2021 Transfer Portal

It's funny how quickly the tides seem to turn. Just a couple of weeks ago, we looked like we were on the verge of falling off the map and SJU was on an upswing.

BE Coach of the Year Mike Anderson!  And comments like this:

St Johns will be in the top of the BigEast for a long time while we continue to dwell in mediocrity at best.

But really - it is concerning how many guys are leaving.  Maybe he'll be able to backfill with 'his' type of guys.  We'll see.

I wonder if playing his style of defense was too much work and they're transferring as a result.

There was a jealousy factor, I'm told, of the attention the New York guys received with certain players who have left St. John's. #sjubb

Shouldn't Mike Anderson be held accountable for that or no?

I shouldn't have switched to decaf. What does this even mean? Can someone translate?

Bates backed out of heading to Austin when Shaka Smart left to take the head coaching job at Marquette.

"For me it was pretty simple," Bates said. "I committed to Coach Smart, not Texas. So when he left I knew I would have to look at my options."

So far, Bates has heard from Marquette, Gonzaga, Illinois, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Washington.

"Outsiders" felt the New York players got more than their fair share of the attention.

Brandon's cousin is Jordan Goodwin from SLU. Brandon is trying to get him to come back for one more year. Chis Hollender, (Cuonzo Martin assistant) recruited him to UMKC so there are a few, long term, close relationships to overcome there. Others are random. Some of the others have less connections but have impressed him with their effort. (Mike White)

Brandon committed to Florida today.

[Billy Hoyle]

They have 3 recruits coming in and 1 transfer so far.

Net -3

Two transfers now.

Great news on the MU recruits. Love what I see from Mitchell and seems Jones has been on the rise as well. Would still be very nice to get Aidoo. Maybe the current guys can help out with recruiting since it seems Stevie/Kam may be talking with him too.

[warriorchick]

That is a great name.

Agreed.

This sounds promising.

Get Bates in a Marquette uni. 

Immediately. 

[MU82]

Get Bates in a Marquette uni. 

We can even let him rename his dorm the "Bates Motel"!

Immediately. 

He's absolutely electric. Get a little strength on that frame and he's everything we thought JJJ would be and more

[CountryRoads]

Watched Bates' game today. He just had an okay game (about 10 points) and his team lost so his season is officially over. He's pretty lengthy but definitely needs to get stronger. He was also about the 3rd or 4th option on his team so it was hard to tell. High level game.

[The Sultan]

We can even let him rename his dorm the "Bates Motel"!

To appeal to his parents and grandparents?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Furman transfer Noah Gurley listing his top 10 "soon"

[CTWarrior]

Didn't realize Len Elmore was coaching them.

Outstanding!

[lawdog77]

Brady Manek. Interesting player

Got to believe given our mins available and shakas track record of developing big men that we should have a good shot of landing an impactful player
