Johnnies recruit visiting Big Apple [NY Post]

Remi Barry had his heart broken Thursday night. Which gives St. John's a golden opportunity to give the Sacramento prep school star a new love?

Barry is a diehard Rajon Rondo fan. He spoke to The Post just minutes after the Lakers edged the Celtics for the NBA title. Barry will spend the weekend visiting St. John's, one of three programs he has seemingly narrowed his college choices to include.

"I'm really looking forward to it," Barry said. "Coming from Paris, I love a big city. I know some guys might not be comfortable, but I love New York. I love the spotlight."

Let's go Lavin!  Let's keep this momentum going.  No doubt if he can lock him up the 2011 recruits will notice and it will make it easier for them to make the leap.

i really like what barry had to say. there are some good things in the quotes. i have a good feeling about seeing him in a johnnies uniform next year.

Barry has an uncle who lives on Long Island and he has visited New York previously, so he won't blink in bright lights. He intends to study business, making the Big Apple another strong option.
"I know St. John's was once one of the top programs," said Barry. "I know they had players like Ron Artest. Any player would like to help a program like that get back on top."
