If I’m stony brook (and Hofstra) I’m looking at the whole st John’s roster right now.. with pitino going there I’m hearing a lot of the team will be leaving.. it seems like Andre curbelo (Illinois transfer, from Long Island) is sucking up to speedy.. he’s tweeting at Hofstra & speedy and liking their tweets.

I could see Hofstra getting a transfer, but not SBU. What has Geno done for anybody lately?? Nothing. He sucks as a HC, and players know this

I got a like on Twitter out of Jamel Warney when I tagged his name about SBU desperately needing an HC, and that they need to hire Warney. This is the very first time Warney acknowledged anything associated with his name with coaching and coming back to SBU to coach. Maybe I am reading into this way too much. But it's a start and a spark. Maybe if people start throwing his name out there, the President will take notice.

Although it would be pretty cool to see Warney at SBU, I'd like him to get some coaching training somewhere first (can be at SBU as an assistant).  Just remember though, being a great player doesn't make you a great coach.  Ewing was a great player, and a great guy, and years after putting in his dues as an Assistant, he flopped big time at Georgetown.

I understand your point but there are many former NBA and professional coaches who are and have coached in college and did quite well. Speedy from  Hofstra is just one example of a recent hire in the CAA.

I think Warney would be great for recruiting, and bringing in some talented high school kids is something this school has not seen in a ver long time..

Curbelo to Hofstra would sting. TSM and Policelli were teammates of his. But i believe there are other Luhi Products on St Johns roster who should be targeted by SBU. Curbelo at Hofstra would be a problem in the CAA.

I actually just watched a YouTube of Curbelo and TSM practicing together.. seems like Frankie is tight with curbelo too.. would be a huge pick up, but just a dream.. I would love to get pinzon too, another luhi product lol.

Of note: we need roster spots to get anybody and right now, by my calculation, we don't have any. That could all shift pretty quickly of course.

The last thing we need at the moment is another small guard – yes, I'd love to clear room for him. You also have to take the good with the bad with Curbelo. He cannot shoot and some of his turnovers are real head scratchers. But lots and lots of good too.

Of the LuHi guys, I think Traore is more realistic and a better fit.

I agree on Drissa Traore  i also would bet Policelli leaves and try to cash in on NIL or overseas. I think it would a smart move to try and go back to A10 like the Bonnies. Seen a lot of flame outs who try and transfer up. Best case if Policelli leaves he gets Traore to fill his spot as a starter.

According to the sju fans and sources on the Twitter spaces, pitino will want to pick the players from the transfer portal, and possibly even have some players decommit from schools to come to sju. The current sju players will have an option to stay on the team of course, but playing time will become an issue for them.

"The one thing I want to be honest with is a lot of the players probably won’t be back on this team because they’re probably not a good fit for me."

What a wild thing to come out and say.

But when Deion Sanders walks into the first meeting and tells the players to hit the portal because he's bringing his "luggage" with him from JSU it was okay? Not looking for a fight or anything, just seeking clarification.

maybe its because pitino is 70 with a six year contract and a full mandate from the university (?).  he's had a lot of success at many stops so he may be feeling good.  money isnt the issue.  i heard he's got a winged foot membership too. 

or maybe he's just being honest.  or maybe the university told him to get new players.  maybe he spoke to the team and realized many are already leaving?  obviously this is all conjecture!

they hit a home run with this, now all that's left to occur is the letdown.

I also seen a quote which I guess shows there were issues on this past St John’s roster-

Rick Pitino: “I asked about the character of the basketball team. To be honest, I didn’t get glowing reports, but I did get a glowing report on Joel Soriano. We’re gonna bring him to a level he didn’t even think he could reach.”

BTW, FDU didn't even search for a new HC. They promoted an assistant to lead the team.
