So happy for ty a @CHSAA_NYC alum at @IonaPrepBBall That this game comes in his 4th NBA season is a tribute to a guy who kept working to get better even after he was established in the league. Well done
Ty Jerome dropped 45 PTS to set a NEW @memgrizz season opener scoring record last night 😱🔥
He’s also the 4th player in NBA history to record his first career 40+ PT game in a season opener, joining Ja Morant, Nick Anderson and Wilt Chamberlain!
I know the focus for #sjubb fans has been on adding an extra big but another floor spacing shooter would help. Nick is a classic late bloomer who's been well prepared by a great coach James Jones. Here are some stats espn.com/mens-college-basket…
Yale forward Nick Townsend, the Ivy League Player of the Year, plans to enter the @TransferPortal, his agent Adam Godes tells @On3.
The 6-7 senior averaged 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game this past season, shooting 46.3% from three.

To me this clip of Arias getting a hit off an LHP is a good sign of progress. Also not sure why some see his long term future at second when he looked good playing 3rd at HV #yanks

This is a great example of how Kamsi plays. A great combination of power and touch around the basket. Combine that with a relentless motor for rebounding and you have a terrific prospect.
The Big Fellas Is On His Grind#Growth And Development While Dominating With Power, Skill And Touch On Defense And Offense. Keep Working @KamsiAwaka0097 @NewHeightsNYC @BlairAcademyMBB

That's why people like the late great Tom Konchaski are so missed. He was the best evaluator and most honest guy in any gym. When it came to evaluating players all he wanted was to get it right
Rooting hard for @thacoachmike to move to the HC chair at Michigan. His teams at Ok. State were well prepared defensively and he is better prepared having learned offense under coach. He's not only ready as a coach he's ready as a leader both in the locker room with his players but in the media communicating with Michigan faithful
"It would be really difficult to lure away a high caliber coach from another institution at this point ... I think Mike Boynton's gotta be at the top of that list."

Really glad to see this tough andsmart point guard who can score when needed come from Fairfield prep and the post grad year at Northfield Mount Herman same school that gave the Johnny Chris Ledlum. He may be a back up point guard but he can play a lot of minutes if needed and can play with Ellis who appears to be an aggressive score.
Avery Brown will serve as a veteran presence at point guard with Quinn Ellis.
He’s got good size at 6’4” and brings toughness on both sides of the ball.
Fun fact - St. John’s reached out to Brown way back in 2020 + Brown played with @nygauchos #sjubb
Fingers and toes crossed that the Dioibate rumor has legs Some fans may recall that Mo started at John Bowne HS in Kew Gardens before heading to prep school. Since graduation he has become an important glue guy at Mizzou Alabama and Kentucky. Do not be fooled by modest numbers . He guards 2 thru 4 and will help his team establish the physicality and toughness it needs to win at the highest level #sjubb
St. John's is quickly getting to work on building next season's roster, scheduling on-campus visits with Kansas State transfer Abdi Bashir and Kentucky transfer Mouhamed Dioubate.

Congratulations to Johnny and his family. Some of you may recall that he was a 4-year veteran varsity player at Iona Prep and improved each season in the tough CHSAA he’s a heady playmaker who can knock down shots
After finishing his postgraduate year at @STMChancellors, @johnnykeenan7, a native of Rye, New York (Westchester County) & a 2025 graduate of @IonaPrep, will be playing collegiate 🏀 at @PennMBB, which just came off of playing in @MarchMadnessMBB.
During his high school years, Keenan was one of the best floor generals in the @CHSAA_NYC, as he held his own for @IonaPrepBBall. On the AAU scene, he did his work for the @nygauchos.
Look out for him in the @IvyLeague next season.
to #sjubb fans is it certain that Kadary's deal with the Wizards is also a two way? Have seen two stories that don't mention that. I sure hope it is because that will give them enough time to see the heady player he is.I also think pro shooting coaches give him the best chance to become a reliable shooter. Every other part of his game is solid
Congrats to Kadary and RJ on signing two way deals. Both are terrific young men with a great future.

Congratulations Vere on a great high school career and on earning this D-1 opportunity. Now show people the winning player and leader that you have been these last 4 years @stfp_athletics You will no doubt do great things helping a new D-1 program grow.
100% committed! Let’s get to it! @stfp_athletics @RealScoutBBall @daves_joint @coachnaas @NJShoreshotBoys
I'm pretty sure the Flyers win in this tournament included a victory over coach Pitino's Iona team. Since then Malachi has battled through some injuries but bounced back for a strong season this year. Many observers have focused on his playmaking as something he can add to a new team but perhaps b/c he's a point guard they are forgetting about defense and specifically his ability to pressure the ball. He's also more switchable than people realize because he'll fight through screens and for territory every possession. He'd give #sjubb much of the swag and toughness they're losing with the departure of Devian Smith Fingers crossed that the former St. Ray's star can find his way home.

Karoline Leavitt refused a good follow up question from Kaitlan Collins.
Leavitt is as rude as her boss and it’s also crystal clear she knows she is full of shit.

If #sjubb has the kind of defense that travels. The early season will put them in position for a tourney bid.
