So the President of the Board of Regents and Board of Trustees, Cardinal Joseph Tobin is launching an investigation into how he and his board did or did not follow the recommendations of the last investigation as pertains to Reilly.

1) In 2019 we hire law firm Lathan & Watkins to investigate the McCarrick situation and make recommendations.

2) Then, we hire the Gibbons Law Firm to prepare a Responsive Action Plan based on the above investigation.

3) Now, we are hiring law firm Ropes & Gray to investigate the process related to the above 2 law firms. Tobin says, "The review by Ropes & Gray will include how the findings of these reports relate to Monsignor Joseph Reilly, including whether they were communicated to any and all appropriate personnel at the Archdiocese and Seton Hall University and Monsignor Reilly, and if so, by what means and by whom."

Tobin was put in Newark by McCarrick

It's a quarterly, and I'm sure it went to print prior to this Politico story.

I put Creighton and Marquette right up there with Uconn and SJU.

Both Creighton and Marquette keep their best players and can/do attract BE talented players (Marquette has it seems deliberately chosen to stay away from the portal).

When it comes to keeping their best and attracting BE talent, even top tier talent, I think Nova, Xavier and Gtown are right there too. Look at Nova's past 2 offseasons. Or Gtown.

Even Providence hasn't lost anyone it seems they want from the portal. Cooley wasn't able to lure Hopkins, as an example. Nor other schools, even though Kim English had that Twitter rant over the summer where he was suggesting that other teams were openly trying to steal Hopkins from him (I thought it was Gtown, but other internet sleuths were speculating it was Depaul/Holtman).

Yeah Creighton & Marquette are right there - could put them in Tier 1. I'd say all 8 teams in the first 2 tiers have the money to compete at the top of the conference and at least an NCAA bid. Then it becomes, who uses it best, who can spend extra when they need to and which coaches develop and get the most of their teams.

Then there are the 3 bottom teams who don't have the tools to compete and would need to find underrated players, avoid injuries and have a tremendous coaching job just to finish in the middle of the conference.

We need to get in that second tier with Providence, Xavier, Gtown & Nova.

I agree with those who have expressed the sentiment that Harmon, if healthy and fully ready to go, was not going to make a huge impact on this team. If I recall correctly, he was ready to commit to Seton Hall early and we even held him at bay for a period of time to see if we could find someone better. He had a nice season at Bethune Cookman last year but the Big East was always going to be big jump.

Yup -- that was posted here. We had him in the fold or were looking at numerous other options, including as to whether (a) we would even take the kid and (b) if we did, it was as a backup.

Agree with the above. And I'd say it closely aligns with what I'd say are the Player Salary Tiers.

Best is when he said I am the only guy in the country that has white kids that can't shoot

I still love the fat kid with the cupcake line when he was talking about Angel getting the rebound. Something like Angel is like a fat kid standing by a cupcake. He's gonna get that cupcake.

Of course he deserves some blame for this fiasco. And he knows it. He is taking the amount of criticism he deserves hard as no one wants to win more than he.

My point is that I and others worry about his health. To see him in the post game is brutal. He has the weight of the world on his shoulders right now.

Your assessment of Shaheen's health is alarming. Does that mean, though, that he thought the team would be considerably better: maybe a game or two below .500 in the Big East? 9-11 or 8-12? Has he been blindsided to an extent by its shortcomings?

You have to figure we'd be a near lock for the Final Four if NgaNga were still here.

I am furious at Coach Sha for letting Sada NgaNga leave before the season. I am fine with Seton Hall replacing him with a new head coach.

The year Myles was a JR I think. I told my wife as part of our Christmas present for my son who lives in NYC I would take him to the SJ gave at MSG. She was upset I hadnt bought the tickets in time for Christmas. I laughed, knowing 5-8K would be available the day of the game. To be sure, I called up SJU to order two. They told me all their seats were sold. No worry, I get to MSG a little early the day of the game. No tickets were available but for some that cost I think about $1000. Huh?? So I scalped them. But it was a sellout. I think SJ had a deal for vets. That was the day I found out that in today's world, scalpers have business cards lol.

Went to a few MSG SJU games, all had great SHU turnout.
