Terrance Ferguson - SF - Dallas, TX - API

Just de-committed from Alabama. I'm ALL IN on him if I'm the coaching staff. He is equal parts of freakish athlete and shooter. Would fit very well with surrounding parts. I do have some hesitancy about his eligibility but worth the risk with pieces that are already committed to the team.

Don't recall us ever being mentioned with him. As the #13 ranked recruit would imagine all the bigs will be in on him and the schools that were already recruiting him. Have too believe he would be a very very tough get.

It appears Baylor is making a move on him.

hey guys new poster here...put something up about myself on the New/Old members introduce yourself forum...  I think this kid has some serious talent but has the staff contacted him at all?

St. John's dropped by Dallas (Tex.) API to see five-star wing Terrance Ferguson, who decommitted from Alabama yesterday, per a source.

I have never been as vexed about a recruitment as I am with Rawle's.  I'm still hearing from two different people in Canarsie that he is seriously considering us.  I wish I was so sure.  And now this, as if the staff is nowhere near confident about landing Rawle.  Tough to compete with the southern boosters, on someone like Ferguson, as I have posted in the past. We really need Rawle, unless Ellison shows great improvement.

Why does St. John's 'need' Rawle?

Been saying it from jump street there was no shot.

This kid has serious hops and ridiculous length. Having him alongside Rich, Bash, Kass and Sima would be imposing as it gets in college basketball. Keep grinding and picking up those frequent flyer miles Slice!

Quite a difference between No shot and saying you are not sure you would say we are in it. Just sayin.

Per Zach Braziller

Was told St. John's working on getting five-star wing Terrence Ferguson in for a visit. Barry Rohrssen saw him yesterday. #sjubb

A bird in the hand...  Press for Ferguson hard!  It would make everybody forget about the Rawle drama quickly...

 Maybe then can get Harrison to tell how great it was playing in NY

Wow didn't even think about how Harrison was in Texas...Pretty sure D'Lo would do anything for the SJU but stuff like that rarely happens.

I think we have a better shot at getting Rawle then Ferguson.  The thing that bothers me is how quick we were on this kid.  Doesn't sound like they are at all liking their chances with the hometown kid.  Really have to like the way this staff hustles though.  They really work hard.

Did you think we should have taken a week or two off to play it cool?

They knew decommitment was brewing & jumped on it. 

They did exactly what top recruiters are supposed to do..

There are only a handful of top 100 players totally uncommitted (like Rawle) or verbally committed but unsigned. 

News gets out quickly and it's really just a phone call and plane ride away.   Who knows if in the inner circles they had inkling this decommit might be happening anyway.

With the chances of getting none of them likely, it makes sense to pursue a newly available opportunity.
