Pitt/St. John's......Like Opponents

During the past week and
a half, St. John's defeated
Monmouth 88-83, and
Colgate 82-64.

We play them at Madison
Sq, Garden, not exactly a
neutral court. St. John's
has always considered it
their "other" home court.

Did that really happen? I just figured that they decided to go separate schools.

Capel could've had him.

They both were class of 2021, but Capel convinced them to go class of 2020.

Justin was in.. and then I'm pretty sure Julian wanted to stay back another year and wait until 2021.

Then St. John's came knocking and took him in 2020.

I'm not sure how it all played out, but both at one point wanted to come in 2020 and we obviously only took Justin.

On a side note, I noticed that St. John's played a game recently at the new Islanders arena....USB arena. It's a lot closer to their campus than MSG, but MSG might be easier to get to overall for everyone in the metropolitan area,

I'm not sure if the game I saw was a one time neutral site game or not.

Read the following article. I'm "pretty sure", you are wrong.

man you really got me.

two sides to every story.
Indeed. Two sides.
I always heard he was coming to Pitt for sure but something went astray. Perhaps the explanation is as simple what comes from the horses mouth.

Capel didn't want him in the same class as Justin. Julian was a lowly ranked recruit, more of a mid-major level guy. When a few other options fell through and he reclassified to his brother's class, Capel offered him but it was too little too late. Had he offered them both together, he'd be here.

I completely heard he offered them together. I believe what I heard.

Maybe but I heard he didn't want Julian for that class and he was rated so lowly, I remember people on here saying we couldn't afford to take him.

I completely heard differently. I heard we initially wanted both and would have taken both in either class.

But really, why are we even debating this? Why does it even matter? At the moment, we have neither Champagnie. We really don't need any more evidence for the sad shape we are in other than what is right in front of our eyes.

So as to fret about how hard Julian is going to play today. If he plays really really tough Pitt may lose a game they can win, but if he merely plays real tough Pitt may be able to turn it into a one possession game, in which case it will come down to coaching, and with hidden vigorish, Pitt's staff will pull it out. So if Julian feels he was esteemed as highly as his brother, Pitt win's, if Julian feels dissed, Pitt still wins in a close one.

DT, it's the best i could do.

He's apparently in Covid Protocol
 
The line is +14. I think the panthers keep it closer but capel racks up another loss and nail in his coffin

Here's a novel thought. How about for this issue we just take what THE PLAYER SAID HIMSELF as the reason he choose to go elsewhere! Instead of what your second cousins, neighbors, sister said!!
