Reports of the BEast's death have been greatly exaggerated!

quote from the article from NYC recruiting guru:
“They advertise themselves as New York City’s team,” Konchalski said. “They’ve gotta get the best players in New York City. Obviously the city doesn’t produce as many quality elite players as it used to, so they can’t only recruit within the five boroughs or the tri-state area, but ST. John’s has got to get the best players in New York if they’re going to return to even a semblance of their previous glory.”

What NYC doesn't produce as many elite players as it used to? Where have we seen that on here before?

But...but...the Big East can't keep up with recruiting because they don't have ESPN exposure....

Very nice pick up for Mullin and St. John's. Congrats to the Johnnies faithful. A strong Big East all starts with recruiting.

Really great pickup. Congrats!

Interestingly (to me), with the commitment SJU becomes the 6th BE team with a 24/7 composite top 100 recruit in the 2016 class.

Congrats to St John's on a great pickup. Looks as though the
BE is still alive & well.
