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

If my memory serves me, and thats a big if because its been marinating in Manhattans for the last 2 years, but it was JB who gave JG3 the nod over Kadary at the time. If I recall correctly, it was the assistants that really really wanted Kadary and were a bit perturbed at JB for the decision to go with (for lack of a better word) JG3. Maybe Kadary remembers that Red went to bat for him. Maybe that means something. Who knows.

I also recall that Richmond was really excited to be Orange at first. Unfortunately, he and JB didn't click, Girard was the choice, and Richmond left.

Similar stories abound, with Starling and Westry both choosing elsewhere, then coming here at least in part because JB retired.

Richmond fulfilling his dream of playing for the Orange and getting a big NIL deal doesn't seem crazy. Plus, he's already comfortable with the coaches and school, having been here.

With JB retired, it really doesn't seem far fetched if the money (and other unknown criteria) are right.

Girls(ish) have used that line on me for years. I don't want to raise your expectations, but I'll talk to you. Mostly because I want my phone to stop ringing.

Hopefully this time the movie will have a happy ending.

I'll help you up your game if you need it.
 
Kadary and Jaquan played against each other in HS a number of times and I am sure many other times in summer ball, AAU, etc. They have known each other for a long time. I bet they are talking about playing together and how it might work.

If Richmond comes, we would suddenly have 5 guards, 4 of which are NYC natives. You could call Chance a guard too but I consider him a swing man.

I guess this is what happens when your HC and most experienced assistant are both from the city.

Kadary was two years ahead of Jaquan but they were both among the best players in the city circa 2019.

Here is one article on a game they played…

Compare that to Red this year. He never threw any players under the bus when he probably had many chance to do it.

That’s true but Autry also just coached one of the worst disciplined and least well behaved teams in Cuse history. One might argue that perhaps he should have thrown some under the bus to gain full control. Autry needs to show full control this year no matter how he does it.

JB not only made a bad decision but in addition the way that he tried to defend his decision by trying to put the blame on Kadary for not being in shape was a low point for him.

Huh? Holloway had the same issue.
“Holloway still believes Richmond can get into better condition and has to want to bring 100 percent effort on a daily basis. Asked what the new coach is working on with his star, Holloway bluntly said, “from the shoulders up.” “I tell him every day, 'we can't turn the switch off and on,'” Holloway said.Oct 19, 2022”

He played 21 minutes a game here as a freshman here in 2020-2021 and 25.9 minutes as a sophomore at SHU. It was between his sophomore and junior years at Seton Hall that Holloway made the above comment and I doubt anyone at SHU thought Holloway was being cruel. In his junior year he played 27.5 minutes/g and this past year he increased it to 32.7 minutes/g. He’s not the same player after his 4th, heading into his 5th year that he was here in his first. He’s still has so much talent to display, and even more potential ahead of him.

I have that decision up there with Vietnam, Ryan Leaf or Sam Bowie - the deal we got was probably worse

I would think if Kadary wanted to come back it would be a quick decision. The fact he’s setting up visits would not be a good sign.

If we're in the running, it's more than most of us would have expected. Let Red and Griff work on the deal.

Kadary’s steadily improving career stats are also a lesson for fans needing to have patience with players as they develop (and players also needing to be patient in their development process). I bring this up here because we have a lot of fans that are skeptical at growth next season from players like Starling and Bell, like they’re finished products. Both of those guys have a real chance to take big step forward next season on both offense and defense, especially with different players around them.
