Saw that Baylor and Oregon are interested.
Oregon just grabs every Big East transfer that it can get... the Ducks seem to be always meddling with Big East recruits too...
Baylor... who knows what happens there...

The person who broke jakarr and Sampson leaving via Twitter is now saying two more may leave

Man, is St. John's going to have to field all walk-ons next year?
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

what seems to be the issue with Lavin. I thought it odd when he took the job but I just chalked it up as I don't know as much about St. John's situation. I know it's not an oddity of sorts in D1 ranks where some of the players don't live on campus and then Lavin came out of the tv studio to coach in NYC. Sounds like a mess. Who would be the list of coaches interested in John's?

I think someone within the region makes more sense, it's a New Yorker's job. I'll bet Howland would like a do over.

Sucks for the league for SJU to look this disfunctional. Probably doesn't help Lavs that 4 of NYC's top players are going to SHU next year too. The local college bball buzz will definitely be in Newark at The Rock next year.

Jordan and Greene are next. Greene no one cares but Jordan is the best recruit in the Lavin era and a future conference POY. Something is seriously wrong. Only a matter of time until it comes out.

Currently getting my jersey tailored to my 5'10 frame to suit up. I'm starting next year after all. I can't dribble that well but I can shoot around at a gym sometimes with no one covering me

I like the under the table kick there. Seton Hall is never the NYC team…they are the Jersey team. And we all know why IW ended up at SHU and not SJU. Some coaches will do anything for a recruit including shattering morals. He was willing to do that and he landed him via his pimp handler. But yes SJ is dysfunctional.

Lavin has to be fired. No way he stays after this. I've never heard of a team that might need all walk ons in the Big East…seriously wtf?

What is going to happen to their APR if everyone keeps leaving?
