So Saint Johns is looking like a lineup of
Dingle, should score a ton and compete for first team all big east
Wilcher highly ranked recruit, some have cooled on him but still should at least be good
Luis could be a bunch of guys, i feel like he fits best here
Taylor score double figures in a power conference
Soriano, talent to be all big east

Then off the bench, they have a top 100 recruit, jenkins, conway, alleyne, Ejiofar and a few other guys

That to me feels like a contender in the big east, if one of those guys off the bench or Wilcher really pops they could win the conference I think. This team is deep and has high end talent

I'm not sure how NIL plays in, could probably just pay him under (or over) the table money. But a recruited athlete can't get any financial aid as a walk on which is what came up in the Drummond and Akok recruitments

No need based aid? Are you sure?

Baffles me that Nahiem left UConn for the same role he will play at St Johns. A veteran guard/leader off the bench. I wish him the best tho.
Expand ...
It didn't look like the same role in April. I'm sure he realized Slick Rick was going to bring in more guys. But he's stuck now. Time to do your job.

Pitino already causing havoc in the Big East and a thorn in UConn's side. Top 10 coach and recruiter in NCAA history.

Explain how he’s been “a thorn in UConn’s side”. Not saying he won’t be. But he sure hasn’t yet at St. Johns

Honest question, which other team has as a board like this one?
Expand ...
Honestly, I think PC’s board and that includes the pay side is the 2nd most active in the BE. Marquette’s are also busy.

How did they feel about him before he left for SJ
Expand ...
To sum up the long-time season ticket holders I know, one of which is a co-worker of mine: while it's hard to displace away our opinions about his off-the-court choices, it's cool to see Pitino continue the winning tradition at Iona, but we'll see how long he lasts...how did Iona's boosters pull it off???

Yup. And I’m a huge husky fan, but if you ask me if I want an apt in Mansfield or Jamaica queens, I’m taking Jamaica queens 100 out of 100, so what’s your point?

Ugh. Not me. I’ve lost 2 car stereos there. I’ve only parked overnight there like 4 times!

This Alleyne situation looks like a big reason why it doesn't pay to commit early if you're a reasonably sought after recruit. Rosters are changing so much over the course of the transfer window, better off waiting and making sure you know exactly what situation you're signing up for.

Also, the idea that a top-40 recruit could "walk on" with a giant NIL bag is ridiculous to me. I'm all for players getting their money, but that just seems like blatantly gaming the system

I would not want to live in NYC or the 5 Boroughs today due to all the crime and violence from DTP policies. It's like Death Wish 3 or Ft Apache the Bronx in real life!

Jeez I wish I knew that before dragging my 8 month old daughter through trains and subway systems all weekend. We couldve been killed!

Just out of curiosity…would you let your wife take the subway unaccompanied at 1am or even 11 pm?

Back to the BE transfer portal. St. John’s transfer Mohamed Keita is on OV to South Florida today. What do you BYers know about him?

Isn't this literally how we got Drummond? It just wasn't "NIL" and allowed back then?

On the surface, this looks like a huge mistake by Alleyne. Dan Hurley would have ensured he had minutes in a familiar scheme on a Top 20 team. Plus, UConn is guaranteed national coverage.

Lol at preferring to live in the woods over the greatest city in the world.
Expand ...
Yeah but equating living in that part of Queens as being in the greatest city in the world is similar to living in a questionable section of Bridgeport and saying that you live in one if the wealthiest counties in the country. Technically it is a correct claim but the end result falls far short.

Jackson Heights and Flushing have character. Astoria, for all of its its shortcomings at least has some charm. There are quite a few places to live in the outer boroughs, Jamaica Queens is far down on the list, even if you limit it only to Queens.

Alleyne didn't just choose to leave UConn in a vacuum, he was already unhappy with his minutes all season and we were very openly going to recruit over him the same way St John's just did

We had 10 scholarships that year so I think we had fully intended to give Drummond a scholarship and legitimately just didn’t have them. Drummond has also talked about having to get a loan so I think it’s a bit different than NIL era. I didn’t really love it then either though.

As a 5th year guy, he was definitely trying to get more minutes to improve his prospects of playing pro. Have to think the assurances Pitino gave him didn’t come to fruition once they got other guys in
