...begins on Wednesday 7/9. 3 five day sessions.
7/9-7/13, 7/16-7/20 and 7/23-7/27.
Reebok in Philly and Hoop Group are some of the early events.
Peach Jam is the second weekend and I believe both Sampson and Briscoe will be there.

Brandon Sampson has a concussion & obviously is not playing at Reebok event in Philly this week.
I believe Diallo is in Vegas for LBJ Big Man Camp.
-
Good look at the main events over the next 3 weeks.
Expect the staff to be in Vegas and Philly this week:

Sampson had a hard spill at Steph Curry camp last week. He played on UA circuit and will be in Atlanta 2nd period at The Finals.

Dinos runs a lot of AAU events out West, including the Fab 48 at Vegas this month. He gets tight with some top kids (I believe he was tight with Amir Garrett). He is close to Tyler Dorsey. And he and Coach go back a ways.
I know he has been mentioned here a few times just thought it was worth pointing him out in a picture.

Apparently they have cancelled the remaining events tonight in Vegas at the LBJ Skills camp. Not sure if it is related to his decision.
Evan Daniels
@EvanDaniels Well day three of the evaluation period is pretty much a waste. Cancelled night session of LeBron. Watching one game today...
Also Isaiah Briscoe might have sustained a minor injury:
Ronnie Flores @RonMFlores · 18h
Malik Newman (wrist) and Isaiah Briscoe have shut it down at #LeBron. On the 1st day, both played solid, seen them play better #Grassroots
-
Pretty interesting. All the high school recruiting bloggers who would normally be blogging tonight in Vegas about the LBJ Skills camp are instead watching Wiggins play Parker in a NBA Summer League game.

I think that means he was in Chicago at the Adidas camp. Considering he was in Philly yesterday and you don't need to take a plane from Philly to NYC looks like he went to Chi town for the last day.

I could be wrong, but was told he was not in Philly. Tweet noting his presence may have been an error. Sounds like a "red eye" flight from West Coast or Vegas.
-
Makes more sense. I would bet Vegas.
We know where he will be next week, Peach Jam!!! LOL!
-
And considering Omari Spellman was in Vegas and SJU just offered him my guess is Lavin called him personally to make the offer after evaluating him.

Rivals.com article on the first July Live Period and SJU targets.
States the obvious. SJU watched Mitchell, Waters and McBrayer and then offered Omari Spellman and Sanders.

So what's the guess for tomorrow? Lavin in North Augusta and Chiles with Hines at UA in Atlanta?
-
I'm anxious to hear when folks think our first commit will pop and who that will be.

By the looks of him Adonis will be the first recruit to pop.

Brandon Sampson will not be in Atlanta this week unfortunately.

Dan McDonald @DMcDonaldHoops · 4h
Louisiana Elite took care of Carolina Wolves pretty easily. 2015 SG Brandon Sampson had a big game for LE.
-
You may have been right Fordham;
"Louisiana Elite backcourt: Playing without Brandon Sampson, Louisiana Elite still had more than enough from the perimeter. Tivonte Hardy and his backcourt mate combined for 43 points, constantly putting pressure on the Carolina Wolves. They were able to knock down shots from the perimeter, make plays in transition, and drive-and-kick in the half-court all game."

Yeah McDonald must have mistaken Sampson for someone else. Because I don't think he has been cleared to play yet.

Thought this was an interesting observation;
"10. Schools are trying to limit their drama: This seemed to be a common theme among schools I spoke with throughout the past couple of weeks. The term “low-maintenance” came up often, while some schools discussed how they preferred to get a commitment early as opposed to waiting for another year and holding out for someone slightly better. In another school's case, they were adjusting their entire recruiting strategy. Instead of just stockpiling talent and athleticism, they were looking for some high-academic kids and kids that would help chemistry. Talent is great; too many egos is not.

He must be talking to the programs who have HOF coaches. Because pretty much every other coach is fighting tooth and nail for the best talent, and warts be damned.

Brandon Sampson has been cleared to play this weekend in Vegas.
Briscoe will be playing I believe first two days of this last Live Period in Atlantic City before going to Vegas as well.

Steve Lavin @SJUCoachLavin · 27m
Kudos to my staff for another strong recruiting effort.
Johnnies in position for 4th consecutive stellar class. #Hammer2Rock #sjubb #Grind
I would question last year being a "strong" recruiting effort LOL! but he does seem confident.
-
To hear Lavin tell it, we're loaded with lottery picks.
-
St. John’s positioned to land monster class;
Steve Lavin and Co. have earmarked 2015 as a big year, with several open scholarships to be filled. The Johnnies are in the mix with several elite prospects, most notably New Jersey point guard Isaiah Briscoe, a consensus top-20 recruit who would replace Rysheed Jordan – expected to enter the draft after his sophomore year – and Long Island big man Cheick Diallo.
Odds of landing both five-star recruits are long. Diallo also has Kansas, Iowa State and Kentucky on his list. But Briscoe is said to be intrigued by St. John’s and the possibility of playing his home games at MSG, and has St. John’s among his final seven, a list that also includes Louisville and Arizona.
Lavin has also made inroads with Louisiana shooting guard Brandon Sampson, Georgia combo guard Malik Beasley, California point guard Tyler Dorsey and Donovan Mitchell, a native of Elmsford, NY, who attends prep powerhouse Brewster Academy in New Hampshire. The St. John’s coach is known as a closer – and we’re getting into the late innings.

Hate reading these types of articles this early, unless some of these kids are going to pop right now. Have to land 2 of Briscoe, Sampson, and Diallo to be viewed as a serious program.
-
We need a "pied piper" situation, circa 2010 and Harkless. One pops and it goes from there.

I hope Briscoe is that guy. He's not going to drag his recruitment into the winter or spring, he'll pop before thanksgiving. So hopefully he chooses to stay home, and that attracts some of these other guys.
