Kofi Cockburn visiting 6/29

Gag order is lifted as soon as KO money gets finalized?

As soon as the LOI is signed and faxed.

You really can't understand the difference between recruiting when coming a National Championship and recruiting when coming off 3 sub par seasons, zero tournament success, multiple transfers, and a new coach? Those are the facts!

We fired the coach, he replaced the entire staff, and by definition the program has a new culture. The new coach has had tournament success and a top 25 class at URI of all places. He's also brought in guys who helped places like Nebraska and Minnesota land talent.

I'm glad you're not the one giving the recruiting pitch.

Those might be the facts but there not the alternative facts! Counselor.

And once Hurley proves he can do all those things at UConn then they will be back on the map for the elite players. Until then it ain't happening.

Explain Precious Achiuwa

 

[StunningSteve]

lol. St Johns fans are wishing they had Coach Dan Hurley...

 

[jimva]

Bump. Let's get back on topic

So...

Will he commit?

Sorry man - the gag order has not been lifted on non public stuff.
Yes, it would help immensely if the KO and NCAA thing gets settled.

Who placed the gag order?

UConn

This guy would be the cornerstone to turning this ship around. Achiuwa may be Rudy Gay v2.0, like everyone I love Delaire’s game, Mitchell is intriguing, but this dude would be the biggest piece in turning a corner.

I want, for the first time in a while, to go into Cincy or SMU and not be worried that we’re going to get pushed around inside. Hurley said during the Road Show that his defense requires a shot blocking enforcer inside to cover for when we get beat....this guy is everything you need in that respect.

Cockburn is actually not a great shot blocker. More of an enforcer.

That seems to be his type rather than the Brimah types KO liked

Really want his dude. True, he is Danny’s type of center.

“And I have the perfect class for you at 10am - let me read you the description from the course catalog. I will show you where the classroom is when I take you on a tour of facilities”

No more of that BS.

You make great points and I certainly agree with most but Dan makes me think he can drive the culture he is bringing back to a “national power” therefore making it a destination of intrigue again. If he can somehow grab a couple top kids then magically deliver a post season at the dance it will have begun I think and not necessarily having to wait for multiple winning seasons. We will see I guess but this guy gives me hope no doubt.

Can we have a gag order on talking about the class schedule too?

 

[David 76]

No. The gag order only prevents him from telling us anything useful.

FWIW St. John’s has gotten crystal ball picks for Igiehon over the past couple of days. And Scottie Lewis. Abdelmassih is working some magic it seems. But if they end up there, it would take away some competition for Cockburn and Achiuwa.

 

[rip7774]

Who the heck is the little dude with eyes closed? Is this their star recruiter Matt (last name I can't spell)?

Man, we are all thinking this bro. So tired of being soft!!! Those days are over!

That's surprising. I'd thought both Lewis and Antoine were a package and Duke leans. But yes, it does help if the Johnnies focus their energy elsewhere. I've always felt that the staff has prioritized Cockburn over Igiehon, so this is of no concern imo.
