The Holy Land of Hoops

Per Rothstein

Marcus LoVett & Shamorie Ponds are averaging a combined 34.2 PPG, 8.3 RPG, & 6.8 APG. 2nd best freshmen back court after Fox & Monk. #SJUBB

Two young exciting players for sure. I hope they grow and develop and turn St. John's around.

#FireMullin

With those two and Markus Howard at Marquette, Kamar Baldwin at Butler, and Myles Powell at Seton Hall there's some young excellent freshman guards in the conference.

Rush to be concerned about Mullin: unacceptable
Rush to be very optimistic about Mullin: acceptable

It's a long season, nice win but we will need to see more.

See you can't even accept the positive, you only enjoy the negative. 34 posts after a loss, multiple paragraphs a piece. And then posts like this after a win.

So, I don't know if anyone else saw this...last night Ponds posted a picture of a new BMW i8 with a caption "You welcome momma". My heart immediately sank. He's just an 18 yr old freshman...he doesn't understand that posts like this may trigger an NCAA investigation. I told him he should take it down and he did maybe 3 minutes later so it wasn't up for long. Now it could be a rental, it could be some shady agent who gave it to him, or it could be the program somehow giving it to him but in any case, he needs to stay under the radar. He has 20,000 followers...that's like all of MSG looking at your posts...he needs to be very careful. It reminds me of the scene in Goodfellas where they just succeeded with the Lufthansa heist at JFK with millions in cash and a day later, some of the mob guys bought their wives new cars, mink jackets, etc. Then Jimmy Conway angrily tells them to take it all back, because it brings way too much attention and can lead to an investigation.

I know there's a lot of shady dealings and Ponds is not even close to the first or the last one obviously. By the way, you guys heard it here first, I don't even think Redmen.com knows the scoop since they banned me...oh well their loss is HolyLand's gain I suppose.

Stop! You're still on Redmen, and there is plenty of proof. I'll just leave that one alone for now.

Your post is a reason Mullin should've had a ban on social media, once the season started. I'm almost positive more bad, than good, comes out of it during the season. IMO, Mullin needs to place an immediate ban on this stuff.

It's probably the same Beamer that Mullin used when he played at St John's.

Please show proof then love to see that which does not exist lol...I was banned about 4 yrs ago and it's permanent. You act like I'd beg to go back on there...I just don't give a rat's arse to be honest. Happy to provide HLOH with info instead. Much better forum.
