KR NY Post Headline

KR left for money pure and simple, he had a home that appreciated him. The disconnect with SJU is Petino's style and KR's style. KR is a patient and deliberate point guard, a quality that was well suited for Sha's defense first mentality. Pitino loaded up on talent and he wants to play an up tempo game, this will be an issue as the season progresses.

I'm predicting huge chemistry issues for SJU, a prediction that I've made each of the last 5 seasons. You can't fit a square peg into a round hole.

KR will be richer at SJU, but he would have been happier at SHU.

Jerry on the game

The more you read Shaheen’s quotes on the players the more you realize he knows how bad they are.

He is basically telling us that some of these guys have never been coached before. He’s literally starting from the fundamentals.

Sha has used these games essentially as practices. Results weren’t his main objective. Sucks but that’s where we are. Hopefully come Big East season we have a more stable rotation

Commits

We need to balance out our recruiting with some high school kids and some transfers. Sha's system is difficult to learn. It takes time. Bring in a couple high school kids that can develop, learn the system and be productive as sophs, jrs and srs. Mix in a couple transfers that can fit in and make the team better. Having only transfers is not the answer.

We hear how NLI money should start rolling in after the practice facility is up and running as the doners now can focus on NLI and not the facility.

Agree we need both, even if incoming frosh are long shots. Most have been for several years: look how so many leave for more playing time. If we depend only on the guys in the portal in April we will always be desperate and a second division BE team.
