Oh man. Poor Memphis. I feel so so bad for them. They were so convinced. 

Memphis did snag PJ from Tulsa

Sorry, but this is not the move up I thought he would get.

St. John's is a top 5 Big East team (a "High Major" conference).
They play big home games in MSG.   It's a great landing spot for him.  He'll get a ton of eyeballs on him there.

Who beat us by one.  True, Pitino, NYC and MSG are attractive, and they have history on their side, but is this currently really that big of a jump?

I wish him well, but it is far from what I expected.  Then again, St. John's has landed some solid transfers.

Time to consider how much our piss-poor NIL and attendance issues resonate with the players.

Anyone know if the AD does exit interviews with players to understand their motivation for leaving...or maybe even an inquisitive journalist could do some digging?  Are there any common themes, do they change over time or is each case unique?

Excellent idea.  I bet the sport head coach perhaps knows the answers, if the player feels like talking to them about it.

I wish fans were given more info.  Probably like HIPA rules...don't ask, don't tell.

On the face of it, St. John's doesn't sound very impressive.  Nothing like Rubbin going to Michigan.

I looked it up, St. John's actually averaged over 10k a game last season.  Many voices have been telling us over the years that we need to pick up our attendance if we want to be able to get to the next level.  I don't doubt that at least played some part in losing Aaron to St. John's.

St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation.  They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

Yes, I am aware of all that, and remember when they were very good back in the 80's or so.  But, as you said, they haven't been very great lately, and had pretty much fallen off the radar until a long-past-his-prime Pitino went there.

It's probably the easiest place in the country to recruit since you literally never have to leave your own city and you are playing in the most famous venue in the world, in arguably the best basketball league in the country year to year (though I believe that's the ACC).  Any coach who gets that job will be able to afford living in NYC given they pay handsomely there.

 

They are 9th in all time wins, have numerous NIT championships (some when it was arguably the better tournament than the NCAA and could be considered National Championships), 30 NCAA appearances, nine Sweet 16s, two Final Fours, etc..

 

Yes, SJU has been down as of late, but is one of the best jobs in the country.

      The Band

      I know this isn't the most important topic, but I was curious as to what others thought. I live across the country so I can't attend games unfortunately, but from watching it on TV is it just me or has the band declined in quality in the last few years? When the camera shows them they look undisciplined/inattentive, some are just wandering around chatting. I see other bands together and ready to play as soon as a play is over. The size seems to have ballooned and now sprawls across 2 sections of the stands, and despite that they sound worse. The director also doesn't seem to know that the purpose of the band is to hype up the team/crowd, and put pressure on the opposing team on 3rd downs. Play something intimidating on 3rd down! When they do play it seems like they just have a bank of songs they go through in order without considering the situation on the field. The selection of music is bad, and it doesn't seem like they have any variety of songs to connect with the crowd, many bands will play classic and modern hits to get the crowd into things. Like I said I don't know if this is true or not since I can only judge on what I see on broadcasts, what's the in-game experience like?

      What is this program missing?

      I think if you did the G5 national championship thing....and the players only got the schollie and a stipend.......I think it would draw fans like crazy. I think there are loads of folks who want amateur athletics to stay amateur. With what we draw and get in donations.....there is no way we should be paying a football coach over $1m. No way. So yeah amateur athletics, tighten the budget. These coaching staffs are huge now. Do folks not know that we now have a bigger recruiting staff.....than Hayden Fry had for an entire staff. He had six assistants. And it was better, more imaginative football. But this will likely never happen. As all these schools think they're just a break away from the "big time."

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      This. Unless/until the BOR and Administration decide to "...make winning at revenue sports a priority", we will only have the occasional good season more or less by accident.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      We all know you hate baseball. If you make a dollar selling a ticket, it's revenue, and a revenue sport. Profit is different. Few college sports make a profit for an Athletic Department at the G5 level. Baseball (as opposed to golf, swimming, track, etc) would lure fans to campus in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and merchandise. It's not always about making money (profit)...it's keeping relationships with fans and alums year-round. Non-revenue sports aren't doing it.

      Agree, I would like to see some of these guys get some meaningful minutes just to see what they have. It's hard since we don't see them in practice every day like Hodge does.
