Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 3831181, member: 5787"] To me, the biggest difference is St. John's moving away from a Matt Abdelmassih-led acquisition of talent from the transfer market (he's moved on to Nebraska) to a Mike Anderson led recruiting philosophy mostly made up of under-appreciated, hungry and tough high school recruits with good JuCo committs sprinkled in. I have no freakin' clue how underrated Champagnie was out of high school, Posh (similar to Myles Powell) was underrated due to his conditioning and Wusu is like a Grant Williams clone. Sure like any team, there are transfers on St. John's, but both guys are more of support depth players: Dunn as a microwave scorer off the bench and Toro is big depth. Based on Anderson's short time in the Big East and the type of guys he's brought in, I expect the '21 class to be good too. If Champagnie sticks around another year, St. John's will easily be a top-half Big East team next year and a penciled in March Madness team. [/QUOTE]
