Class of 2020 G Kadary Richmond (NY/Brewster Academy) Portal to St Johns

Agreed.

And I'll just add [for perspective] that the coaching staff reaching out doesn't necessarily mean that there is reciprocal interest, that we have the NIL funds to meet the request, that he won't have more preferable options, etc. Until we hear otherwise, I wouldn't get hopes up.

Bingo but not even making the effort would be maddening so glad they did. Also it’s a kid we have an existing relationship with, went to a sweet 16 in Orange and could have a monster year with lots of attention to precede an NBA career. So hey- who knows? Plus he stayed close to home with the Hall so he isn’t having to go far. We can have fun with the what ifs until the door is officially closed.

Also this is one of the times you go out and find that $$$$ . Because if you do he comes and we have a great year- the faith in the sources of that money that it is well spent goes up.

Come back home Kadary

I don't want to raise anyone's expectation's but we have talked to Kadary.

I’m happy we’ve at least talked to him. I imagine Griff and Red still have a good relationship with him. But I’m doubtful we have the dough to actually make this happen unless there’s some wealthy angel donor willing to pony up. Anyone?

That Covid year really messed things up. No one got to experience a real campus life because of the (understandable) restrictions. Kadary and Woody never had a chance to fall in love with the school, the campus and city, and our awesome fans and play in front of a packed Dome. I always believe things would have unfolded very differently if Covid didn’t happen.

This would change the outlook for the team tremendously.

I agree like McCord this is something you would/could/should break the budget for. It changes the tone of the team and immediately changes the expectations of the team.

Maybe. And we did somehow come up with the Dough for McCord. So you never know. But I'm not holding my breathe.

LOL what did u start here? People are gonna be drinking blue light till they hear kadary’s decision

 

[Todoubled23]

We’re not done and I will add there is reciprocal interest. It’s not a one way conversation.

No guarantees.

Cheers to Beers - it’s the off season so why not have some make believe fun?

I believe we have more than most people here think we have, for the right player. Is that going to be enough for Kardary? I’m not sure. In general, I am pleased that we seem willing to at least attempt to pony up for a big fish that fits the bill.

It’s more fun to have some hope than piss and moan about not having it lol

Just FYI re: the tweet above, not suggesting we aren't talking to him or even have a chance, but if it's a strictly money deal, we're gonna lose.

Johnnie’s just doing what every NYC team tries to do- who cares about fit or puzzle pieces just throw as much money at everyone and hope it works out

I think Rick is a little smarter than that.

 

[Jake]

I don’t think he goes to St. John’s. The shine is off Pitino.

 

[orangefog]

Yes. I tried to say exactly that. I just reported that we have reached out.

IT'S HAPPENING!

One of the all time greats of comedy.

Ha. Some of those opinions would flip really quickly if he were to come back here.

I feel if he wanted St John's and St John's money that would have already happened.
