Yeah that worked out well.

Aree with moose on this one.  Most of the time those deals don't come to fruition.  It seems that Wainright likes SJU and UCLA the best barring an unlikely package deal to UK which it seems Randle is pushing. I think that in the SJU vs ucla department, we're probably ahead as Wainright seems to really like Lavin and there are some connections there.  To me, the article seems quite encouraging.

Let me clarify, it is great news that were one of his favorites, it would be better news if his best friends weren't pulling for a package deal and if cal wasn't his favorite coach.

Wainwright gave us a shout out on twitter and when someone asked him if he was still considering us he gave an emphatic yes

ESPN is televising 3 HS games tonight and I believe the 9:30pm is our boy Ish Wainright from Montrose Christian.

Anyone interested in checking out a target, take a peak.

Saw his game tonight and was impressed. Hes got a pro body, with great length and athleticism. His game reminds me of Justin Brownlee but a bit more outside orientated.  I think he would fit in great in our system and hope were still high on his list.

Ismail tweeted "Go St. Johns!" today during the game...  Gotta like that we're at the forefront and on his radar.  He's a fan which is a very good thing for us...

Earl Watson instrumental in recruiting this gem. Also played a part in bringing Branch aboard.

Good to hear.  Heard he's fantastic.  Love to land Wainright.  Like I said, this kid is rooting for SJU and that is a very good thing.

Per Alex Kline....

Ishmail Wainright lists Missouri, Texas, Florida, UCLA, St. John's, Kansas St, Baylor, Kansas, NC State, Texas A&M, Louisville & more.

And he wasn't there to see Georgetown...

Latest article on scout.com.  Says UCLA is out front now but is hoping to visit SJU this spring:

“I don’t have a list right now,” he said. “I’m going to make my list probably after the summer, probably in August.”

Ben Howland and the Bruins are among the schools showing the most interest, according to the four-star prospect.

“UCLA is probably the top gun right now,” he said. “They are showing more attention that anybody.”

“They’ve been to five of my games this year and a lot of my practices,” he added.

In the midst of a busy season, Wainright hasn’t been able to take many visits recently. He said he did attend a pair of Georgetown games this year.

“I haven’t scheduled any visits,” he said.

“In the spring I’m looking forward to visiting Syracuse, St. John’s and I also want to visit Florida,” Wainright added. “I want to go down to Florida. Kasey [Hill] wants me to come down and visit.”

Keeping Howland on the hot seat càn only help.  Now if they get rid of him, it might be better than if Howland has a good year next season.

It looks like he had/has interest in Georgetown, too.

Don't see him as a Georgetown type of kid but it doesn't hurt that he plays HS in their back yard. It also doesn't hurt to have him playing High SChool ball for a coach so close to Rico Hines. The UCLA interest could go away quick depending on what happens with the socially awkward Ben Howland.

No mention of SJU.
