    Off-season thoughts

    Luckily we kept our guys this year as opposed to the mass exodus last year. Hope we can keep that up. As for athletes, we were not the most athletic team last year and we were pretty good on D. Kon and Procter were probably less than plus athletes, but they understood positional D. I think...

    I wonder about chemistry. We have scoring, we have length, and we have quality depth. I think whoever we get in addition to the current roster is icing, that assuming that we are getting another starter level player. But what about chemistry? Which one will push our bench guys to be better...

    It's hard for me not to be excited about the easy baskets a soph Pat and Frosh Cam are going to get. If there is any jump from our super Sophs, I am super excited for our group, no matter who else joins the fold.

    Maybe this kid is a long term project, I just hope we get two years and no injuries from Big Pat.

    We definitely need another big, just for practice sake.

    Touche' šŸ˜… but I also heard there is something to foreign players getting NIL, so there may be something there.

    I just saw a mock with neither of them in it. 2nd round at best imo. With NIL, who wants to play in Sioux Falls for $400k?

    I look at these mocks with ten teams in front of us, who on St. John's would we want on our squad? I get Purdue because they kept their core, but how far did that core make it, and who from them not named Braden would we want? I like our squad alot with just 1 more guy, even though we are thin...

    Maluach is still a story

    There is a Duke alum who works for NBA global working on this. It's my understanding that Man Man loves college and Duke, so if the visa issue forces him to come back, I doubt he will be devastated. I thought foreign players couldn't get NIL for some reason. Anyone know details on that ?

    Brown was who I was referring to as the best defender. Sorry for the confusion.

    True, but if you have to return guys, I like that we bring back a junior point guard, our biggest weapon off the bench and Big Pat, who I think is going to be a star. Not to mention, our best defender by far.

    I see a board full of guys (and maybe girls) that don't remember the jump Nolan Smith and the whole Duke program took from losing to VCU in the tournament to winning it all. Foster gave us great minutes last year and now he's ready for a bigger role. Same goes the rest of our returnees. I...

    I think deals are being made. Big Pat's Mom was negotiating his new deal as of Friday. It seems Slim was working out every day with Caleb, so I think our core is back, but that doesn't mean the business part of this has been settled.
