Looks like he requested a release today. If he leaves, that's a big blow to a team that has some opportunity to improve next year.

Something doesn't smell right to me in MullenWorld. The LoVett situation was odd. This situation is odd. The Sid Wilson decommit was odd. If Shamorie Ponds goes pro....I'm not sure the Red Storm will win a conference game next season. (Except against us of course, Fing Johnnies)
Seems like St. John's always has extensive departures.
Playing time available at Pitt.

Campus is brutal, practice facilities stink and only thing they have is being in BE and some games at the Garden.

Ummmm?? Disagree
Kassoum Yakwe is now also transferring from St. John's, managed to graduate in three years to become a grad transfer. He severely declined after his impressive freshman year but it is still a blow to an already depleted roster.

I made a joke about this on Twitter and a handful of St John's fans seemed to get offended because they have "7 returning scholarship players" and 3 freshmen. That said, they're down to like 4 that have played for them before. Uppity bunch.

Sju has some more pretty impressive traditional transfers becoming eligible next year.

I've read two things about Owens, I don't know if either is true. One, is that he is just exploring, not transferring for sure. Two, that he wants to play on the perimeter more and that's why he's transferring. I guess being 6-11 185 isn't great for traditional post play in the Big East.

The campus is pretty bad. I applied there for undergrad and, after visiting, took them off my list. Plus it's a huge commuter school, so not much going on over the weekends.

It's a neighborhood. I would hope your search for nightlife allows you to leave your neighborhood.

Been to SJU many times. Correct Sju is a bit different than the traditional campus,but its significantly bigger than MUs campus, at least the not segmented by roads portion. Additionally yes many are commuters but there is a large core of dorms, and pretty substantial off campus housing with blocks of student houses, duplexes, apartments, across the steet from the dorm cluster, etc.
similar to depaul.
While there are alot of bars, restaurants etc along the campus there is no traditional old wells street atmosphere. Mostly house parties, frat parties, bars, and many students head to manhattan. Fake ids virtually unnecessary in NYC.
Seems it wasnt a good fit for jutawmu, which is fine many different strokes for many different folks, but i think the picture if SJU is far bright than painted. Funny thing is my experience of purdue is of the ugliest campus and worst night life campus i have ever witnessed. For clarification ive been on all B10 but illinois.
St. John's is a dump. This is a well known fact among anyone who has spent more than a weekend in the NYC metro.

Fun fact tge horn section at the beginning is a "sample" (to me a rip-off) of a very famous salsa song.

I wouldn't call that a cover. They sampled the sound but that was it. I imagine Walter Becker is spinning in his grave over that song.

Becker and Fagen must have done well, the required an advance of $115,000 and 100% publishing royalties.

Matt Jones from Kentucky Sports Radio said Marquette & Purdue were the two worst campuses in America.
A) he probably never found the Wet Spot
B) maybe he visited post Lanche / post Evans House being dry
C) We own Kentucky since 1971 so he's just bitter

Wow, nice.
St. Johns can never seem to keep players from transferring out or leaving early. There is a tremendous amount of turnover there, especially going back to the Lavin era. Wonder what the difficulty in keeping players there is? Or if it is just the type of players they are recruiting.
Nothing spectacular about Purdue but it is far from the worst campus in America. It's been a few years but I didn't think it was that different from several other Big Ten campuses.

Been to everyone many times but illinois, purdue is an absolute shiithole. So ugly cement buildings no character. Little green space and campus life leaves a ton to be desired.

Not only that but it's in the absolute middle of nowhere and is nearly 60% male (which is actually an improvement, it used to be over 60%).
For me, "worst campus" isn't the architecture or aesthetics but rather location and campus life.
