Hopefully there’s a less worrying explanation like “another program thinks St. Joseph’s of PA are all a bunch of dorks and decided to poach one of the best players”.

St. Joe's Jordan Hall is in the portal. Huge hit for the Hawks. They officially are behind us in the offseason portal impact world. He was super talented and has the height and build to be good. Maybe in the right program he will succeed, but I saw so many lazy/losing plays from him just in the 1 or 2 games I saw of him. Not getting back on D, bad shot with no passes, turnover and then getting beat. Certainly potential, but not nearly what he was hyped to be, from what I saw.

Scored more, rebounded more and had more assists in the A10 as a freshman than he did as a senior in the Catholic League...
SJU was the biggest offer he had, by a considerable margin...
Totally outplayed any reasonable projections

Now do this. How did his catholic league team do vs. his A10 team? Look beyond the box score, i pointed specifically at what he did in games I saw- judging stats on a 4 win team where the best player was out for over half the season doesnt really draw an appropriate picture. You could have averaged 10 and 5 for the hawks this year if you played as much as he did.

Ok...
The 30+ HM coaches reaching out daily should talk to you...
After viewing EVERY possession on synergy, they are under the mistaken perception that Hall is actually a good college player...
Post ur email, I'll have get with you are an "accurate" scouting report...

I thought Hall was good and had a lot of upside. Surprised we were not really involved in his recruiting iirc. He is probably better off being a big fish in a MM or HMM than jumping to a HM but it will be interesting to follow

Well if you read my first post... I said "he is super talented and has the height and build to be good" so I dont think I questioned that at all. But his decision making and effort seemed to really be lacking. I also said if he is in the right system with the right coach he will succeed. But it still stands that his numbers were inflated and he wasn't that impressive as a whole this year. That doesn't mean he is bad or will be unsuccessful.

Crazy that Buzz Williams got a Philly kid after what he did to DJ Newbill and Brett Roseboro. One of those fake pious scumbags

Go to some of those schools you can come out (if you stay) with a nice balance in your investment account. Shame they don't lobby for Roth accounts for athletes.

I'm alot more excited now than I was when the bat signal first went up. Was not aware of the connection with Sherif, and no promises made to the kid. Being healthy and a change of scenery may do him some good. Let's hope he can regain the scoring touch he had in HS.

very disappointing news. i thought maybe we were going to get this kid after the walk-on from sanford committed. they were high school teammates for 3 years. he would have been perfect to fill the last scholarship. versatile combo forward who can score, rebound and defend.

Does anyone think we got enough influx of talent coming in?
Just curious. I know some think we have enough talent but coaching needs to improve. I don’t share that thought.
I agree Ash needs to be better but I still think we are really short on talent, especially in the frontcourt.
I hope Ash hasn’t given up on getting some more commitments.

Yes, although also worried about the frontcourt. Our problem isn't talent. Our problem is developing the talent we get and coaching the players to understand their roles in a system (what that system is I'm not entirely sure).

In reverse order
Brockington seems like a head case. Bonnies to PSU. Struggles then succeeds at PSU. Goes in and out of the portal twice in 2021. Rumors were that the second portal entry was prompted by transfer to UNC. Then with all the hype and his 13 ppg in Big 10 play, he winds up at ISU, a program in some disarray. SMH
88, we need another big. Davis would have been a good get with a lot of playing time left, but if Ash has designs for someone with more immediate impact he should sign him.
IMO we lack a long strong athletic 6-7 to 6-8 player who can match up with like A10 players. Ray and Clark don’t quite fit that matchup, nor did Spencer. This used to be our bread and butter go to Explorer. Cannot understand why we have so much difficulty landing talent at this position. We also have a few extra 6-4 6-5 types that are tweeners (excluding Josh and Sherif).
