I wonder if this is one last money squeeze to try and get Repole to give him an even more ridiculous offer.

I remember hearing Jeff Goodman talk about this 2-3 weeks ago with Rob Dauster. I was shocked. Like Goodman said in the episode, it's not like Kentucky cannot afford. From that tweet, it looks like it's Mark Pope deciding against it. That's a mistake and he should be forced to have a GM. It's not a luxury, but rather a necessity, especially for a basketball first school and blue blood like Kentucky.
 
Just like last year, St. John’s misses on a critical position and needs to improvise.

Now I believe Gonzaga will be very good no doubt, but losing a recruit to Gonzaga seems like a bad look especially when St. John’s should have the clear advantage in this era.

That said if we can’t have Diop, glad it wasn’t Pitino

Looks bad for the BE - why a kid would want to go to Spokane to play in the new Pac12 makes little sense. It couldn't have been the $$.

They'll have that as well at PG & SG.

My guess is McCoy comes in behind McKenney and starts sophomore year. Reed feels like a backup. Cosby would be their three the following year. Can't see him going with a freshman starter anywhere.

Same issue with Duke, how could these kids be possibly cool with taking smaller roles in crowded rosters? Wasn’t it established most will try and go for PT as soon as possible, even money included?

This only becomes an issue for me if St. John’s was the only other BE team expected to compete. The teams with massive portal hauls need to take advantage and pull their weight.

Have you seen how Gonzaga uses their bigs the past few years? It makes plenty of sense from a basketball perspective before you even get to the money.

I guess he takes on the Ike role. Still hard to fathom opting for what is effectively a mid major and the P12. Constructive post - unlike the other guy, who struts around here as if he holds some holy position on the board.

Gonzaga hasn't been a midmajor in like 20 years. Before his season ending injury Gonzaga ran their offense through Huff and Ike in a dbl big setup, offensively they're more creative than StJ.

Diop's agent has had something like 10 guys play for Gonzaga. He clearly has trust with Mark Few
