I know you have looked at some of the detritus that has been picked up out of the transfer portal. Are you saying that Jones is not as good as ANY of them?

Jones is an above average defender that can create his own shot against the other team's better defenders, and passes the ball. He played in a sloppy mess of an offense last year, but his numbers were not that bad at Depaul. It is definitely strange that he is getting no interest at all.

David Jones is also a second-time transfer who is not a grad transfer.

That means a waiver is needed for him to play next season.

Inherently, that makes players like David Jones much less attractive, especially with so many other pieces moving.

If Jones was a first-time transfer, that'd be a different story.

Looks like Pitino is starting to build something there at St. John’s.. it didn’t look good when all his players were transferring out… now he’s bringing in some pretty good players…might have been his plan all along… I hope they are good next year… it’s good for the big east

I don't care. I hate St. John's. They can't lose enough for me. Honeymoon for Pitino? Uconn fans wishing him well? Over. Blank them.

I have no idea what his academic status is, but your point is reasonable. Jones would have two years of eligibility, right? A 4th year and a Covid year?

Creighton adds another solid portal addition with multiple years of eligibility remaining.

The former #96 recruit of 2021 class, Johnathan Lawton was solid in his redshirt freshman season last year for Memphis.

The 6'6 190 wing played the 2 and 3 for Memphis, averaging 15.7 mpg, 41.3 3p% and 1.2a.

Creighton lacks guards, but they have a lot of talented wings, forwards and bigs.

Kalkbrenner, Scheierman, Miller and King return while they also added former #64 prospect from Virginia Isaac Traudt (6'10 230 with range).

I really liked Ali Ali when he played at Akron (was a 40+ 3P% shooter) but I guess the size/defense of the Big East bottled up his perimeter game.

The guy leaves, then goes back. It feels like basketball is only a couple of years away from players changing teams midweek.

Lawson leaving Memphis (the family's previously designated college of choice)?
Is he the canary in the coal mine for Hardaway's career there or did he not live up to the family's level of ability and Hardaway suggested he'd not get much time on the floor?

This happens a lot in the real world. If you can't establish a social circle (or basketball success) at your new school, makes a lot of sense to run it back.

I'm not surprised w/ the Dingle-St. John's connection. When Penn played Iona, his family had a huge contingency in the arena and I remember reading an article about Dingle's "homecoming" (he's from Valley Stream, LI, just 25 miles from New Rochelle and 10 miles from Queens).

RJ Luis is talented player too: UMass Twitter got on my case when I underestimated his ability in a season preview (I wasn't impressed with his tape, but I ate crow) while I'd bet Ware is a much more realistic pickup in the frontcourt compared to their 5-star ambitions.

Overall, St. John's will be a very fun villain this season.

So far..St Johns guard/wing signees ..Sean Conway/Daniss Jenkins/Cruz Davis/Nahiem Alleyne.. Maybe Dingle/Luis... Will be interesting to see how much PT Pitino finds for NA..

Edit: Glenn Taylor Jr
Expand ...

We would be in a much better place right now had NA hung around for his last year, too bad. Guessing if he was sure of Tristen and AJ there may have been a chance, but he wasn't into 15 minutes a game again. Well with Rick it could still happen unfortunately.

Glenn Taylor is going to be very good. Underheralded because he played on a turrible Oregon State squad, but lots of versatility in his offensive game.

Breakdown ability (45th best FTrate in the nation) played every backcourt position last year even at 6'6 190.

This kind of silliness belongs in the “Non-key Tweets” thread. Either he has news or he doesn’t.

Considering that Joe Tipton is the harbinger of most key portal related twitter news, IMO, nothing wrong with an early morning tease before sharing the actual news.

Fordham fans were salivating at the chance to have Massoud start for them at the 4 after a visit two weeks ago.

The Harlem version of Tyler Polley will have an opportunity to play multiple times a year at MSG. Solid bench pickup.

Kid can shoot it nice player off the bench
 
He was kinda Big Shot Bob on their run, hit a lot of daggers. They were really fun to watch esp Nowell & his adoration for Kemba!
 
More movement expected today. I'm heading out to the gym and then errands, so I expect this thread to be active by the time I'm back.
