Naheim Alleyne to St. John's

[superjohn]

Man this thread turned ridiculously stupid. It's made even worse that the kid helped win us a championship and the thread title hasn't even been changed.

Psyched for Nahiem!

what dofkc do you know rick about pitino? old head

 

[Beowulf]

im probably going to root for him even when they do play UConn. We just won a championship what’s the matter with some of you

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Best of luck to Nahiem against everyone but UConn. Also rooting for him and Nika!

 

[Fishy]

I said I was being facetious, I can’t stand St. John’s and seems I’m in the minority here.

You are not. Or maybe you are. But I’m with you.

I think the real victim in all of this is that little Virginia Tech girl.

She’s gonna have to wear a St. John’s jersey in one of those hostage videos her parents like to put on Twitter.

 

[Madmannsucks]

Not the same since Mike Torrez went to the Red Sox.

 

[Ratso]

whatever happened to going to another conference?

Weird choice. I guess he doesn't really have loyalty to UCONN going to an arch-rival. Does he really think he will start for St. John's when that roster is completed? Maybe Pitino knows this will be a bridge year for him and won't really have his team until the following year. It does feel like a back stab. Weird times in college basketball.

Must've been funny in your head.

Someone please lock this disaster of a thread.

[KingAG]

On the “disaster thread” scale of 1-10 this thread is a 2. I haven’t seen anything heinous

 

[AdamaNation]

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.

What about Akok?

 

[AdamaNation]

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

And a good call. I always felt the castle and ball tumors pushed him out more than anything else

 

[KingAG]

What about Akok?

You enjoyed playing against Akok?

 

[Scoe]

What about Akok?

Ya him too.

 

[Ratso]

 

[Scoe]

What about Akok?

He wasn’t in our plans as he wasn’t playing much so while akward to see him on Georgetown I wasn’t upset either.

 

[navery12]

You enjoyed playing against Akok?

Yes but that was because I like UConn winning games

 

[HooperScooper]

Does he really think he will start for St. John's when that roster is completed?

You do realize he was a 3 year starter at Virginia Tech, which was an NCAA Tournament team all the years he was there (2020 NCAA Tournament was cancelled)? He happened to be on a loaded team last season and then he was one of the first guys off the bench. He is a good college player. I'd be shocked if he doesn't start at St. John's next season. Who else do you think Pitino is getting?

 

[KingAG]

Yes but that was because I like UConn winning games

I don’t enjoy playing against former beloved players.

 

[pj]

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

But only a few hours from his girlfriend and in a P6 school with NIL and plenty of minutes. No other place to get all of those.

 

[MJKI]

Happy for Alleyne. Gonna be nice that he doesn’t have to leave UConns home campus since he’ll be playing at MSG

 

[tcf15]

Oh snap praying for CFJ.

Nahiem played fewer minutes this past season than he did in each of his three seasons at Virginia Tech and will likely get more at St. John’s. He accepted his role and played it exceptionally well and helped to win a championship. Look at his ig post, FWIW- teammates and coaches (Dan, Luke) liked the post. They support his right to make the choice and appreciate what he meant to UConn.

 

[ElGreco]

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

Pitino to Pitino.

 

[ElGreco]

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

Noooooo

We all do. From what I’ve gathered
