@dcm44630 @MetsFanManager I am not sure anyone truly knows what to expect from Jovanovic after watching a few youtube videos.

@MetsFanManager @RickAgnello You are wildly undervaluing what dillon mitchell did. I’m a uconn fan not st johns. Mitchell was arguably the 2nd best player on st johns last year

To all the Chicken Littles after missing on Diop… relax. SJU’s got NIL, the portal, and options overseas. We’re still in the driver’s seat. Big move coming!!!

@MickeyKeniff Yes he is.

@RickAgnello He isn't already committed to Gonzaga tho lmfao

As I said Massamba Diop to SJU was always a long shot. He used St Johns to force Gonzaga to up their offer which they did. He is now leveraging once again by saying he is leaning towards Gonzaga

@MickeyKeniff He already committed to Gonzaga. I said from the beginning that his interest wasn’t genuine. We offered more and lost. We were just leverage to him.

@RickAgnello I don't believe it's a long shot. We are in the Final 2. I "believe" it's 50/50.

@MickeyKeniff What is it you don’t believe…lol

@yaomiiiing They tried, they made him a ridiculous offer and Gonzaga matched. His interest in SJU was never genuine.

@RickAgnello Any shot Repole opens up the checkbook even more to close the deal?

@RickAgnello When did you say that? I read all your posts… twice.

@Wirtzberge65887 You’re welcome

@RickAgnello Got it….thanks for the inside info 🤣🤣🤣

@BryanPazaras I wish I could say you were right. But it was fake interest meant for leverage.

@RickAgnello That's fine but you are reading the Diop situation like Stevie Wonder

In addition to Freeman signing with the Johnnies, I am hearing Diop is a big long shot

The NCAA has released a statement on eligibility.

NCAA President Charlie Baker is pushing for the proposal to allow DI athletes five years of eligibility to be voted on as emergency legislation in May, with implementation the next month. Baker is also in support of DI having a legal tampering window like we see in the NFL.

Ian Jackson is officially back. #sjubb

NEWS: Lazar Stojkovic commits to St. John's. The 7'0" Forward from Serbia is a big man with legit perimeter skill, and offensive versatility. Euro scout tells me he's “A big with guard skills.” Ohio State, Baylor, Indiana, and Washington were also expressing interest #sjubb

@BryanPazaras My information is pretty good since as far as I can tell I broke the Freeman news an hour before anyone else had it.

@RickAgnello All signs point to Diop. He's out of options. Tell your guy to find something else to guess on

@BryanPazaras My guy told me Donnie Freeman is ready to sign with the redstorm but he doesn’t think Diop is gonna happen. But you never know, hope Im wrong with Diop. However, the Freeman signing is huuuge!

@RickAgnello Too nebulous. Give me something substantive. He's clearly trending here and will be here this weekend

@BryanPazaras Yes, but they don’t feel like there is genuine interest

@RickAgnello Diop is on campus this weekend

Looks like Freeman will be a Johnny!!!

NEWS: Budućnost's Đorđije Jovanović has committed to St. John's, a source told DraftExpress. The 6'8, 22-year-old Montenegrin averages 4.9 points in 15 minutes in the Adriatic League. Rick Pitino lands a high-level shooter with extensive international and G League experience
