ive never understood how DePaul and SJU cant find some scrappy ballers from their cities and make a run. too much talent in the areas to be this bad all the time
same for Temple
What you said is the same with Miami football, SJU, Illinois and DePaul. Winning. That’s it. St.Johns and DePaul go on a cinderella run for one year, say Elite 8 or better, and watch what happens to their recruiting the following year. Miami doesn’t lose to Pitt, you would have made the playoffs. Playoffs would have made you top 3 the next year easy. Everything is what have you done for me lately with recruits. Look at Nova’s class. All of a sudden Jay is landing 2 to 3 Mickey kids a class and it’s well deserved. Nova is now one of the most elite programs in the nation.
St. Johns number 1 is landing Munch from PSA as an assistant coach. Head coach is not happening but make him your top assistant. You don’t do that and Munch ends up at Cuse, Seton Hall or UConn, kiss your recruiting goodbye. Just fold it away.
