OT: St. John's coaching search

Here's what the "winner" will get:

"The coach who replaces Mullin will have a roster in flux. Leading scorer Shamorie Ponds turned pro after the season ended, and Marvin Clark was a senior. The Red Storm's top recruit, highly touted junior college point guard Cam Mack, recently requested his release from the school, and four-star junior Nate Tabor decommitted in the wake of Mullin's departure. There are no 2019 or 2020 prospects currently committed to St. John's.
Meanwhile, St. John's redshirt junior Justin Simon has signed with an agent and declared for the NBA draft. Simon was one of the best defenders in the country and would have been a top returnee for the next coach. Additionally, sophomore guards Bryan Trimble Jr. and LJ Figueroa have entered their names into the transfer portal."

definitely a better situation than what Brannen is walking into at Cincinnati.

"A roster in flux??"
More like non existant.

Goes without saying that a lot of these coaches purposefully put their names out there angling for a new contract with no intention of leaving the school they’re at. St John’s isn’t a bad job, it’s just a bad job at the moment. Have to think this helps us in the short term as we compete for the same recruits.
 
That first snippet from Zags makes it seem like this goaround not the last time. Clickbait

Repole saying that the school president is out by the end of the week and he’s paying the buyout? lol. This interview is hilarious.

I listened to the interview while I was driving home from work and I was locked in for every second of it. I found it interesting, and that guy Mike Repole is intense. You can tell he cares about the school.

Jon Scheyer is the latest name being thrown around. Imagine throwing a young coach with no experience into this dumpster fire? lol.

With such an open-minded, massively well educated fan base of the stain, what could possibly go wrong with a guy with zero head coaching experience and limited local contacts adding some diversity?
 
Offer the job to Odom and be done with it. He is young, and with enough upside that the fan base might actually end up a bit excited.
 
No one giving Fat Boy credit in their tweets for having the guy on his show to give him a platform to rant. LOL.

That was the first time I ever heard him actually let a guest speak.

Couldn't kiss the guy's a## enough, right? For me, Mike jumped the shark when Dog left but I put up with all of his BS and still tune in simply because of his love of JC and what he built at UConn. You never know when Rip Van Cessa will throw it into a conversation.

Just yesterday he said the best two program builders he's ever seen were Jim Calhoun at UConn and Bill Snyder at K State in Football.
