BTW, apologies for being captain obvious.
I was talking to a friend through email when i came across this article. The cool thing abt the article was it was written before Lavin coached a practice at St. Johns. This article was also after he was able to recruit Moe Harkless and Jakarr Sampson to campus.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/columns/story?columnist=oneil_dana&id=5580789I thought this was pretty cool....
"Lavin's reported wish list also includes Amir Garrett (Nevada), God's Gift Achiuwa (Erie Community College by way of Nigeria), Dom Pointer (Quality Education Academy in North Carolina by way of Michigan), (Phillip Green (Chicago), Tyler Harris (New Jersey), D'Angelo Harrison (Texas) and Norvell Pelle (California)."
Ill say this......After Moe and Jakarr he got them all except Tyler Harris. I remember 12-13 months ago i was asking where is the sg, who will help shooting the bball. All of a sudden D'angleo harrison pops up in august and we eventually get him. 10 months ago most st. johns fans were asking who the pg would be. We stopped going after quinn cook and never even touch myles mack and that's b/c Lavin knew he had Nurideen Lindsay in his pocket.
All i want to say is the Guy can coach and recruit. Knows where to waste his time and where his time is worthwhile. HE Knows that he has to get all-americans next year to make a difference for this years team and that's what he's doing. I'm confident, hopefully Kyle and Ricardo follow suit with Lavin's plan.
The times have changed...
