I’m sure there’s a more official statement coming from UK, but this is pretty official. It’s over for Slice.
“Yes, it’s done,” one source told SNY.tv. “He’s in New York now. Will be announced this week.”
Rohrssen, a Brooklyn native who still keeps an apartment in Riverdale, is close friends with Mullin, who recently returned to his alma mater to take over the coaching reins.
Rohrssen will join former Iowa State assistant Matt Abdelmassih on Mullin’s staff.
“I think he will be a great addition to the staff at St. John’s,” Turnage told SNY.tv. “He’s shown the ability to recruit New York City at all of his other schools and I assume that those same relationships will help him do the same at St. John’s.”
Dave Boff, head coach of Roselle (N.J.) Catholic, the reigning New Jersey Tournament of Champions winner, agreed.
“I think Slice will be a great addition to Coach Mullin’s staff,” he told SNY.tv. “He’s a New York guy and has great relationships in New York and New Jersey.”
We wish Barry the best, but I have to admit I’m a little disturbed about this one. I understand he’s joining a good friend in an area that he’s very familiar with. I’m sure he’ll be amazing there. However, why were you at KY?
Yeah, I understand you’re friends with Cal, but to leave after one year, it just confirms that we were more into this relationship than you were.
And that hurts.
