I'd like to get back to this (because it's interesting to me).  It seems obvious Pitino (Sr) would be the poacher.   Freshman potential to be paid/poached:  Acaden Lewis, Najai Hines, Jamier Jones, Nigel James Jr., even Stefan Vaaks

But maybe I'm wrong and Shaka is trying to get Najai Hines and Stefan Vaaks.

Shaka strikes me as a guy that does it the natural way. As someone mentioned on here before, he seems more anti-Vaaks to me.

Shaka strikes you as a lot of things, apparently. Grudge guy for sure.

I saw that on the St John's board yesterday and multiple posters seemingly in the know said St John's is not the team throwing out the $4 million offer, but they did think James is the guy being referred to.

Guards: James, Stevens, Portal, Walker, Norman, Johnston (redshirt).

Forwards: Parham, Owens, Egbuonu, Militec, Phillips (redshirt).

Centers: Portal, Pearson, Clark, Hamilton.

It was interesting hearing Tre Norman a few weeks ago on Shaka's radio show talking up Nash Walker. He compared his passing skills to Tyler Kolek, so he's obviously more than a great shooter. Via the portal a quick post defender who blocks shots and rebounds, plus a great scoring wing and Marquette is back in the tournament for the next three seasons at least.

If the quote is accurate, it's definitely the Johnnie's.

If Marquette loses James to STJ, I am officially done with all of college basketball.

Would it be so hard to get a superstar center and get him a Camping World commercial from Lemonis?

They could have him "camping in the paint" blocking shots.

Lemonis isn't the ceo anymore. Max Wagner is. Lemonis still is a special adviser though.
