On the passion for St. John’s Basketball from former players…
“When Mike [Cragg] asked all of the former letterwinners to stand up and I saw all of the guys that were here, that’s something I haven’t seen here before. I know what that means, they are passionate about St. John’s Basketball and want to see it at a prominent level.”
