It’s official: Kadary to St. John’s

[hallstorm]

Lots of general soreness this year with the press

Seton Hall star Richmond joins St. John's, Pitino

Kadary Richmond, a 6-foot-6 guard who led Seton Hall to the NIT title, has joined St. John's via the transfer portal. Said Richmond: "I'm ready to get to work."

Pitino has always been a slime ball and he hasn’t changed.

 

[piratesbball08]

Get the boo birds ready

 

[lr591902]

This sucks but I don’t think I will boo him next year. I believe booing him will be counterproductive and cause him to get fired up. The one knock is that he sometimes seems not to care. So I will treat him like any other opponent and hope the games against the Hall don’t capture his interest.

okay I will boo twice then to make up for it

 

[Hall84]

Is it too late to contribute to Duke, Kentucky or Oklahoma's NIL.....

 

[NittanyPirate]

General Soreness cashing in on his paycheck. Congrats. When it’s SHU vs SJU he is enemy #1. I hope to be in the stands.

 

[jcpetri]

No reason to boo KR. He went for the money. Big pockets wanted him and big pockets got him. He served Seton Hall well.

 

[SHUSource]

Dead to me.

 

[STLPirate12]

Disappointing but not surprising. Repole was going to spend whatever it took to get this one done.

 

[williaza01]

I posted this before..I was told by someone who would know a school called KR before December and was told thank you but don’t even bother whatever you offer STJ will match and it’s a done deal

 

[PirateFan95]

I will boo him out of the building. He should be public enemy #1

 

[HallX2]

Wish him well but hope he is maddeningly mercurial all season for them and that they disappoint

 

[SHUHoopsFan]

Well that's just stupid. Anyone advising Kadary should be hoping for as many calls as possible driving the price up for SJU to match.

 

[GloryDays85]

Pitino has always been a slime ball and he hasn’t changed.

Blame the NCAA and the process. It is a shitty system that the gutless NCAA has created. I personally hate it.

But Pitino did nothing wrong. As I said last month, he took advantage of scenario where a kid that wanted to go to St. John’s 5 years ago but Mike Anderson blew it with could finally fulfill a thing he wanted to do out of high school.

And the kid is going to make a lot of money in the process..any person that believes in capitalism can’t fault him for that stance.

 

[TrueBlue1989]

Worst kept secret.

 

[knowknow456]

This tests the upper limit of "I wish him well". However, I will not boo him.

 

[SHUisNJsTeam]

He took a big step down. His loss. Yes, he’ll get his bag but that’s about it.

 

[dcPirate]

He and the Utah transfer need the ball in their hands a lot. Hope it blows up spectacularly…

 

[williaza01]

Well that's just stupid. Anyone advising Kadary should be hoping for as many calls as possible driving the price up for SJU to match.

It doesn’t work that way..this was known for a long time.. and he didn’t get 1.5 million

 

[RSPirate]

Going to another school for more money, i do not blame him
But to our # 2 rival just doesn’t sit right with me

 

[Ryanpbkelly]

Pfffftttt big wet fart

 

[Merge]

Not mad at him. Just jealous we don't have a billionaire willing to set his cash on fire for fun.

 

[GloryDays85]

It doesn’t work that way..this was known for a long time.. and he didn’t get 1.5 million

He did not get anywhere close to that figure. These numbers are inflated by agents who use guys like Trilly Donovan to try to create bidding wars and inflate possibilities for the next guy up.

 

[BILL BELFER]

This has been the worst nightmare. I feel sorry for Sha. He must be hurt by KDs move to a big rival of ours.

 

[SHU AL 84]

Hard to hate KR on this. But going to SJ's is the tough part. I would consider a move for a few hundred thousand why should we hold it against a 22 year old kid.

 

[HALL28]

Seton Hall fan rule of thumb: when something good happens (NIT), the kick to the nuts will never be far behind.

 

[bluebeard19]

Make that two SHU greats in the past 5 years that are now persona non grata

 

[PirateFan95]

this is so embarrassing for this program whether anyone wants to admit it

 

[STLPirate12]

You're right, it was probably Repole rather than Pitino who was making the strong ass offers long before he entered the portal.

 

[HallB]

I look forward to Sha's Squad kicking his ass twice (maybe 3 times) next season.

I also look forward to about late December when SJU is mediocre and there are several soundbites from Repole criticizing the team's performance for all the money he spent.

 

[Ryanpbkelly]

I’d respect it more if he just said “they offered me the most money”

But the garbage about “player development and they will allow me to showcase my abilities” feels like total BS.

Guess Sha giving him the keys to the car and making him one of the most coveted players in the portal wasn’t due to him showcasing his abilities here and developing as a player over his 3 years

 

[lloyde dobler]

Let’s see how it plays out on the court … For all his talent, his motor will be tested by what Pitino asks of it.

 

[STLPirate12]

this is so embarrassing for this program whether anyone wants to admit it

No it's not. There's 1 billionaire St. John's fan that wanted so desperately to get one over on Seton Hall that he was willing to pay whatever it took to poach Kadary. SHU matched as far as it made sense, then told the kid to hit the portal and go get his money.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Get that bag...

 

[itsacurse]

this is so embarrassing for this program whether anyone wants to admit it

I’m not embarrassed. Why would it be embarassing?? Everyone knows the deal

 

[NYShoreGuy]

I dont understand the st johns roster construction..
I mean what happens with wilcher

 

[Hall84]

I rooted hard for Tyrese at Florida this year.
I will root hard for Dre at Ole Miss this year.
I was looking forward to rooting for Kadary, whether it was at Duke, Kentucky or Oklahoma.
I cannot root for him at St Johns
I will not boo him after all the memories he gave me.
Like every year I hope St Johns loses every game.
Hope to see him in the NBA.

 

[JoePeppitone2012]

Again one of the worst feelings as a SHU fan watching your potential All American jump ship to cross town Johnnies because of NIL ughhhhhhhh

 

[GloryDays85]

You're right, it was probably Repole rather than Pitino who was making the strong ass offers long before he entered the portal.

Bingo. Watch how fast Richmond’s tweets end with the hashtag #NoBull

Repole along with Tom Brady and the original founders have sights set on taking that apparel company to the next level in sports apparel.

Was sponsor of the NFL combine this year.
