Jabarie Hinds - PG - Mount Vernon HS - Mt. Vernon, NY - WEST VIRGINIA

Awesome player. was taking a visit on campus led by norm today with the mount vernon head coach. i know because i saw it with my own 2 eyes.

is he the lefty point guard. kinda projects like a brandon jennings on a smaller stage

Mount Vernon has a nice program. I don't know much about this kid.

“He’s the best kid I have coached since Ben Gordon” said Cimmino.

Last night Mt. Vernon basketball had an open gym workout from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.  In attendance was St. John’s coach Norm Roberts, Seton Hall’s Bobby Gonzalez  along with assistant coach Dermon Player, James Madison assistant coach Rob O’Driscoll, Louisville assistant coach Steve Masiello and Iona head coach Kevin Willard along with assistant  coach Dan McHale.

Sounds good to me.

I know posters have been saying that the recruits will come if we win this year. I actually think this year is already a lost cause because most kids will sign early before any big wins we may or may not have, so the 2011 kids are the ones we really need to impress.

So if this kid is any good, where is he actually going to end up? We know it wont be here.

I watched him yesterday. The physical, little lefty had six steals, 6 rebounds, and 29 points in three quarters. He knocked down 4 threes, as the opposition went 2-3 zone to try to offset his speed. Among the big boys, Wake is apparently showing him the most love, but it's early.

No way he's going to St. John's.  Too cocky and built up.. Definitely goiong to a Big time school, but no way he is as good as Ben Gordon.

In the consolation game of the McDonald's Classic in Erie PA Hinds dropped 39 including 9 three pointers. 9 three pointers is practically unheard of for a point guard.  Very impressive.

Can't they just Fire Norm tomorrow?

Hinds is the real deal.  I said in an article 2 years ago that Hinds will be the best player out of Mt. Vernon since Ben Gordon, and I'm sticking to that.  Kid can really play.

Can't they just Fire Norm tomorrow?

Exactly!  We're never gonna get these blue-chippers with Norm at the helm.  Might, as well get rid of him soon after we're eliminated from the Big East Tournament.

What happens to Russell Smith.  Career backup?

what is the deal with the recruit from seattle, Anthony Wroten. I know he hurt his knee this year and he was out. Are they still pursuing this kid?

I'm pretty sure his final 5 teams did not have SJU.

This might be a better post in Anthony Wroten's thread.
