St. John's, as usual, is helping circle the drain of a great program and conference. But, I feel would a Texarkana to New York City Recruiting Pipeline be crazy enough to work for St. John's in College Basketball?
For as much as New York City Recruits are playing EVERYWHERE but the City, I don't know if such a move back into the City from the Country would play, especially if Arkansas would recruit nothing but future NBA or NFL Draft Picks.
It would not work this year because St. Johns was ripped for not yanking Chris Mullens sooner, and that's after pulling Steve Lavin from TV and have his health issues flare up.
A lot of these backchannels would have to work through Mother's Day Next Year, because St. John's would need to storm Tennessee Sized Leaps of Faith in Recruiting. (That is asking a lot for a lot, which is not good.) The Big East's future is up for debate, sadly, and St. John's couldn't just win recruiting like Iowa wins recruiting. (Okay, that is a big problem that we are not okay with.)
By the time actual 2020-21 Season Comes Around, those players have to be focused before Midnight Madness or this experiment would go for nothing. I don't think after that, you'd win a lot of games, but enough to win the Regular Season Big East. I don't think that masks the real issue where the fact you have a Coach with No New York City or Northeastern Ties and that would mean you'd have to keep running pipeline until New York City has actual talent and Arkansas picks and wins home grown talent left and right.
Sadly, a lot of this would be fallacy, but, you couldn't have a pipeline for nothing, like how everyone else claims a Texas, Florida or California when Texas, Florida or Cal are not holding down their end of the bargain to begin with.
