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

[hoopsupstate]

Props to Red for reaching out to him. I had my doubts he would but you can never say never. Time does heal some wounds. I don’t know why, but Kadary didn’t like SU from almost the minute he got here and decided early on he wasn’t staying. Blackwell even mentioned it on a podcast. He also torched a couple coaches on the way out the door. Also, I’m sure some will remember that stupid video he and Woody posted from a “Covid party”.

Hopefully everyone just says forget the past and let’s start anew. I think he’d be almost a perfect add to this group. Not just as a PG but he has a knack for rebounding which would offset others some.

Make it happen Red.

If he didn’t like it at SU from the start, why would he want to come back?

Covids over and theres a new coach

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…

South Shore crashes into Orange Wave

BROOKLYN, NY - The battle for first place in the PSAL Brooklyn AA league was full of energy and heartbreak. South Shore

Would they play together if they were sharing the same position?

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.

He reached a lower point a couple of weeks ago calling into Higgins show to respond to Vitos call, lol

Here's the list from last year that shot at least 37% and averaged 5 assists.

9 guys. (8 really since one only shot 17 3s)

In all of college basketball.

And you want us to find one of them.

That's 8 more than we need. It isn't that complicated.

Sure it is.

How many of these 8 (not these specific 8, but these type of players)

A) Are even in the portal?
B) Are in the price range we are looking at?

I was being silly

The St. Johns board and fans were posting a lot about Kadary taking a three game break mid January due to NIL renegotiations. That 3 game stretch cost the hall an NCAA berth. If any of that true that would be truly awful. Let's assume it's not. While unlikely, he would be an amazing add.

Just playing devil's advocate... What if structured NIL payments he was due were not on time (or something of that ilk??)

We are 100% pay-to-play at this point... no pay... no play...

3 of the 8 are out of eligibility and one has declared for the NBA draft.

I have zero expectations here but to me the play with Kadary, no matter how high the price is that this is a move that can pay off in multiple ways. You add him to this squad and it flips to top 15 team and if things break right a legit contender. You have size, interior scoring, a legit first round talent in Donnie, one of the best shooters in the country, speed and scoring at SG, depth with a legit PG to play behind Richmond or with at times in Carlos, a perfect third forward (Davis) who can do a little of everything and two wild cards in Westry and the frosh Moore. It’s unlikely we get there but the depth and overall talent that he would connect and complete would make this a scary team if things gel.

It’s just likely an incredibly expensive play to make it happen so help will have to be out there to do so. A big year that sends Kadary and Donnie to the NBA, puts us back on the map and then gets us rolling to bring in Kiyan and an overall top 10 class with a couple more txfrs to keep the juice flowing and the last 6 years can start to fade into the background.

Again all of this is fantasy fiction to a degree but in terms of a moment of how do you flip the script… well it’s here if Red can work a miracle.

We need to reconnect with some of the big donors from past years to get things back on track.
Hopefully JB in his new position can do for the NIL in basketball, what he did as a coach for almost 50 years.

Looks like he is visiting Kentucky today:vomit:

Great post. It would be the first time in a long while that both basketball and football are contenders.

anyone in the know ... know whether he's really in play?
or just theoretically in our schoolyard chat room here?

There have been at least 3 phone calls. Now, who knows? But I don't think our coaches are in to wasting their time. I would be taken back if he went to Syracuse. But after what I am seeing football it would be a nice change.

Enough to give me a semi.

He's in play and it's not about only about NIl but the right situation. I would say 25%

Anyone have a red carpet I can borrow?

 

[CousCuse]

Could really up the OOC schedule with a team with that kind of star power.

 

[pearl31]

wonder if there's any
"You know Kadary, if it had been up to me you would have been the starting point guard from day 1"
in the pitch to him

Not sure how that wasn't in phone call one.

I think that was a mistake and it's Oklahoma he's visiting today

Correct but the visit to UK was a error on 247s part and was corrected but UK twitter fans ran with it.
