Naheim Alleyne to St. John's

[Huskyforlife]

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Alleyne better get very well conditioned this summer, because Pitino will need Alleyne to play a lot of minutes.

 

[Fatroony5]

This seems noteworthy…

 

[Huskyforlife]

So now the lineup is looking like it might be

Jenkins-Alleyne-Ledlum(Harvard transfer visiting)-Iona big who’s name I forgot-Soriano

Not the powerhouse I expected after learning some billionaire was gonna buy him a team.

 

[Punkbo]

Maybe I’m just old school, but intra-conference transfers seem so weird to me.

Ledlum is not a shoe in to st johns

 

[KingAG]

I know we’re supposed to say nice things. And I have. But this is disgusting. I can’t root for him next season now. It will have to wait another year. Nahiem is the enemy for 12 more months

 

[2Infinity]

Great fit for Naheim! We’ll have at least a couple games to be rooting against him though. Congrats and good luck Naheim!

 

[tuvent08]

I guess Slick Rick liked what he saw in the first round.

 

[Scoe]

So does Alleyne gets his championship ring in gampel in a St John’s jersey.

 

[HailUConn]

This move is head scratcher. Playing against us twice a year, really?

 

[Scoe]

Maybe I’m just old school, but intra-conference transfers seem so weird to me.

It is weird this is unprecedented territory. There’s no anger because Alleyne was here for 1 year as a rental now if this were a freshman or a sophomore and he transferred to St John’s then I might be a bit angry.

Sure, but they gotta get someone.

I’m with you. Thanks for help with Natty. from now on.

 

[wheelerdog]

I hope he's a star there. He deserves it

Remainder if message was forget you

So now the lineup is looking like it might be

Jenkins-Alleyne-Ledlum(Harvard transfer visiting)-Iona big who’s name I forgot-Soriano

Not the powerhouse I expected after learning some billionaire was gonna buy him a team.

The Iona big (Junior Joseph) went to New Mexico.

 

[HooperScooper]

But in all seriousness, I wish him good luck. Except in the games he plays UConn.

 

[JayKoz]

Yup, this is where my head is at.

Thanks for this year but this is like a backstab.

See ya.

 

[Greedo]

He wants a lot of minutes so he can show out for the next level (Europe I’m assuming). St. John’s is a guarantee he’ll get to have ample opportunity to display his skill set.

He helped to win #5. No ill will towards this move.

 

[Huskyforlife]

The Iona big (Junior Joseph) went to New Mexico.

Wasn’t there another Iona forward that committed to St. John’s or am I crazy?

 

[Marat]

Yup, this is where my head is at.

See ya.

I don't view it that way
Floyd to PC was another story.

They have seven players now?

Jenkins (Iona) PG - Conway (VMI) SG/SF- Alleyne (UCONN) SG/SF - ??? - Soriano

Bench:
Davis (Iona) - SG
Keita - C
Traore - PF


Solid but not outstanding. They need a starting PF at least and probably someone who averaged more than a bucket from the bench.

 

[JayKoz]

I’ll root for him out of conference, that’s about all I can do.

It’s just a very weird taste in my mouth watching someone transfer to a conference rival, that’s all.

 

[auror]

2 guards. Daniss Jenkins and Cruz Davis.

He was getting squeezed out of the rotation. I'm not going to begrudge the guy for that. St. John's is barely a rival and they have a ton of PT. If he wants to go to a place with 2 guaranteed losses and at least 1 home game with more away fans than home fans, that's fine. I'll root for him for every game except those 2.

 

[husky99]

Best of luck (minus playing uconn)and thanks..
He got endless minutes

 

[ScottCT]

Since when have we started viewing St Johns as rivals? They've been irrelevant all my life.

I still don’t like them, maybe it’s just me.

I’m not actually upset with him lol. It was tongue in cheek. It definitely sucks that we have to play him at least 2 times next season. Hopefully we honor him when they come up to storrs. Still I’d much rather him had ended up in another power conference
