[rutger80]

Per Zagoria, ace recruiter Barry "Slice" Rohrssen is leaving St. John's. Big blow to Mullin and the Johnnies

St. John's and Slice to Part Ways https://www.sny.tv/college-recruiting/news/st-johns-and-slice-to-part-ways/182734524?tcid=tw_article_182734524…

Interesting, wonder what the whole story is here.

Obviously not money for Slice , he was making 450K, after earning 375K at Kentucky the year before that......Goes to show you how far RU has come in a very short time with the hires of Karl Hobbs and Knight, both earning 300K respectively.....

Perhaps he rejoins Jamie Dixon to try and recruit NYC for TCU, which would be odd in itself....

WOW...that is unexpected....

If we get a staff shake up anytime soon...(which I hope not)....he would be my first call to sign on as an assistant

 

[RU82]

So he's leaving without a new destination?

That's, um....curious.

Difference in recruiting philosophies!

 

[higgins3]

A head coach wants the majority of the power of what goes on and then the assistant(recruiter) feels like he has no power after recruiting is done. Make sense.

Difference in recruiting philosophies!

Probably disagreements over the size of the rolls of cash to offer prospective recruits.

The Slice situation certainly hurts St. John's. There have been rumors going back many months that there was friction between Slice and another assistant - Matty A. I chalked it up to typical nonsense that you hear about all the time. I was obviously dead wrong. When one considers how close Mullin and Slice have been it is a stunning development. I suspect Slice will have numerous offers to choose from even if he waits a season.

Reading the thread's title I thought this may be related to the mixed martial artist who passed this week.

 

[MADHAT1]

Understandable. Rohrssen wants to be King. And then there's Kimbo Slice, MMA. lol

Don't get your lol over someone who died .
Understand how Twister thought it might be about Kimbo Slice, but hard to figure out how your lol fits.

I thought no more pizza concessions.
