Congrats to Kadary. Wizards play at Cleveland tonight.
Excellent news! Good luck Kadary.
Once a Pirate, always a Pirate!
Once a Pirate, always a Pirate!
They have a core group on the books for next year a potential top 5 pick, kadary should make most of this, he is auditioning for the world
yeah cool but doesnt his Alma Mater now say Saint John's not SHU?
Idk, did he get his undergrad from Seton Hall?
Regardless, he played here for 3 seasons and was very good. 1 of only 13 Pirates ever to be All-BE 1st Team too
Kadary was a Seton Hall guy, even Rickie had to admit that the only reason he ended up at Johns was$$$, and more$.
And, for that, we SEton Hall people can be forever proud
I think most of us, if not all would have left for a million dollars at 21yrs old. Can’t blame him
Quick Rick must have taught him to get his shot off so soon. Learned a lot in his brief stay there.

Man, some guys have a weird sense of humor and dont let things go...
For the record, the worst yr as a 3 point shooter for Kadary was his yr with Quick Rick...hit them at .175

Perhaps you cant blame him but I'm not going to celebrate/hold him in high regard either. He didn't leave to go pursue some pro ambition, he chose to leave to go play for our rival.
or he left cause an extra mill might be helpful to him and his family.
We will never know. I was told they spent 15 mill this yr. I think for RP's main wishes, repole says yes. And hurting a local school while getting a 1st team all BE guy is a nice 2fer. I bet KR got a rather significant raise. Dont you?They offered him $1m more than what we did?
Definitely got a raise. But I don’t believe their offer was $1m more than what we offered.
Maybe $400k more - which I would still take a runaway.
Right. And I'm sure he cares more about the mil than how any SHU fan feels about him. Take the money and run, thats fine. I just dont care at all about his future success.
I heard it was $5m more plus the keys to one of Pitino’s houses or apartments. I mean if I was a Brooklyn kid and had a chance to play for one of the best coaches of all time in a packed MSG every night for a 30 win team, it would take that plus more to get me to leave
.All these kids are mercenaries now by and large so each fan will have to decide how they want to root for a kid who attends multiple stops. For all the deserved Budd Clark praise based on his recent play there is no guarantee he isn’t elsewhere next year.
Yes, Pitino is so focused on Seton Hall, there was definite motive for him to do that. Though odd he would do that on the one hand, yet publicly have Sha’s back in a big way last year and join Hurley in imploring all Big East schools and our commissioner to adapt to the times better than some have.
Many articles (including Braziller) say St John's NIL budget was 4M.
So , Kadary got anywhere between 1/3 and almost 1/2 of that and the rest of the team got peanuts. Don't buy it.
Lots of thoughts and feelings about this. Apologies in advance.
He graduated from the Hall, I think. That means it is his alma mater. (I cringe when hearing a non graduate referred to as an alumnus.)
Always liked his demeanor and never jumped on the "general soreness" issue.
But since he left us to play elsewhere, I can't subscribe to "once a pirate always a pirate."
Oddly, I don't feel that way about Andrew Gaze.
Wish him well with the Wizards.
You really believe that SJU spent $4M?
Better add in the Repole factor.
BTW, UConn was also noting that figure. But what they didn't say was how boosters supplemented the total figure.
I guess we are all mercenaries but most of us hold a far worse hand.
I believe a reporter that covers a team more than I do someone who just says stuff on a internet board.
You clearly from your comment don't understand how NIL works.I believe a reporter that covers a team more than I do someone who just says stuff on a internet board.
For instance, a major admin at SHU was talking to his counterpart at UConn this preseason and was told their school was only spending $4M on NIL and when told we were spending $6M he was stunned. But then you supplement UConn's figure by booster donations and the number increases by nearly 3 fold.
The same goes for SJU with Repole.
And BTW, I am not some random poster just saying stuff on the internet. I would think anyone here would know how accurate my contacts have been over the years.
Dan isn’t the year in question, not this years NIL budget for SJU?
We all know it’s closer to $10-12m this year if not more.
when Zack reported the $4m (March or April 2024 I believe) the schools could not contribute anything. It was only collectives or outside sources that could contribute to NIL the year that Kadary left us for them.
So an article from back then could not be reporting what the school contributed. Was Zach really off by 2-3 times their actual budget that year?
