Anderson could be a good hire for St. John's

It is not a match that catches the eye, this hiring of Mike Anderson by St. John's. The institution ended up with egg all over their face. And there will be some obstacles. Anderson does not know the NYC recruiting circuit, and likely does not have many connections there, which will be a definite shortcoming. However, the system he runs makes use of athleticism and depth, and those are qualities that should be in plentiful supply up there. Anderson has been in the national scene for a long time, and so he will be a familiar face to anyone who follows the game. Furthermore, the Richardson pressing system works best where people have never seen it before, and it will be the new kid on the block in that section of the basketball world. So, after a couple of years to get his recruiting ramped up (assuming he is able to do that), Anderson might have some degree of success. After all, he has won 369 games as a head coach.
