@hmmm1983 @JSchanzer @FDD @NatalieEcanow We are all very familiar with taquiyyah.

@hoopguru4589 Nah. My tears are for the sport of college basketball, not because St. John’s is spending $20+ million on a roster. They can spend however much they want, but my point is, these numbers are unsustainable. The increases in roster cost from year to year has been insane.

[Richard Coren @CorenRichard]

These numbers are unsustainable.

Just before the NBA Draft withdrawal deadline, Tounde Yessoufou committed to St. John's for upwards of $7 million, a source involved in the process told me.

Yessoufou, a Baylor transfer, chose the Red Storm over #UCLA and others because St. John's, a non-football school, could ensure fully guaranteed rev-share money to a student-athlete on an international visa.

Story with more details coming soon.

Four Friars landed in the final 247Sports portal rankings - Byrd at 11, Vanterpool at 77, Mack at 90, and Page at 106. PC is 8th in the team rankings. Quite a haul for the Shark. #pcbc #pcbb

@On3 @msstamps7 @JoeTipton No Providence invalidates your entire list.

@HTee02736181 @BigBrainBizness Who do you think wrote the scripts?

[Richard Coren @CorenRichard]

@xTeamZuleta24x Actually didn’t see that, but you know what they say about great minds… :)

Anyone looking for a stretch four? #pcbc #pcbb

NEWS: Kamary Diakite, a 6-8 forward, is exploring the college route for this upcoming season, per agents @BoscoGiorgio98 and @ArtursKalnitis

Diakite averaged 16.9 points and 6.7 rebounds on 48% shooting in the Swiss NBL this season — averaged 15.9 and 7.9 rebounds on 51.2% shooting for Switzerland in last summer’s U18 EuroBasket.

Would enter Division 1 as a freshman (2007 born).

[Richard Coren @CorenRichard]

@Friartown311816 @Mike01588 @ProvidenceCrier @Divine_ProvPod @DivineFriars @FriarsCapital @stevehartnett92 Thanks Red! Much appreciated!

[Richard Coren @CorenRichard]

@SKFriars All fair points.

[Richard Coren @CorenRichard]

Malik Mack. Thoughts? #pcbb #pcbc

[Richard Coren @CorenRichard]

@SKFriars Yes, no question. But in those last few possessions, he’s also on the floor defensively, and might get hunted by opponents, so it works both ways. Going to be very interesting, no question!

[Richard Coren @CorenRichard]

@crancowboy1 Size has been a problem defensively as he’s been bullied but we’ll see in a new system.

[Richard Coren @CorenRichard]

@ScottCordischi My thoughts exactly.

[Richard Coren @CorenRichard]

[Richard Coren @CorenRichard]

@bmcody Small though and gets bullied on defense.
