SJU looks scary good this coming season. As much as I dislike Ricky P, he's a heck of a coach, especially when he can run out on the floor one good athlete after another. He's great at teaching pressure and trapping D, transition offense and fierce rebounding. Now tnis often plays well during the regular season but not always so good during the tournament where the officiating is not so friendly with high contact D and the more skilled scorers often carry their team.

I like and want a talented Big East, but not a big fan of St. John's or their coach. I don't know how he does it, deep NIL pockets and promises of PT maybe, but RP is pulling in some very talented players. Granted they'll all be new to each other but the pieces do appear to fit well. We'll find out come next fall.

I just hope we have all the pieces we need, such as a high talent and depth at the 4, and a 3rd 5 off the bench who can defend and rebound when needed. We seem to have most of the pieces albeit not college proven or seasoned. I like our new starting PG and backup, thanks to the portal. I'm hopeful.
