    He is the dream scenario for us.

    The issue is going to be that he might end up being the most sought after transfer on the market.

    Not saying we have no shot, but there will be a LONG line for that one.

    The sooner they implode, Mullin gets fired, and they can hire a real coach the better.

    I thought they looked like they were headed in the right direction last year and Mullin might get the job done. This is not a good development for him (and them).

    With the amount of talent they have on that roster there is no excuse for being under .500 in the OOC portion of the schedule.

    They play 0 defense and if it wasn't for Ponds and Lovett their offense would be a mess.

    I just don't see the plan there.

    Their offense is a mess because Ponds and Lovett just shoot whenever they feel like it, wherever they are on the court.
    "He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

    From everyone I have talked to that is Mullins plan.

    He wants to run NBA style offense which is heavy ISO stuff.

    The problem is, unless you're one of two or three schools you don't have the personnel to run that.

    The only reason they score is because those two guys can make really tough shots.

    That could very well be. All i know is that the support for St. John's is there is they are competitive. The Gardens was rocking in the Big East Tourney when they played GTown, and the place was half full.

    There is a reason those guys played 32 and 33 minutes per game despite taking a bunch of awful shots.

    I know they are really talented, but at some point if they're not running the offense you want you have to make them earn their PT and sit them down.

    That never happened.

    He also was running NBA style defense with a heavy reliance on rim protection (they do have some guys who can do that) over help defense and clogging the lane. Didn't work out so well.

    Al Freeman would be an enormous get for us.
