NFT: SJU / Recruiting

They are tight. That's how Slice got him to Pitt. Now...

Also, Heron and another 2016 kid, Rawle Alkins are AAU teammates on the NY Rens.

Have to close the deal on the 2 big fish in 2015 this weekend.

Diallo getting in home visits from both KU and SJU this weekend.

Sampson is more of a long-shot.. but could have as much impact as anyone. Gym-rat type.. that may really like Mullin. Let's hope.

Big big weekend

"Mullin and his staff have been active in trying to build a relationship with Sampson and those close to him, and they will meet in person for the first time this weekend. Sources said Sampson is attracted to everything about St. John’s — from the school itself to playing home games at Madison Square Garden and the notoriety he would get playing in a major media market such as New York City. He almost certainly would start right away at St. John’s, another bonus."
Chris Mullin embarks on 2 most crucial recruiting challenges - ( New Window )

@marcus_lovett:
Top choices in order

• St. John's
• Memphis
• Illinois
• UCI
• DPU
• Pitt
• UNLV
• SDSU

Would hope he will actually be eligible if he does come.

all signs pointing to LSU.

Again imo

it's LSU. Oh well, good luck to the kid.

Doesn't sound like we're getting Diallo, either. We'll see, probably need at least one of him and Sampson to compete next year but it's not a big deal, just get this ship moving in the right direction

@NYPost_Brazille: Ron M'Vouika actually played PG growing up in France, so he can handle the ball. Known as a shooter, but is also a playmaker. #sjubb

Also both De La Rosa's brothers are transferring.

Staff going after SG/SF Malik Ellison.

@AdamZagoria: Malik Ellison will take an unofficial to St. John's next week after he received an offer today, source confirms to @SNYtv

Good sign that we came in late and offered him and he is coming in for a visit.
Breaking down impact + game of new transfer Ron Mvouika - ( New Window )

We did grab 2 good pieces in Sima and Williams already

I'm no sure about Lovett. He seems like an issue grade wise
