Early Husky/ Storm Talk

The best rebounder of my lifetime is Rodman, he's 6'7. Barkley was the round mound of rebound, he's 6'5. Josh Hart gets 10 boards per game, he's 6'4. There's a lot more to rebounding than being tall and the Johnnies are great at rebounding the ball especially offensive rebounding.

Sure, case in point would be Samson. Just figured they’d be a bigger team from top to bottom given how good they are on the boards. Rare to have 4 guys that aren’t big for their position be good rebounders.

I hadn’t really looked at the SJU roster until now and I’m surprised they’re so good on the boards since they aren’t a big team. Zuby is listed at 6’9 240. Then Kadary, Scott and Luis are all between 6’5 205 and 6’7 215. Wilcher is the smallest. So We actually have a size advantage with Liam, AK and Reed.

For the record, there's 0% chance that Kadary Richmond is only 205 at 6'6". He's huge. Compare his physique to Stewart's, who is listed at 215.

Just going off his listed 6’5 205. Guess we won’t know for sure until the combine

Just watched the Marq\StJ game, they seem pretty similar - strong D, poor shooting, do well in the paint. Hopefully we can deny them easy drives and force them into jumpers and perimeter shots where they are weak. The FT shooting in that game... wth. Can't assume they will shoot that badly again from the line, that was borderline bizarre.

Ok cool. Great test. Big Bear. Liam. Let's go!

I think we get some huge Hass moments. He thrives in back yard brawls

Jeff Adrien was what, 6'6"?

This is what they are shouting in NY, violence. I cant get through the paywall but the headline says it.

St. John’s winning with style that’s throwback to what defined Big East: ‘Incredible violence’

It was like that a lot in the old days, too, back when there were two ranked teams on the floor and St. John’s was one of them, the way it was last night as they tested their No. 12 (with a b…
