s not like hiring Pitino or even an established HC so if he goes there, we will have to see. But the bar is not that high. And if he say asked BCU to commit to a $10M NIL budget, does anyone...

It’s been reported that Luke wanted NIL commitment. BCU could easily afford to spend the money, the school is in far better economic shape than SJU. Far better than many P4 schools. And they have many many wealthy alums. I am not saying that Luke is Pitino. All I am saying is that the...

This guy seems like an absolute perfect hire for the Friars! Watched the welcome presser (with 2K PeeCee fans in attendance!) and I think he is going to be a problem. The PeeCee games should be even more electric now.

SJU was a moribund program for more than two decades, absolutely nothing going for them, one coaching failure after another. No resources, commuter school, all they had really were hone games at MSG. Hire Pitino and three years later, look at the SJU situation. BCU is similar to me. There is...

Is this really a strong possibility? Lots of smoke on social it seems?

She has to go today. What a joke she is

Bull that they put us and SJU in the same region. God they hate the BE.

Big East will be underseeded of course. I think we get a 3 (maybe 2), SJU gets a 5 (maybe 4) and Nova gets a 9.

Guessing 3 seed in East region

One of the worst losses in a long long time. Too many mistakes on a continuous basis. How can you feel good about any postseason chances?! Just gifted St John’s a reg season championship.

Nope. UConn fan all along!

I would say most UConn fans would call Cuse our biggest rival. Some would probably go with Pee Cee next. After that, I would think UConn fans would go equally with SJU, GTown and Pitt. I just don’t think (until Pitino) that most of us hated SJU and Nova as much as Cuse and PC and maybe even...
